After grabbing the shield and stowing it inside his inventory, Astaroth and Phoenix walked toward their tent. A few soldiers looked at him like he was a fool, while others grinned at him with big, dumb grins.
Arriving back at the tent, Violette was waiting on the outside, looking worried. But seeing Astaroth was fine, she went back to smiling.
"One of these days, Phoenix is going to incinerate you," she said, pulling her tongue out at him.
Astaroth chuckled, even though he knew she was probably right.
They entered the tent, where the rest of the party was waiting.
RedWing stepped up to Astaroth, with a shy look.
"I'm sorry to ask you this, guild leader. But could you teach me how to use these?" he asked, pointing at the two massive wings folded behind him.
Astaroth squinted for a moment, trying to figure out when they had gotten a dragon humanoid in their party. He hadn't had time to check out everyone's changes yet.
