[ well. things could be worse. He could have flubbed up the whole operation entirely with nothing to show for it. but no, instead, he has a hastily scrawled address on a sheet of paper, and he's making quick to hide in an alleyway a few streets away to call Lapis.

His shoe feels squishy and weird, thanks to getting up to his ankle in mop water, but... it could be worse.

Ring ring, Necromancer calling, Lapis. ]

Hey.
Things didn't go as bad as they could have.
I didn't get the chance to hear much of their plans, but I do think I have a useful address. Maybe it's the guy's source.

I think it's worth checking out, in any case.

...

Before we meet up, I need to stop in somewhere and get me a new pair of shoes. And some socks... So give me a minute to get there.

I was embarrassed, I couldn't help it. Maybe, for once, I. I just wanted to pretend the mission went off perfectly, without a hitch.

[ he ...

...he takes out his phone and snaps a photo of the rat telenovella. He has to. He has to remember this. Even if he should be worried, he has to admit.

It's kind of funny. ]

Let's just hope this doesn't do something insane for the rat population.

If that's all that went wrong though.
I guess we can call this one a 'moderate success'.

I'll take it, honestly.

[ Ah, she can understand why he would want that. Her smile softens, and she reaches over to gently poke a finger in his side. ]

It's okay, really. I don't mind if there's hitches here and there, and we still managed to get what we needed.

[ And sometimes those hitches are fun, like the rat telenovella. So she'll be following his example and taking a picture too... Hopefully this won't cause any further issues around this area, but.

If it's more rat drama it shouldn't be too much of a problem. Hopefully. ]

If it does, it does. For now this is a job well done, we got the potions and the guy is out of commission.

[ And since it's thanks to him they managed to find this place, there's something important she needs to say too; ]

Thank you for your hard work, Jinwoo.

...Is it bad luck to consider this our best success yet?

[ he laughs... a little nervously. Deciding to put his phone away and let the rats have their.

Moments. ]

Haha. Thank you for your hard work.
Let's go turn this in and maybe go somewhere nice for dinner with the prize money?

[crisantemo]

I don't think so. We're both uninjured, your shoes and socks not counting, and we got what we wanted. So it's a pretty great success.

[ Though what happened with the rats shouldn't bite them in the ass later, right? Right.

So she puts her phone away too, his offer pulling another smile from Lapis. ]

I was just the brawn, it was thanks to you that we found the place. [ So yes, she is attributing today's success to him. ]

But I think that sounds like a good way to end the day.
