[Ali has to fight to keep from rolling his eyes. Not that Concord's concerns aren't valid, but he's overlooking something Ali sees as obvious.]
It's the night of a festival, Concord. Everyone's going to be sleeping in tomorrow morning. Nobody will even notice you sneaking back into the barracks at sunrise. Half of your men will probably be waking up in other beds that morning anyway.
[Such is the way of human life: festivals invite confirmations of strong feelings, which lead to newborns nine months later. There's a reason why so many people in this country have birthdays in April.
With his hand still on Concord's hip, he starts to massage the muscle there. His legs must be feeling tight already, aren't they? Ali wouldn't want Concord to lose steam before he finished.]
If you need to, we can move again.
[To what position, Ali doesn't know. But muscle cramps are probably a bad idea during sex.]
