Chapter 573: Relaxing Hunt (1)

The colorful patterns projected onto the elaborate mosaic floor by the morning light in the guild hall resulted from the light shining through the stained glass windows of the building. After entering, Erik didn't have to look very hard to find Mira; he found her right away. She was already there, her sharp eyes sweeping the bustling hall, and when they landed on Erik, they lit up in recognition. She knew immediately that he was the person she was looking for.

"Morning," she greeted him with a grin, her usual spirited energy evident.

"Morning to you, too," Erik replied warmly, closing the distance between them. "Did you mention to your comrades about our hunt today?"

Mira shrugged lightly, her dark braid swinging over her shoulder. "I did. I told them I'd be accompanying you. They seemed to be in the mood for a day off anyway, so no objections there."
