“I got lucky you landed in my part of the world,” Esen quips. If Insu comes back, he always tries to make it a point to be where he’s at, but it’s a big world and the rebellion is widespread. Movements like these are built on hope and Insu is the embodiment of that. So, he has to spread himself around fairly to his followers. Esen couldn’t afford to leave his post to travel halfway around the globe for dinner with someone he looks on as a dear friend.
Maybe it’s a little selfish of Esen to want some of Insu to himself out of the work they’re doing. Well, there are so few who would butt into Insu’s affairs late at night to make sure he gets a hot meal before bed. Or even that he gets a few hours of sleep. More than that, Esen wants to ensure Insu has something outside of the work. Someone he can talk to as a person, not merely an ally or a subordinate.
Prying Insu from the adoring crush of people around him, Esen grins and leads his friend away.
“Mom’s been expecting you. She made a veritable feast to welcome you back.”
Esen’s lucky. He’s under the radar and can actually maintain a few relationships outside of their allies and supporters. Being someone who’s more involved with the logistics than the actual boots on the ground has insulated him and his family from the brunt of the government’s efforts against them.
