Chapter 197: Some Espers disgust me
The timer rang loudly in the room, and Kellen sighed heavily. Turning it off, and putting his phone down, Kellen began to stretch out his shoulders. He even got to his feet and stretched, touching his toes, feeling his shirt strain against his shoulders.
Thankfully, he wouldn’t have to worry about tearing his shirt anytime soon. He was going to be busy enough guiding everyone that he should drop a few pounds. He wouldn’t have to buy new uniforms again.
Was he sad he was losing muscle mass? Yes. But buying new clothes every time was getting pretty old. The uniforms weren’t cheap either, even if the Captain had given him a set without asking for anything in return.
Finally getting up to make that cup of tea he’d teased his escort with, Kellen peeked around the room to find what he was looking for. He found that the drawers under the t.v. that he had thought were just drawers, were, in fact, a pull up refreshment center and a drawer fridge. It was quite interesting and Kellen found that it was an amazing thing that they had done.
Well done Guiding Center C. Hiding it in plain sight.
Making himself some tea, Kellen munched on some grapes and a plate of cookies that they kept in the fridge. He saved most of the cookies for his tea, but enjoyed the fact that the cookies didn’t taste like they were from a store. They must have gotten someone to make them or ordered them in from a bakery. Kellen would have to look into that. It would be a nice touch.
As much as Kellen appreciated what Taylor did, the shakes were...getting old. Doing a little personal touch like this could be good for morale. Especially for the Guild right now.
Kellen enjoyed his tea, and the cookies and was about to pull on his jacket when he heard a scream. It was so loud he could hear it through the walls.
Going into fight or flight mode, Kellen rushed to his door, and cursed when he found it locked like he had anticipated. Hesitating for only a second, he slammed his body into the lock, watching as it shattered under his directed weight and attention, and yanked the door open. Listening to see if another scream was heard, Kellen winced when the ear-piercing sound of pain and anguish came from three doors down the hallway on his side. Rushing for the door, Kellen knocked loudly.
"Is everything alright in there?" He asked calmly, but firmly. The room fell deadly quiet.
"I-I’m fine." The Guide’s voice trembled and Kellen clenched his hands. He wasn’t sure if it was because he didn’t recognise Kellen’s voice, but that was not how Guides responded in situations like this.
