บท 82: Fishing for Information

Exile immediately jumped backwards, drawing his axe and shield in the process. His eyes narrowed on the woman before him with suspicion as he prepared himself for a fight.

Beans frowned at the hostility in Exile's voice as she looked at him. They had not seen each other since Donna and she had fled from Kaleidoscope, leaving Exile behind to buy themselves time. She let out a sigh as she realised that he was angry about it. She could understand that he felt betrayed by their actions. 

"Listen... About leaving you behind... I felt terrible doing it. But Donna was my friend. And I didn't want to die. Not after everything we worked for...." Beans sighed as she hung her head in shame. "Not that it mattered. Kaleidoscope caught us and killed me anyway."
