Investigation Team!

"Raymond, what were you 'thinking' when you said that back there?" Sylph huffed as they stepped out of the temple. Her voice was sharp, and her arms were crossed tightly over her chest.

Raymond glanced at her, already anticipating the brewing storm. "What do you mean?" he asked, feigning ignorance, though he knew exactly where this was heading.

"You 'know' what I mean!" Sylph stomped her foot, her fiery temper on full display. "Lorene's the type who wouldn't refuse anyone! If you hadn't said that nonsense about 'no pressure,' she would've agreed to join our team the moment she decided to leave the temple. Now she might end up with someone else!" Her glare was accusatory, her words practically dripping with frustration.

Raymond sighed, running a hand through his hair. "Sylph, she just healed my arm. I couldn't let her join us because she felt obligated or cornered. That wouldn't be right."
