"Hope?"
The individual pulled the sheet over himself upon hearing his name. Cid grabbed him and forced him to let out a single sigh.
"Hope?! Is it you? What are you doing here? Why are you here, you were supposed to be in the north with the council members, how are you here?!"
Hope frowned and pulled back his blanket.
"I didn't go with them... Anyway, they sent a message about it in the group chat, if you were even remotely interested in the others you would have known."
"Interested...? With everything going on, do you think I would have been interested in a stupid group chat?"
Hope gritted his teeth and stood up angrily.
"Yes! I know, I already know, stop thinking you're the center of the world! I was in town too, I saw the Rift, you're nothing special!"
A vein popped on Cid's forehead.
"Oi, watch your mouth, I'm in a very bad mood today, don't test me."
Hope shrugged her shoulders provocatively.
