"Kapo, your voice is a bit hoarse today. What happened, rough night?"
Slipping out from the absolute darkness, Mel seized the initiative and started the conversation just as he was about to step outside. Baybars turned his back, climbed the stairs in two strides, and moved on without answering. This was unacceptable; how could the Kapo run away without responding to his taunt?
"Hold on, what's the rush? The Energy Crystal Mine isn't running away!"
Speeding up behind the Kapo, Mel caught up to him before a few breaths passed, but Baybars was persistent in increasing his pace. This was no longer a joke; darting forward in a single motion, Mel took his next breath standing right in front of the Kapo.
"What happened to your face? Who did this to you?"
