"You're heading into the Nest tomorrow morning, right?" Sha Xue seemed to take a liking to her, striking up a conversation as they walked toward the exit. "Going in at a time like this... are you sure you'll be okay?"
"I'll be fine. Thank you."
Mai Mingle felt a little embarrassed by her concern. "As a Kai Family Hunter, do you still have to work here when you aren't going into the Nest?"
It was a perfectly normal question for a Hunter seeking employment.
"It depends on the needs of the Family Faction. We've been a bit short-staffed lately, and since I was free, I came to help mind the house and assist Tian Xi with the interviewees—oh, he's my squad leader. We Kai Family Hunters are organized into squads."
"So you're going into the Nest tomorrow, too?" Mai Mingle asked, her ears peeled.
