Risky actions

"I'm so sorry, young miss. We shouldn't have gone with that awful plan, to begin with."

Ti apologized bowing her head deeply in what seemed like genuine remorse.

"Ah, no, there's no need to apolo... "

...or it would seem like it, if not for the fact that the copper-eyed bodyguard was using the chance to curiously peek at the black-haired elf talking with her friends in the corner.

And Ti did that in such an obvious way that Mika caught her immediately.

"What are you doing...?"

The ashen-haired girl leaned in and whispered confused to the copper-eyed woman.

"...! Nothing much, just... checking on those guys..."

Ti feigned ignorance but in such a way that it could be misunderstood as her keeping an eye on the four new people.

"Oh, that's right. Young miss. You weren't here when we all introduced ourselves. Those are the Dandelions."

Ti cleared her throat and pointed at the four adventurers.
