Kiah made her way to the mechanic's garage. She hadn't seen old man Killan since returning from Fallowmere, it only felt right to visit him. With her plan to grow stronger during this short break before the next mission, she might not get a lot of chances to meet him.
When she pushed the garage door open, the familiar scent of oil and metal greeted her. The whirring of half-finished pods and scattered tools filled the room. Killan and Thorne paused mid-conversation at the intrusion and turned to the door.
Killan's face lit up instantly.
"Kid, you're here!" He exclaimed, clapping his hands together. "You made it!"
"Sir Killan." Kiah smiled back, her chest easing at the sight of him.
Thorne's sharp eyes flicked over her from head to toe before he muttered under his breath, "Barely."
Kiah pretended not to hear him and walked closer. "I came to see you."
Killan gave a pleased nod.
