In the evening, Aiden and Abigail sat across from each other around a tea table in Abigail's summoning space.
"It's rare for you to actively invite me for a chat, is there something on your mind?" Aiden inquired.
This summoning meeting had been initiated by Abigail's side.
"Qiqimora has been in Gistas for quite some time now," Abigail replied, not directly addressing the question.
"She should have been in contact with you all along, right?" Aiden asked.
"Yes, but it seems there hasn't been much progress since she arrived in Sunset City."
"That's not surprising, searching for a specific person in a city takes time, and you need certain connections to manage it."
"Are you sure the information you dug up from the Smiling Scales is reliable?" Abigail asked.
"Not certain, but at least I can assure you she hasn't lied to me," Aiden replied nonchalantly.
"Do you think she really has a chance to snatch the Hand of Obliteration from others?"
