It was one hell of an afternoon for everyone in the know.

On the one hand, the newbie guild leader was all smiles as they completed their first-ever mission, but inwardly, Luca had wanted to bolt back into the space after a series of alarming prompts from D-29.

And alarming was actually just a nice way to put it.

But he had to see off their first client and would just have to hope that Jax was still alive.

He was.

But he was battling with one determined tortoise to save his children's next-door neighbors.

So, Luca had to trust in him as they figured out how to deal with the family before them, who were partially mortified yet wholly grateful.

Theo was generally thankful and ready to prostrate in veneration for the people who helped him when no one else could.
