Meanwhile, as two figures rushed to cover up the lapses in their wrongdoing, back at the MBE, two sighing children were voicing their grievances.
"Little sprite, how long do you think they'd be gone this time around?"
Orien asked the question without looking up, his attention still fixed on the handheld device in his hands as his little person continued moving on the screen.
Beside him, Liam let out a slow, drawn-out sigh, his body slumped in a way that made it clear he wasn't enjoying the wait either.
"Hopefully, not too long…"
He said it, but even he didn't sound convinced.
Orien's fingers slowed before stopping completely.
"…It's probably going to take a while," he muttered under his breath.
Liam turned his head slightly.
"Why?"
Orien's lips pressed together as if he were debating whether to say it, but then he answered anyway.
"They said something about infiltrating the nest today."
"…Oh."
That was enough.
