I got Lulu to calm down. She clung to me, and I didn't stop her as we met up with Elaine while she talked with Kass. They stopped once they noticed us, and Kass walked up to me and bowed her head.
"Deeply, sorry, Ash," Kass said. "I didn't have all the info and acted rude to you. I thought you were goofing off, not caring about the quest after Elaine told me that you all planned to meet back at the guild in four hours, and you never showed. But To think that not only were you captured by slave traders, found their base so the guards here could raid it, and even got the young girl back to her family in such a short time is nothing short but worth a knighthood."
"Knighthood?" Lulu finally came alive. "Ash, are you going to become a knight? Sir knight Ash? I like it. I like it a lot!"
