[color=ed1c24]"Ugh—"[/color] Andromeda controlled the urge to facepalm after bearing witness to the others' introduction, if that could be even called that. How in the world could they think that demanding help in return would work? If nothing else, it only made them sound even more desperate and shady.

At least M3—shorthand for Mr. Magic Man—tried to save face right after Graham's incredibly ill-thought answer. [color=ed1c24]"I wouldn't say humble is the right word but let's leave it at that,"[/color] Andromeda said after a deep sigh. [color=ed1c24]"Just as my friend here said, we might have come across the place on our way here. I just didn't want to give an uninformed guess. That's why I offered to help earlier. But I understand if you aren't interested, after our friends'... prank, I guess?"[/color]

The only thing Andromeda could hope for now is that these knight-like strangers wouldn't feel like reporting them to the authorities. A night on the slums was bad, but who knows what could happen if they had to spend it behind bars.
