[PT] [PP-F16] Seaside Vacation (For Real This Time) <<SotW: Fighting Fish>>

[Pollux 0]

A rare peaceful day at the Trackers HQ. Yue Hua was on a walk, eyes half-closed and basking in the slowness of it, when she heard echoes of activity from a nearby room. The sound of a heavy impact, one after another after another. She strolled over to the door, curious.

Light slanted in from the training room’s tall arched windows. Everything was vibrant, stirring Yue Hua from her indolent mood. At the center of the hall, Morningstar was in a stance in front of a punching bag, his fists covered in boxing gloves. Yue Hua watched him strike the bag, sending it swinging backwards on its chain, then adjust his angle to meet it with another powerful strike upon its return.

He was deep into his routine. Quietly, Yue Hua settled against a wall in his periphery, painted hands tucked between her back and the wall. She waited until he finished, and when she greeted him in the thereafter, she had shrugged her coat onto her thin shoulders, uncomfortably aware.

There were some things her potions couldn’t fix.

“Leader,” she started joyfully. “Might I suggest taking down a real target instead?” Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge. Her tail wagged in anticipation. Through neither of their faults, it had been too long since they made any progress on the tablet quest line. Floor 29 had overloaded the Trackers’ leader, and one of its most active members, with work. “T’would be wise to have the rewarded buffs for the impending boss fight. As much as we have on our plate at current, we also need to step back, re-examine ourselves, and ensure that we are better equipped to deal with this floor’s unique threats.”
