"So that's how it is..."
Rune took another bite of pasta and washed it down with a gulp of cold lemon-infused water. He is sitting with Shiro at the seaside restaurant now, where they were enjoying a meal in the outdoor dining area. After encountering her in the guild, he decided to take her away before things got any more heated. It was clear that there was nothing else the guild could do to help, so Shiro reluctantly agreed after a bit of nudging. She seemed like she needed someone to talk to, so Rune suggested that they relocate somewhere else to talk. He had not eaten yet, and so it was decided that they would talk over a meal, as long as he was paying, of course.
"I guess your brother was just one step ahead of you this time. There nothing else to it."
