Losing thousands of mora in a span of minutes was a feat Wanderer would never expect anyone to ever achieve, but Kaveh proved him otherwise. The man had a knack for falling for the most absurd (and obvious) scams to exist— it was nothing new really, yet it never failed to surprise him. He never knew someone would be so reckless to impulsively gamble their money on things you're not even guaranteed to get, but their money, their business, I guess.

The anemo-bearer eyed the stumped Kaveh who hid his face in the dirt out of shame. Mehrak was laid on the ground beside him, the robot eyeing its sulking owner in mild concern.

"All that pulls just for you to not get anything. You're technically pouring money down the drain." Wanderer remarked amusingly.

"Please shut up." Kaveh groaned, "can you at least give me five minutes to wallow in my misery."

"Oh, don't get me wrong. I am sooo pitying you right now." Wanderer mockingly patted Kaveh's head like a man would its dog. "I mean, you've spent all your money. What are you gonna eat tonight?"

"I don't know. Maybe I'll just go on a key-toe diet and stuff my face with nuts like a squirrel."

" Keto diet."

"Whatever. Same thing."

Kaveh swatted Wanderer's hands away and Wanderer snickered at the blondie's messy hair. The sulking scholar stood up and dusted himself off, grabbing Mehrak delicately off the floor before making sure there were no scratches on his companion. He glared at the root of his problems: a desert fox plushie innocently encased in a boxed glass, perched on a colorfully painted metal. It was filled with a different array of stuffed animals.

" Ugh ! Nobody told me how hard it'd be to get a stupid toy from this stupid claw machine."

"I did tell you, but you chose to ignore me and continued to fawn over it, claiming it was 'the cutest animal to ever exist' and that you needed to get your hands on it."

"That was the me from a few minutes ago."

"Yeah. Because a person like you would change in a span of a few minutes."

Wanderer feigned to ponder about something before smiling notoriously. "What do you think your roommate has to say once he finds out you spent all your money on a scammy gacha machine." Toying with Kaveh was a newfound sport Wanderer actively partook in. He considered himself a Division 1 Kaveh bully (alongside Al Haitham, one of the main team players, of course). Not a lot of people enjoy the sport, but those who do are extremely good at it.

" Please , don't ." Kaveh felt a migraine coming his way, "he already has enough dirt on me. The only thing I have against him is that he made me wash his nasty, stiff socks when I lost a bet."

" He what —"

"Excuse me." A voice pulled Wanderer away from his stupefied stare. Kaveh just grinned at him cheekily before facing the person behind them.

Wanderer was quick to regain composure. He faced the newcomer while sporting a practiced, professional smile. "Do you have business with us?"

The person had silver-hair styled in a twisty ponytail. They donned dark techwear clothing with neon highlights. There was a game console attached to the white belt on their hip. Wanderer inferred that they looked like the otaku version of Bubbles from Powerpuff Girls Z.
