Talking to an Old Friend

Ring! Ring!

"Hmm? Who would be calling me at this time?"

Reading a news article on a high-end laptop, a young man with fiery red hair slightly frowned in response to his phone ringing.

However, once he found out who was calling him, the frown on his face was immediately replaced with a look of slight surprise.

"Valyr?" muttered the young man to himself as he scratched the back of his head in slight confusion. "I'm pretty sure he told us last night that he'd be grinding Greater Beyond for the whole day today. What made him stop all of a sudden?"

"Eh. I'll find that out once he tells me." Letting his phone ring for a bit more, the young man eventually accepted the call, fixing his pair of glasses as a familiar face appeared on the screen.

"Thomas! Long time no see."

"What do you mean long time no see?" said Thomas with fake anger. "We just met up last week for drinks, no?"
