“Huuuuuuuuuuuh…” Xavi isn’t convinced.
“It’ll be <span class="mu-i">sushi</span>.” You wiggle your eyebrows faster! “You have stuff for sushi?”
“I do, but I don’t know <span class="mu-i">why</span>…” Xavi stares at his feet. Probably has to do with Naiad.
“Please, Xavi, <span class="mu-i">it’ll be my last meal</span>.” The hostage begs.
“…For now!” Rooke swings his arm with enthusiasm once again.
“Ah, gosh darn it! I can’t say <span class="mu-i">no</span> to those empty eyes.” Xavi unfastens the bolt. “Come in, guys!”
“Thanks, bud.” Rooke walks in first.
“I appreciate this.” The hostage hops behind the wall of a man.
“I knew I could count on you, Xavi.” You express your gratitude. As soon as you step over, you recall an important detail. “Ah, by the way, Rooke has a flame.”
“W-Why didn’t you start with that?!” Xavi is in utter disbelief.
“It’s fine, Xavi. I just beat him.” You tell the little man to relax.
“W-Well, congrats.” Xavi doesn’t like this rollercoaster of emotions.
“I’ll be in the kitchen. Just call me over if you need anything.” You walk in deeper into the apartment.
“Sure…” Xavi didn’t expect to be a host today.
It has a darker new coat of paint compared to the others. Xavi has your standard male apartment equipment. It has a nice soft carpet. There are two bookshelves full of books from a myriad of genres, and a lot of music albums. Explains why there’s an expensive-looking sound system. There are house plants roped together vertically. No couch though. Pathetic.
You should focus on the meal instead…
