Run, please! part 1

Ryu ended up agreeing to Heimar request, It wasn't that he was under any threat, but he did feel a bit pressured into giving him the egg shell. Of course Heimar wasn't going to simply take it from Ryu, and he paid quite handsomly with gold and the light blue coins that Ryu didn't know were made of mithril, a rare metal with magical properties.

By the time Ryu got back to his villa, Luke and Risa were nowhere to be seen, instead Anne was sitting in the dinning room drinking tea with Sera. For a brief second they both seemed startled, but they quickly composed themselves.

"Took you long enough, why did he call for you?"

"Nothing much, he just wanted to buy the eggshell"

"That's weird... Anyway, I just dropped by to invite sera to the hot springs, I'll head back now"

"There's no need for you to hurry"

"Actually, there is, Risa and the others are already waiting"

"Are you not going Sera?"

"I don't know... would it be ok mister Ryu?"
