A small sigh of bemused relief escaped as Pyotr ruffled the girl's hair; she was a pretty handy fighter, although taking her into a [i]real[/i] fight was still a dicey affair. But Yuki's claim to have figured out the combat system through intuition took Pyotr aback. It had taken [i]her[/i] an hour of wheedling it out of an ex-beta tester... She opened her mouth to query this, but was cut off by a male voice nearby. [i]The floor boss..?[/i] Pyotr's eyes widened as she realised the implications; supplying kit to the raid teams and claiming the first trade nodes on the new floor were the main reasons she was here after all. But with YukiHana, could they really join the raid? Would they even allow it?

[b]'I don't know.',[/b] she said guardedly. [b]'It's not as though we would make a big... differ...ence...'[/b] Her voice trailed off slowly as Pyotr looked over to Tsukiya for support. [i]I-is that... drool?[/i] Something was very wrong all of a sudden, as though the heretofore taciturn player had switched personality. In truth, the sheer enthusiasm on display kinda freaked her out. [b]'You... really wanna go, don't you? I guess for the sake of argument, we [i]could[/i] go...'[/b] It wasn't as though attending the meeting was a solid commitment to join in and even if they did fight, Yuki and Pyotr could just hand back and... fight the adds or something..? Casting a sidelong glance at the guy who had called out, she turned to the young girl. [b]'... Opinions, kid? We don't have to go, but...'[/b] [i]But the extra money would be[/i] very [i]nice...[/i]
