"Mister Phantom." The visitor steadied his walking cane and slightly bowed to Sunders.

Sunders frowned upon seeing the unexpected guest. "Something you need, Vifet?"

Vifet glanced at Angor, saw the issue of Moonfrost Periodical, and flashed a concealed grin.

"I wish to consult you on something, Mister Phantom."

Angor stood up and excused himself. He knew that Vifet was probably here to ask about the Evernight Kingdom and the parasites. He had better stay out of the conversation.

Sunders waited for Angor to leave the room and summoned a chair for Vifet to sit on.

"Go on. What do you want to know?"

"I believe Angor knew why I'm here, but it seems he didn't intend to explain." Vifet shook his head and put a hand on his rat. "I was being too harsh on him back at the Frozen Wing. I understand if he wants some distance away from me."
