Kane grumbled while Rui smiled. "Hey Fae, Milliana."

"My." Fae frowned. "Don't worry, you'll get it next time." She patted his shoulder, before continuing. "Speaking of which, l actually have an interesting proposal for all of you."

"Hm?" Rui looked at her curiously while Kane looked at her with skepticism.
