A Promise made.

--Bow!

They lowered their heads.

One thing any member of the Red Wings knew was to never underestimate the Goddess, that included looking her in the eye.

"I'm listening—"

Ishtar began to play with her finger.

Clears throats…

"My Goddess, when we tried to recover the man you sent us to abduct, we were met with a slight difficulty during our mission."

Zex was the first to speak, obviously he wanted to make sure the Goddess knew how sorry he was, he couldn't afford to make her even think the slightest bit negative.

"We had already abducted him, all that was left was to bring him to you but then–" he paused, glancing at Scorpion a bit before he continued, "He attacked us, we were barely able to fight back".

—--Ohhhh?

Ishtar seemed amused by what she had just heard.

"Did he now?" She didn't even attempt to hide her smile.
