Chapter 37

==Summery==
After returning from an uneventful patrol, Marcus was surprised to see Astrid and Lillian happily getting along. Astrid braided Lillian's hair and fixed her make-shift clothes, turning it from functional but basic, to a more passable outfit, proving she was better at needle work than Marcus. As a prank, Lillian used a water blade to cut the strings of Astrid's top, to reveal her breast to Marcus. But instead of getting mad at Lillian's use of Elemental Magic, she blushed shyly and tried to cover her chest. Marcus complemented Astrid flirtatiously, and she becomes flustered and walks away. 
Lillian then told Marcus to seduce Astrid to get her to trust them and to reduce her desire to return to her homeland, allowing them to reveal more about his condition to her, and thus receive more help from her. Lillian reveals that Astrid can't return to her tribe, because everyone who refused to defect to the Roman Legions was killed, and the only reason she wants to return home is to convince other tribes to fight against her old tribe. Marcus remarks that its a suicide mission, as they will either force her to join their tribe, or sell her back to her old one. Lillian replies that it will be easy to convince her to instead rely on their help to get revenge after he seduces her. Lillian also states that from what she managed to collect during their conversation, Astrid definitely knows enough about Shapeshifting to help him with his condition, and notes as an added benefit, if Marcus seduces her, Astrid can help keep his mana levels low, stating she doesn't think she can do it alone. From this interaction, Marcus can tell that Lillian is not jealous about the idea of him hooking up with other woman, but is instead turned on and excited by it, and after hearing her various reasons and explanations, Marcus agrees.
