The Black Cat, Part Twenty-Eight

As the girls walked away from the camp, Zenith looked back. 

She could see many people, some looking on with vague interest, others seeming like they were watching a paycheck walk away. 

Naturally, Zenith's eyes roamed onto the Black Widows and the Blades pacing just a few feet behind her. 

They were all making conversation amonst each other. Zenith wasn't about to trust any of them, though. 

[The biggest question I have is, what exactly are our AP gains going to look like? If we end up being incentivized to kill others, no one outside of my group can be trusted.] 

"We have a dungeon a short walk to the west," Julia told Zenith, walking up to her. "And… We might have a situation on our hands by then too." 

"What do you mean?" 

"Player limits, remember?" Julia asked. [Oh.] "We don't have any guarantee that the dungeons around here are going to accommodate a large group. Aside from that one at the opposite end of the map."
