The Rogues Who Went Rogue
Xandar was at his wife’s side in an instant, and he pecked a sweet kiss on her temple to calm her agitation before muttering, “Sorry for delaying their practice, babe. And you’re amazing, by the way. You have no idea how many eyes lit up when you called them ‘mavericks’ instead of ‘rogues’.”
Before he could sprint away to take his spot, Lucianne protested, “That can’t be right, Xandar. That word is so ancient that it’s lame to use it today. Calling them a rebel would have been cooler but I felt that there may be some…negative connotation to it that would create further friction between them and the rest of our people. I’ll definitely be thinking of a better word for their group.”
