Asking for a favor

The rest of the dinner was very enjoyable. While the two did not joke around much, they enjoyed closing the gap that had grown during the past month.

Ordering some desert, Eldrian asked, "Are you still against trying the game out?"

Almost choking on her food from the abrupt question, Jen had to quickly take a gulp of water. "Your situation certainly didn't make me any more interested in it."

"But what about the virtual home system they released?"

Jen paused as she tried recalling what she had heard. At this point news about ANW, outside of those visiting the official forum, was slim at best. However, it was gaining traction with each passing day.
