[color=ed145b]"Huh, so what made you change side Revuel?"[/color] Skarsneek one eyebrow rose as he rubbed the front of his head where he had headbutted the other sorcerer. "Usually you folks always scream to high heaven and hell that you're gonna kill us all."

[i]Was it blunt?[/i] Yes, in Skarsneek's humble opinion. It was the best way to gauge how the other person reacts, whether they're actually a turncoat or a double agent.

It certainly wasn't because he has a grudge against them, no way, he was the most unbiased person when it came to Varjans. Totally!

[color=ed145b]"Well, welcome to Shizuyama, it's the current rainy season so bring an umbrella wherever you go."[/color] Whatever answer he received, Skarsneek rolled his shoulders and slapped the back of Reveul before feeling a huge headache coming when he sensed something in the air.

And true to his gut, when he turned around, the devil himself came.

Rolling the cart around, Gringor finally reached their camp as he ignored the looks given to him and the cart. Singlemindedly pushing it to the center and giving a questioning look ocassionaly whenever someone comes close to the cart. 

It was his loot, no one takes his loot.

Though his nose flared and sighed when he recognized the scent, rolled his shoulders and kept a more wary look. Can never be too careful around the goblins, always taking and stealing things.

[color=f7941d]"Warboss, came back after a fight. It was fun."[/color] Gringor curtly said with a sneer as he tilted his head to the unconscious form of that mercenary. [color=f7941d]"Brought another boi back for the band, right after bashing 'is noggin in."[/color]

[color=f7941d]"Not sure, but smells bad."[/color] He answered as Revuel checked his loot though he glared at the goblin coming close to do the same. [color=f7941d]"But it's all Gringor, and none for gobbo."[/color]

[color=ed145b]"I won't even touch you if you pay me, orc."[/color] Skarsneek said as he swiped at the white powder and let it touch his tongue before spatting it to the sides. [color=ed145b]"We're gonna have to let someone else identify what it is, could be some alchemy regents."[/color]

[color=ed145b]"Hey, Shizuka. Our orc here brought something back!"[/color] Skarsneek waved and shouted at their leader when he spotted him as he stood on top of the cart to get his attention. [color=ed145b]"You know what this is?"[/color]

Eitherways, Gringor would go and store it somewhere secluded and far away from the village. He also made sure to keep it dry as well by quickly crafting a crude shelter for the thing.

Later on at night and after refreshing themselves, the two attended the meeting hosted by Takeshi as he explained and outlined that they're now prepared to move into their final operation.

Skarsneek huffed as he crossed his arms, while Gringor grinned at that. It was time for their counter-strike and both could barely wait for it to come.

As they're dismissed, Kerry came and announced Alice return?

[color=ed145b]"Oh, she did? Great!"[/color] Skarsneek said as he looked at Alice while Gringor only tilted to the sides, head tilted and perplexed. Wondering when did the latter left.

Though laying eyes on Alice, the two had a different reaction.

[color=ed145b]"That's Alice? Aren't you a little different?"[/color] Skarsneek said as he observed with his eyes and senses, sure, the weapon and all are the same but the mana was subtly different compared to the Alice he knows.

[color=f7941d]"Is gobbo blind, it's the same scent,"[/color] Gringor commented crudely as his nose picked up the scent, there was a bit of difference but it was all the same.

Skarsneek spun to look at Gringor in disbelief, wondering if the latter eyes are working properly before turning to his wife and sister-in-law to whisper to her. [color=ed145b]"That's a different Alice right?"[/color]

Gringor started to leave as Alice left without much of an acknowledgment to them, which was typical of her and but confirming that it's the same Alice.

Though when Gringor received a flying letter from nowhere, as he snatched it mid-air, he looked at the invitation title. Lots of big words but one part had his undivided attention. 

A surge of pheromones came as Gringor thumbed his fingerprint on the paper hard enough that it crumpled before he tossed it to the sides, all but signing his presence as he tromped to prepare himself for another payback. An orc doesn't back down from a fight, much less a high orc.

For Skarsneek, he too saw the same invitation and showed it to Atsuha. [color=ed145b]"Well, this is a party it but bachelor and bachelorette?"[/color]

[color=ed145b]"Hey, Kerry, who're you getting married to?"[/color] He asked as he waved the invitation to her.
