Fiona turned to Jeanne curiously and wondered why Jeanne was even helping them out. Fiona didn't remember Jeanne ever having a close relationship with Mark before.
"She is my sister."
Pat suddenly spoke up as if he could hear Fiona's thoughts, and Fiona's eyes widened slightly before she nodded calmly. That would explain it.
"Be that as it may, I still don't see a reason to take part in this expedition. After all, Mark is no longer a part of my guild, is he? Don't be surprised that I know about him leaving. He already told me that he was only going to use us till he reached adulthood, and today is his birthday. He is officially an adult and no longer needs to be a part of my guild. Do I still have a reason to help?"
"And how many times has Mark helped you?"
Pat glared up at Fiona, and Fiona glared right back.
I initally intended to make Arit older than Mark and a teacher at Nature Academy since Mark actually has a thing for older women, but after some thought, I figured it would be too dramatic to make her a teacher and went with the current character design.
