Cactus Soup

Truen returned to the inn and greeted Dwayne.

"Did my brother eat dinner yet?" he asked.

The S rank ex-adventurer shook his head. "He was in the stable with Brutus the entire time. I think they're still there."

Truen thanked the innkeeper and walked back out again to find his troublesome friend. Didn't he ask Zero to ask around for information? What was he doing in the stable for so many hours? It was already dark, Zero should know better than to ignore curfew. He had to be in bed by nine and up by five in the morning. That had been Hua Tuo's instructions and other than a few occasions, Zero had never failed to adhere to this good habit. It was already eight and the doctor hadn't even eaten or showered. Truen must have been too lenient with him.
