Wendy arrived just after Karl finished with the first suit of armour, and Karl got a flood of messages.
[I'm here.]
[Oh, there's Gryphon puppies!]
[Does Lotus know?]
[Where are you?]
[How do I get out of here?]
Karl laughed, and Hugo gave him a strange look.
"The shopper is here with the first batch of delivery orders." Karl explained.
The massive mage smiled at what they were likely to be experiencing in the maze right now.
"What sort of shopper did they send?" He asked instead.
"A teenage Demoness. She's a Commander Rank Mage, and always eager to see new spells and places. I promised her dad I would keep her safe, but I can't see anyone here attacking her while she's making deliveries." Karl explained.
Hugo shook his head. "It would flag them within their Guild for attacking an Alliance member. Nobody would risk being expelled to steal someone else's shopping."
Karl went to the maze to meet Wendy, who was wrapped around a Gargoyle, nuzzling its face.
