"Well, there comes the second thing. You see...I wanted to explore the possibility of you coming with me." Ariel let out a single, anxious laugh and gave Meesei a glance. "I admit, visiting a...an entire clan of lycans is something I am worried about at well, but I trust Meesei if she thinks it is safe."

Ariel looked up at Rukeewei's eyes and continued. "There would be many things to sort out, but with what Meesei can provide as a down payment, you might hire an extra pair of hands or two to help your brother while you're away from the inn."
