"It seems that my report to the guild regarding Canyon Cavern got the attention of the higher-ups," Bolton remarked. "I'm not the only person who asked for you. And I promise you, I kept my report purely professional."
Bil blinked under his headwrap, dropping his gaze to the letter.
"You mean… this isn't just two friends chatting, this is an official offer? From guild headquarters?"
Bolton nodded.
"I haven't read it. I've only been ordered to hand it off as part of our proposal. But it makes me glad to know that I'm not the only person who recognized your hidden value."
Bil took the letter carefully. He broke the seal. It was unfolded, presenting the contents to Bil's covered eyes.
"... Who's this from?"
Slap!
"I'm sorry about that…" Bolton grumbled, raking a hand down his face.
Leena, on the other hand, broke out in giggles behind a few raised fingers.
