Unable to believe her ears, Kary exploded at Alex.
"You promised him what now?!"
Alex winced at her scream.
"It's not that bad," he tried reassuring her.
"What do you mean, 'It's not that bad?!' Do you even realize what that entails?!" she shouted as they ran.
"No need to shout at me, Kary. It's not like they'll imprison me for it. We just smuggled ourselves into the country to deal with a problem. At worst, they'll slap me with a fine," he said, trying to play it off.
Kary was half-tempted to bury his face into the ground with a slap to the back of his head, but she reigned in her murderous intent.
"I swear to God, for all of your combat smarts, you are the dumbest person that I know, at times," she swore.
"Hey!" Alex whined.
In their ears, Kujaku interrupted their quarrel.
