章節 109: The Reward

{Raven} 

Raven stood outside Javir's office, her hand hovering over the doorknob. Her mind raced with possibilities, each more unlikely than the last.

[What could she want?] Raven wondered, her brow furrowing slightly. [I take it that this is about the gala?] 

She shook her head, pushing the thoughts aside.

[No use speculating. Might as well just go in and find out.]

With a deep breath, Raven straightened her shirt one last time and pushed the door open.

Professor Folden was sitting behind her desk, a couple of notes and a map of Syux laid out before her.

A map Raven had scribbled on a bit, a while ago.

Javir looked up, a small smile playing on her lips as Raven entered.

"Ah, Raven. Right on time. Please, have a seat."

Raven nodded, settling into the chair across from Javir. She kept her posture straight, her face carefully neutral.

"You wanted to see me, Professor?"
