The patrol turned around and ran towards the head hunter's tent
Five days had passed since Daniel's lastto anyone, at least until he put so in his stomach He made his way across the base camp's quiet streets, and reached the tavern in just a few minutes
In front of the head hunter's tent, the patrol was standing politely ”Sir, there are news about the kid you've sent us to look for”
The tent opened immediately, and inside it, a bare chested e, ell defined muscles, and a few deep scars which e man's body was a bed, above which, a naked and flushed woe man, was the head hunter Kier

”No sir he came back on his own” Responded the patrol aardly He then composed himself and added ”He asked if the tavern was open he should be headed there”
The head hunter grabbed a shi+rt from above his dresser, and put it on messily He then left his tent and headed towards the tavern
