Preparations

"Where did you go?" Kane asked as soon as he met up with Rui.

Rui had purposely left behind his comms device, it was too risky to carry it with him if he ever got stopped and searched in the Graheria Kingdom while he was playing as a normal human. Thus, he had been out of contact with Kane for the past few days.

"Just working on a mission," Rui replied. "How did yours go?"

"It was actually kinda fun. I ended up winning the race," Kane smirked.

"Race?"

"Yeah, we had a race to see who could get to the destination first, because were bored," Kane shrugged. "I avoided the projectiles and attacks better than any of them, allowing me to get ahead of them.

"Well, as long as you had fun, I suppose," Rui chuckled, sighing.

He was glad that Kane seemed to be able to get along with his newfound acquaintances.

"So what mission are you working on?" Kane asked, curious.
