She covertly ate a few crystals- the ones she already ate were about to run out. Her face curled at the sweet taste. Bandar smiled, then stood up and followed closely behind all while subtly watching those who surrounded them.

She strolled into the local hostel, pushing Borodin in and glancing around to see if anyone followed them. She found her room and knocked four times. Elene opened the door. "Hey. Nice to have you back. How-" she stopped as she saw Borodin. "I see you brought a friend." Red shushed her and pushed Borodin inside, still on edge. Once inside, she calmed down. "Guys, say hello to our new member, Borodin," 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Pleasure to meet you all." "Pleasure," Elene said with a smile, pushing her brown hair back. Jack just grunted, reading something. Red snatched the book out of his hands and saw it was a supply list of what they had and needed. "Thought I told you to take a break." Jack scoffed. "If I took a break, we'd get nothing done," he retorted. Red frowned but gave the book back. "So, Borodin here is a mercenary that I've decided to hire. Remember to put him on the pay roll." She turned back to Borodin and nodded toward Elene. "She is Elene. The grumpy one is Jack. You have questions, ask him. Anything else, talk to her." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
