Kyle looked to the side for a while as he fell into thought.
"You know, for the past seven months, I've had a feeling," Kyle said. "I don't feel like I've done anything ever since I got here."
"I just listen to the Crown Prince, say okay, and forward his message. I didn't make any decisions, broker any deals, or solve any conflicts. In fact, I even caused conflicts."
"Why am I even here?" Kyle asked.
"Not to step over the line," Shore said, "but, to a certain extent, you are correct. You have not used your position's power to bring advantages to your Guild."
Kyle nodded. "Yep, that's what I've thought. But then, why was I chosen by the Chief? He knows that my negotiation tactic is very direct. I like a take it or leave it approach."
"So, why did he choose me? Why am I here?" Kyle asked.
Shore looked at Kyle with a raised brow. "Because you-"
"That was a rhetorical question," Kyle interjected.
Shore's left eyelid twitched a bit.
