"Ah. There appears to be some kind of mistake. Sometimes, these orbs malfunction out of nowhere. Apologies."

Cesilion took the orb from Nick, who offered little resistance because he was thoroughly confused. After the elf took the orb, he stared at it for a few seconds and then tried to hide his surprise.

For Nick, it was clear as day. Whatever red meant, it definitely wasn't something they were expecting to see for him.

The elf tossed the orb back into their suitcase, treating it like the plague the whole time. Then he reached to grab another.

Pulling it out, he made a show of inspecting it. He must have decided that it was fine because he tossed it at Nick.

For a second it was completely dark, but then...

Red!

"Who are you?!" The orc practically screamed, his previous nonchalant demeanor all but forgotten.

Cesilion reached across the table to punch his arm. Ashgar sent him a death stare that did little to deter the elf.
