A True Menace

The archbishop stood at the door together with Rholas, while Cedric was on the ground. The two of them stared at each other for a long time. Neither of them expected that their first meeting with veils unmasked would go like this. 

"…What are you doing?" asked Lucien with a frown. His face was a portrayal of utter confusion. "Why are you on the ground?" 

"…It's all about those gains!" Cedric answered reflexively as he did a few more push-ups to hit his daily goal. "Have a seat!" 

Cedric jumped from the ground and gestured toward Rholas and Lucien, who stood motionless as they stared at the sweaty man. He took out a towel from his ring and began wiping his face and chest as he took a seat in front of them.
