Maddox raised an eyebrow when Sayuri suddenly asked if he could keep secrets. _If only you knew,_ he thought to himself as he closed his eyes. "Yeah, I suppose I can," he told her before looking up to Trinity. "Oh. So you did decide to tag along. Not bad." The inclusion of Damien now confirmed that whatever happened in the back cart, it must've been quite disruptive. Maddox looked out the window for a moment before closing his eyes again.

"Damien brings up a point, you know," he added, still keeping his eyes closed. "It's not the easiest thing to do but you should trust in your guildmates. I know that I do." A smirk formed on his lips now. "People fantasize that joining a guild is as simple as walking in a door. Trust me: you're going to have to get used to us."
