121 Interlude: Marai (2 of 2)
Eli waved her to sit wherever.
Slightly awkwardly, Marai glanced around the familiar apartment. She and Eli were not the kind of acquaintances that were comfortable around each other.
She could see it by the slight frown on his face that she was certain mirrored hers.
He asked, "Something to drink?"
"No thanks."
She spied the Redlands forums open on the glass monitor.
"What are you doing?"
He side-eyed her for a long moment. Rude. "I thought I had an idea. But it fell through."
She boosted himself onto a kitchen stool. "You been playing Redlands, right? This month? I can point you to a few questlines."
He'd taken care of her cousin this last week. Uneasy or not, she owed him.
"I mostly take monster quests."
"Oh. I…don't know any questlines involving monsters."
He smiled at her. "That's alright."
