Seeing that her bad joke hadn't been received with raised brows and disapproving glances, Linette allowed herself one more laugh. She listened to the Muin and Soji's explanation with interest. From her guess, they looked only a few years older than her, but from the way they spoke, it was like they had already lived twenty more life times than she had.
When Jeris grabbed himself another drink, she peered into her own mug. The bitter substance had barely been touched, but she certainly didn't want to lag behind.

"By the twelve..." She muttered and wiped at her hand with the back of her mouth. "That is awful."
Still, there was no denying the pleasant and warm feeling that was forming in her stomach. She gestured to Muin and Soji again.
"You guys should tell Jeris how we met. It's not the arena, but packs of rock slinging opo-opos can pack quite the punch."
