Riyeko/Loch | 5:00PM | Near the university of St. Iocus | COMPLETE
For a couple of seconds, Loch regarded the other machinist. Hard to believe that someone who had developed such a complicated design all by herself hadn't thought of something as simple as hiring testers. Either she couldn't afford it, or she had some sort of noble reason in mind.
In the end, though, it mattered to Loch not one bit if Riyeko took a bad fall and snapped her neck. The only thing they had in common was the guild, and in the guild were dozens upon dozens of machinists Loch had never even met, just as insignificant. Whether they lived or got themselves killed, it made no difference to her.
"Well, you're free to do what you like." She took another drag from her cigarette and blew out a coil of smoke. The corners of her mouth were turned up in a smirk. "Just a suggestion. Try not to get killed before you make it home, hmmm?"
Her curiosity sated, the encounter held no further interest for her. With a desultory wave at the other woman, Loch turned and walked away.
