"Miss Cassandra, where you used live before here?" Robert asked, sipping his pink drink with a delighted expression.
"Why do you care?" she replied, her face blank, eyes darting around the room.
Robert frowned, feeling a bit offended. "Well, you did say to keep talking, so that's what I'm doing..."
"Yeah, you're doing great. Ask me another question..." she replied, sounding uninterested.
Meanwhile, Cassian followed her gaze, trying to figure out who she was looking for. Robert, still a bit confused, asked, "So, how did you end up living in Magisteria City? Any special reason?"
"No special reason, I just liked it," she replied simply, then added, "So, you were born here, and as for him, he's an outsider like me, right?"
Both nodded, and Cassian spoke up. "Yeah, I was born in Veldora. Lost my parents and somehow ended up here, landing this job with the help of a friend."
