"You really don't mind me leaving right now?" Martin asked the Five Star Chef.
Samu waved a hand. "Count it as a break!"
"Thanks," Martin replied.
He'd asked if he could spend the entire day in the Spring Kitchen, only to ask for a break so soon. It felt awkward, but he hadn't expected Kill Clause to reach out this quickly, either. With his reliable companion already taking another nap, Martin headed to the Light Tree Hub.
Kill Clause was easy to find. As friends in-game, her icon was already on his minimap.
She turned out to be a female archer in beginner clothes. No new gear equipped, just default starter gear, like NukEncore and Chaosgraphy had been at the start.
Probably because she hadn't played the dungeon challenge last week. Still, if she was in Night Espresso, she had to be competent.
She noticed Martin, too. For a second, her eyes sharpened as she sized him up. It reminded him of his boss reviewing his weekly report.
