"Welcome back," Mattheus greeted Brunilda when she appeared before him. "How is Liam doing? He sent me messages via the System but considering they were all in formal letter format…"

The cat's fur was raised before she shook off the sensation of being teleported.

After all, she had prompted him to do so, and seeing the mechanic in action made Mattheus curious about the unpleasant feeling the instantaneous travel supposedly gave.
