Royal Pains (Part 2)

"Tell me that at least the good news is really good." Lith wasn't the type to complain so much, yet Jirni understood his reasons.

'In the space of a few hours, he has faced a vampire, several meat puppets, and whatever opponent the Dawn Court forced him to fight in exchange for their information.

'I noticed at first glance that he was too tired for someone who was supposed to just have a chat with them. I never saw him so tired, poor kid. It's better to cut him some slack.'

"Very good. First, we don't have to fight unless strictly necessary. Our is solely a rescue mission, no one expects us to face Thrud Griffon and win. We get in, find Manohar, get out, and destroy the Warp Gate from Othre's side. As simple as that."

"I think you just jinxed the mission." Lith sighed. He had almost forgotten what the word "simple" meant.
