Tempting Fate

Ptolema swayed her head backward to avoid Karodin, bowing for forgiveness. The Legionnaire's speed surprised her a little bit. Wasn't this person a Bronze-Rank?

"Tch. It's fine," Ptolema grumbled. 

"The fourth and final seal, Mister Karodin," The green-haired Tactician prompted. "Will you be accompanying us?"

"Yeah! I'm coming!"
