"Awhh... pity," Rael said with a sigh, stealing a glance at Elise. "Looks like your momma doesn't want you to eat sweets, even inside a game, eh? Tsk tsk... how strict."
Before Milf_GattlingGun could throw a punch at Rael's face, Karina stepped forward, taking the candy cane from his hands.
"I-I'll hold onto it. I promise I'll sneak this over to Elise once Mari—uh, Milf_GattlingGun isn't looking."
He nodded in satisfaction, then raised his hand.
"You may leave for the time being. Come back after you've finished the quest. Understood?" Rael stated.
Almost like magic, the players didn't retaliate in the slightest before walking away.
He was puzzled for a moment, until he realized why they were so obedient.
Hmm... neat, Rael thought, turning to Zafira, who tapped the throne's armrest patiently.
She was still mad about that time he had died and come back.
