章 577: Ashobel Problem

"Temperature good enough?" Hyai left the water running and pulled one of the bathroom stools closer before sitting down. The new houseguest had regained consciousness but was suffering from the lingering effects of exposure.

"T-Thank you." Emi's teeth chattered when she spoke; although she was fully healed, there was a deep-seated chill in her bones.

"Don't worry about it, Hun." Hyai pushed a strand of light red hair back behind her ear. "Alpha team is going back in; any intel you could share before they leave could prove very helpful."

Emi slid down in the water until she was fully submerged before sitting up a moment later and slicking back her hair with both hands. "I thought I'd never feel warm again."

Hyai waited patiently. From what Nix had told her, Emi was one of the hardened veterans from the Bone Fortress, someone with a lot of combat experience. He expected that she would bounce back quickly.
