Bright future

"Dammit! Why does this have to be so difficult!?" Uriel cursed for the umpteenth time that morning, leaving Miss Dragonfang puzzled.

"What's the matter? I think everything went pretty smoothly. Is this really because you had to spend all that money?" She questioned, but Uriel remained silent. Not because he wanted to keep a secret, but because he was too embarrassed to admit it was because he couldn't make friends with anyone during the party.

No matter how hard he tried to mingle, everyone treated him with respect. Maybe too much respect, which Uriel assumed was because they were scared of him. Needless to say, he was correct.

For most people, speaking to a boss like a friend was difficult, but the fact that he was also the rumored 'Raider' and that he announced the coming of a titan rank cryptid like it wasn't a big thing didn't make it any easier.
