Han Yu stood still in the quiet corner of the Puppet Peak library, the stack of manuals he had just collected tucked neatly into his storage pouch.
Supervisor Kun had already begun speaking rapidly about delayed tasks and unfinished repairs, his tone carrying the mild irritation of someone who had been inconvenienced by a subordinate's sudden disappearance.
It was not outright anger, but the man clearly expected some form of explanation, if not an apology.
Han Yu knew that if the conversation continued in that direction, it would quickly become troublesome. Supervisor Kun held the position of a junior elder within the Puppet Peak hierarchy.
Technically he was not merely a supervisor but an administrative authority responsible for overseeing the work of puppet artisans.
