Warmth, was the first thing he was grateful about going through the portal, then he heard something about a teammate being gravely injured, it was Jacklo from what he understood, but luckily he survived. Max’s bottle was a good way to cheer up the mood, the mission was a success even if the kid died. Azai saw a new member that was with the combat team, Cassandra was her name but he could feel a dark vibe from her, like the manipulative vibe, he always tried to keep his distance from such women for many reasons…

Azai raised his glass with others, finished his drink quickly and went to his desk for his real delight, ignoring any kind of socializing. It was something that no one knew about him, he was interested in magic induced herbs, he had a dealer that he knew for a long time who provided him with these herbs. His real reason for taking such things was lost a long time ago, and it was now purely for the high of it. In his desk there was one herb that he hid in a secret compartment in his drawer, he grabbed the leaf and rolled it to fit in his mouth and swallowed it. Its effect was immediate, it didn’t have the normal symptoms that made one unable to interact with his surroundings, but it gave him a rush in his brain uplifting his mood and his brain energy, taking off his mind of any type of negative emotions that he went through and just focusing on his job or anything else…

He sat on his chair, gazing through his window thinking and waiting to for the debriefing or to hear something about Jacklo’s condition he wanted to make sure he was okay, he really cared about him..
