Appointed Meeting and Time to Negotiate

'Hmm, when I go to the Cultivation House, I must remember not to expose my previous situation with Willi and those two.'

'If I start looking for information from them after their deaths, the organization behind them might notice and consider it suspicious. So, I guess I should look for Willi's origin, considering we have a past together.' Lothur pondered as he had one of his hands on his chin.

'I can use the excuse that I haven't seen him in days...' He smiled, making Anneke think of the things on this young man's mind.

'A drinking buddy concerned about the disappearance of his companion. Perfect!'

"What? Why are you smiling?" Anneke asked as she could not help but smile as well because of the contagious smile of that attractive person.

Lothur then looked into her eyes and continued with his next question. "I just think that this won't be that difficult... Anyway, my other question is a little more complicated."
