Foolishness returned to the tavern and took a seat next to Deceitful Bloom. Across the table, Boiling Orange and Ashveil were still grumbling about QM Deceitful Bloom. She could help players locate other gods, she could assist in holding the line, even fight gods called by Starsea players, but intervening in player conflicts? That was crossing a line.
Their voices carried a mix of emotions—regret that there hadn't been a fight, relief that things hadn't escalated. After all, if a battle had broken out, Starsea players would have been at a disadvantage. To preserve Starsea's future, some gods would have had to break the rules.
Gradually, the conversation drifted toward the differences between QM Rita and Starsea Rita.
No one could understand how Quiet Mountain had molded QM Rita into such a paradoxical figure. She couldn't fully trust any teammate, yet she cared for Quiet Mountain players.
