Astaroth and Phoenix stayed in the guest room of the Guardian wing for two hours, waiting for Commander Levine to come back. They started wondering if something had happened to him.
This feeling was only grew when he came back, his face livid, and his footsteps heavy.
"Are you okay, Rodney? Did they do anything funny to you?" Astaroth asked.
"Huh… No. I'm fine… Sort of… Let's just get going. I need to get away from here and get back to my daughter…"
He looked totally out of it, and this made both Phoenix and Astaroth wonder what he had discussed with his parents. But it was not the time or place to ask.
They only hoped he would open up when they got back into familiar territory.
Grabbing their things, the trio headed to a barracks at the entrance of the inner city, where they found their waiting party members, most of them bored. Aside from the few mage players, of course.
