[Guild][Ialdir]: But I need to go to bed before my husband divorces me

[Guild][Solace]: Night night

[Guild][Sindarella]: nn

[Guild][Heurodis]: anyone for a hc?

Drew checked the clock on his minimap. It was just eleven, so there’d be time, but he wasn’t completely sure he wanted to.

[Guild][Dave]: mums turning the internet off

[Guild][Dave]:?

[Guild][Dave]:?

[Guild][Sindarella]: me and Helen can come11

[Guild][Sindarella]: I can storm tank it lol

[Guild][Ignatius]: I’m not healing you in storm

[Guild][Heurodis]: lol

Drew realised he was alone in an empty torture chamber. He wondered if Solace would come with them if he went on theheroic, but maybe she’d gone fishing, and by the time he was done, she might have logged off.

He stared for a while at the guild roster, and the little line that read,Solace: Online.

Would it be weird to just ask her if she wanted to hang out?

What if it was weird? What if she said no?

To [Solace]: you fishing?

[Solace] whispers: Yes

[Solace] whispers: It helps me wind down after a raid

There was the text-based equivalent of an awkward silence.

[Solace] whispers: You can come join me if you like

[Solace] whispers: you don’t have to

[Solace] whispers: if you dont want to

To [Solace]: omw

[Solace] whispers:??

Solace has invited you to join a group: y/n

Solace is now group leader.

Drew activated his bindstone, then hopped a skyship across continents and flew south to Alarion. He flapped over the ruins looking for Solace, and found her on the same bit of fallen temple. She was sitting on the edge in her battered fishing hat, her line arcing into the purple-blue water.

Ella took off her helmet and plopped down next to her.

[Group][Orcarella]: good run tonight
