Back in the Ironfist Beast Tamers branch, the scene was one of recovery and repair. Amid the bustling activity, Michael and Gaya approached a tall, tattooed elven young man at the counter.
"Good day," the young man greeted with a polite nod.
"How may I assist you?"
Michael glanced around at the remnants of chaos caused by the eagle bear, then back at the elf.
"Pretty rough day you've had, huh?" he commented casually.
"Yes, indeed," the young man replied with a sigh. "An incident like today's is extremely rare. We're already taking steps to ensure it never happens again."
His eyes then shifted to Vedora perched on Gaya's shoulder. "That's a beautiful creature you have there," he remarked with genuine interest.
Gaya chuckled lightly, "They are as beautiful as they are troublesome."
Ayag hissed softly at Gaya's comment but remained quiet.
