What a pain...
Ever since this infernal moon pollen had fallen, jobs had been pouring in like a black tsunami. Theo didn't mind the general darkness outside. It was comforting somehow, like being wrapped in a blanket. He was so comforted in general that he hardly wanted to leave his abode, which he'd redecorated to suit his new dark and subdued style. A modest bed, a fireplace with a large bookshelf, a couple comfy reading chairs. Everything was nice and gray, black, and purple. Even his wardrobe matched, as he was currently in a plum dress shirt buttoned to his neck and perfectly pressed slacks of ebony. The shiny shoes on his feet were fancy and so clean they could be eaten off of. It was only at all the noise and pleading of the townsfolk and guild mates that he left this comfort and his good book to try and ease the panic out of obligation.
It seemed the most urgent flyer with a high ranking attached to it was in Capital Crocus. The royal family's panties were in a bunch over some strange creatures that had accosted them on a luxurious garden walk. It had been a small orange creature, but other residents had complained of nastier beasties in the streets and forests beyond the main hub, and were afraid they'd draw closer. Rune Knights had gone and never returned, which was expected. What good for Rune Knights for, really, other than to go die before mages were called in to do the real work. It was a pain. All of it.
Theo had read the entire train ride, having brought his normal bag but instead of his normal survival necessities there were books to occupy his mind. Not many words passed his lips, nor did he seem interested in anything outside the windows. He'd all but ignored Rin until they reached the area indicated on the job paper. That's when he broke his bothered silence. "I suppose we should have some sort of strategy. Drathir seems to think extensive planning is needed beforehand, else we'll meet our demise."
