****(POV)
There is something weird about him.
The appraiser that just visited our guild.
Somehow, he looks way cleaner than the first time I saw him.
In his appearance that is.
Still, there is clearly something on his mind.
Something that seems to be consuming him entirely.
At first, I think it's because of his dead friend, but then I understand.
It is not that at all.
That only accounts for the little bit of frustration I can feel in him.
No, there is something more.
Whatever that new project of his is, he is extremely invested.
So much that he asks for an advance payment.
He that never seemed to care about gold that much.
Still, at least that lets us work with him.
He is clearly talented.
Yet he has been holing who knows where in the past few weeks.
At least he hasn't visited any competitor.
He came back straight to us.
