Life Past The Recordings

Slipping Away

"C-Cale-nim! Are you okay!?"

Choi Han let out a terrified scream as he witnesses his friend succumb to unconsciousness once more whilst slipping away from his grip.

'Shit!'

Prompting the smaller frame more carefully this time, he then watched as the two of them- still being protected inside the orange dome- Is heading to the twinning island which has a stabler grounding than the now 'sinking island'

"My goodness. A whole island got wiped out just like that"

Glenn, who just arrived with a robed figure by his side, gasped at the destruction beyond Schnier's protective camouflage.

The person he was guiding to the rest of the crew insisted to meet them, saying that he's one of Moonlight's people.

That being said, Choi Han recognized this person even though he had changed his hair color and face structure with magic.

"Cal- ah, bob, you're here"

Frozen on his spot upon the slips up, the figure timidly took off his hoodie and stared at the swordmaster before then relaxing slightly as he noticed the difference with the swordmaster just as fast as the other did to him.

Not to mention, this Choi Han just called him with a name that Rok Soo has been associated with too many times.

"Moonlight-nim's?"

That white-haired male asked to make sure, in which Choi Han smiled as his reply before then nodding once, understanding that neither can call out Rok Soo's name. Especially not in front of Bud and Glenn.

Despite all the angst that's been happening lately, Valentino couldn't lie to himself that he's highly impressed every time these Heroes only speak one line at a time and yet understand the whole situation.

People might call it bullshit or staged, but in all honesty, that Crown Prince of Carro Kingdom thinks that it only proved just how close they are that they get what the other meant even though they're practically strangers at this point.

Actually, on that note...

"Mercenary King-nim and Poeff Mage-nim"

Cale in disguise called out.

"White Star's underlings are heading this way to investigate. Do you have any place where we can hide Moonlight-nim for his recovery?"

Naturally, those underlings are actually his own people in Arm. And with his arrival here, there's really nothing to worry about in that department. However, Cale still needs to play his part and make sure that these people would not mess things up.

And to the Anti-Villain's delight, Though the surprise on Bud's face hasn't ceased when he- Bob, asked that, a quick thinker as he is, That Mercenary king snapped himself out of his daze and immediately understood his own role.

"I'll lead you the way..."

It was then when Choi Han handed Rok Soo to Beacrox who went to follow Bud and the rest of the crew while he stayed behind instead.

"Hmm? You're not going with them?"

Cale, somewhat understanding what the swordmaster is doing, did not follow the group either.
