The night had... not been particularly restful. And when Shiyuan tried and failed to shake the dampness out of his coat, he decided a solo expedition might be the best solution to get out of this terrible mood. He simply needed to go and be alone with the ruins for some time, like old times. And so he set off further down into the darkness. He was well adapted to this place, and knew to navigate using his other senses when things got too dark. Using the echoes of the walls, the faintes...

Shiyuan most definitely had enough when the two shapes gained more form. A head, four legs. And before the shapes had even fully developed and risen from the water, he decided he wanted none of it.

The whole ordeal had left them battered and embarrassed. After Logue left to return to the guild, Shiyuan had more than a few choice words to say about him. "That guy was completely useless!"
