Fourth Shot

[tank_sniper]

[Shockingly enough, Shinon is not in a dungeon or field for once! Rather, she's sitting for a break in the Warp Gate room in Mac Anu, her beloved Hécate II propped up beside her. She's also... incredibly zoned out. To the point where she probably won't notice other characters unless they actually come up to her and call out to get her attention. By the looks of it, she's fairly worn out despite it only being the afternoon.

The people most close to her (particularly guildmates) are free to note that not only has she not been around the @Home much lately, but she also seems to have lost a level somehow.

Somebody's been pushing herself a tad too much as of late...]

[She blinks a few times before she fully registers him.]

...Oh. Ryusei.

It's... not really important.

[minetodecide]

Uhuh.

[He takes out his relic and after a few clicks, he opens his friends page. He sits down next to her.

You lost a level over something that's "not important", is that what you're telling me? Do you expect me to believe that?

[She raises her voice slightly in her agitation, which is especially odd since she's usually good about keeping her cool.]

So I made a mistake and bit off more than I can chew. Even I mess up sometimes.

[minetodecide]

Yeah, but to mess up like this?

[He tucks the relic away in an attempt to not agitate her anymore]

What happened? Why didn't you call for back up?

[tank_sniper]

I was in the middle of a boss fight. It's not like I could just pause and send a message for help.
