Chapter 385: A Worthy Quest
Srixa sat with a smug expression in the Moon Hall’s waiting room. Stryg, Tauri, and Plum sat across a large oaken table from her. Tauri stared at the huntress with a suspicious gaze. Plum was twiddling her thumbs, regretting once again not having brought a book, any book really, with her from Undergrowth.
“So, Stryg, how long has it been? Less than a week? What brings you back so soon?” Srixa asked.
“What? You don’t want me here?” Stryg asked with a confident smile.
“Not at all, I always welcome the chance to hunt my prey. But I must admit, I was quite surprised when my patrol team spotted you. Your stealth skills are slacking.”
“I wanted you or whoever else was on patrol to find us. I didn’t see the need to try and sneak into the village again,” Stryg said.
“You’ll find we’ve doubled our defenses since then. You wouldn’t have been able to sneak in had you wanted to.”
“Maybe, maybe not,” Stryg grinned.
“So are you two like flirting or do you really just want to fight? I can never tell,” Plum said curiously.
“That depends, are you looking to pick a fight, drow girl?” Srixa bared her teeth.
