Took you long enough

The guild master's eyes lingered on Lucavion, her calculating gaze betraying the gears turning in her mind. She seemed to weigh her options, the quiet tension in the room thickening as her fingers resumed their rhythmic drumming against the table. Finally, she let out a resigned sigh, her shoulders relaxing slightly. 

"I see your point," she said, her voice steadier now, though a hint of fatigue bled through her words. "Tight or not, I suppose we don't have much leverage here. The materials you've brought... well, they speak for themselves." 

Lucavion inclined his head graciously, his smirk softening into something more neutral. "A wise decision, Guild master. I look forward to seeing how well the Adventurer's Guild can handle a challenge." 

As she reached out to shake his hand, a flicker of realization crossed her face, and she froze momentarily. "Ah," she murmured, pulling back slightly. "I've been so preoccupied that I forgot something important."
