"Hello, dear customer. How may I help you today?"
I asked, stressing at the customer part so that I could get my message across to Rhiner to not cause a scene.
But either my message did not get across or Rhiner chose to ignore it completely and present me with the bouquet of flowers he brought.
"I came here to apologize today… about the whole dungeon part. It was wrong of me to drag you along, especially once I knew you were a civilian. You could have been in extreme danger because of me and I—anyway, here. Take these flowers as my first sign of apology. I will take responsibility for you."
Rhiner was not shy to look me in the eyes when he said that.
I almost choked on air when I heard what he was saying. And I could tell that I was not the only one.
The others around me gasped out at the confession as well.
'Shit-! Has the alpha gone stupid because of what happened at the dungeon or something? What nonsense is he spouting? Taking responsibility for me? In what regard?'
