Theodora and Grove
During late nights, when few sorcerers come to Harré, the guild is staffed in pairs. The canteen is closed at this time of day, so no sorcerers stick around longer than they have to. Itâs at this time deep in the night, when the guild is far quieter than it ever is during the day, that a pegasus comes descending from the sky.
Sulking after they refused to let me join their emergency meeting regarding Zozo, Iâm working overtime to prepare a report compiling our total requests, as well as demon investigation reports to be submitted to the kingdom, when all of a sudden Alkes comes to tell me that the knight commander has arrived. With no other choice, I leave my office to see him. What brings him here so late at night?
My only source of comfort is that Alkes is here, staffing reception. Iâve been relying on him for things every now and then.
Grove Dalvesp... Truth be told, Iâd rather avoid him if I can. Itâs too bad expressing that thought through my words and attitude has no effect on him whatsoever. I donât want to see him tête-à -tête, but itâs not that bad when thereâs a third party present.
âAre you okay, Director?â asks Alkes with a smile, seeing my scowl.
âIâm fine. Thanks for letting me know.â
I go to the guildâs entrance, not bothering to hide my displeasure as I ask Grove what heâs doing here, to which he replies he happened to be in the area and decided to drop by. Why couldnât he just continue on his way? He canât possibly have nothing better to do at this hour.
Stretching his large shoulders with a tired look, he tells me heâs on his way back from Sheera, having made some progress investigating the shapeshifting demon on his visit to Orcinus together with Sheeraâs Knight Commander and deciding to make a temporary return. Sigh... Seriously, if youâre tired, just go straight to your barracks.
I am, however, interested in that demon, so I lead him to the canteen and sit down at the opposite end of a large eight-person table with him, resting my chin on my hand. The chairs at this table are the only leather ones in the canteen, and are thus much softer and more comfortable than all the others. Iâll put up with a headache or a backache, but not bothânot now.
Basically, I took this here because I expect this to get long, and perhaps itâs a testimony to me being okay with it taking long. A little surprised at my lack of intent to shoo him out as soon as I can, I end up scowling again.
âThis is what you look like right now,â says Grove, raising the outer corners of his eyes with his fingers to mimic me. What a nasty man.
âRude. So, what did you find out in Orcinus?â
âIts new king has given me permission to investigate. So weâre just getting started.â
âWhat, you havenât made any progress at all yet?â
âPretty much. Sheera wants to forge a military alliance, though.
