Brimful Depravation

The harsh words immediately affect Etzchielle, excusing herself "I am not like others!, I don't do it on purpose!, it happens when I am with Khallyon!.

""Ignore her Tzelle / Ryenelle""; Say Naíndra and Khallyon simultaneously ""The Natural Charm only control those who have a Weak Mind"".

{And I am sure that I can't get impeded by any type of altered state, like being drunk; Because if I understood correctly, as a Nourishneer, I cannot be adulterated in any way, otherwise my fluids would be inconsequential, rendering completely useless my Work, and that is not possible}

Khallyon extracts the Shard Trait of "Essence Swallower" and gives it to Etzchielle, likewise, he gives the Shard Trait of "Dark Presence" to Vannettzza "I will compensate you f"…

"There is no need for that Vannettzza, you are the Punchline, and we are in the same Exploration Group for the rest of the year so"…

The same Haughty Lady laughs with mockery and Khallyon stance turns stoic "I don't see anyone else laughing, Care to explain the Joke Bratty Bitch?".

The snorting of the Haughty Lady cease, looking menacingly at the Young Man "Is what you say, Stupid Snob, this Exploration Groups in which we are, are not for the entire year; They simply are the consequence of the Imperishable Monoliths having the Ten For Teammate situation".

{Perhaps this is what makes Londra uncomfortable, since we are not really her Cadets}

"I don't see the relevance Bratty Bitch".

"I agree"; Reply Vannettzza "Khallyon is a good teammate, even if the Exploration Group is disbanded, I would join the same Team as him, or ask for a transference".

The Haughty Lady snorts "Drinking too much blood is bad for your health Lamprey, don't be a Brainless Gold Digger, Credits are meaningless in a fight"…

"Tell that to a Mercenary If you have the ovaries to do so Bratty Bitch"; Intervenes Khallyon; He was hired once as a mercenary, unfortunately, and with that, he learned an invaluable lesson, as he had to fight and Take Down several of those who were supposed to be his allies; Since they changed sides in the middle of the conflict when they were offered a better payment.

"P-Please, There is no need to argue and insult each other"; Say the Scaled Lady with a bit of panic, and the Exhibitionist Lady has the same way of thought.

"Hiamech is on point, we came here to do businesses and have a nice conversation; In the name of the Mäwller Family, Let me apologize on behalf of my Step Sister"…

The Exhibitionist Lady does a half reverence, while the Haughty Lady is even more furious than before, but simultaneously, she has a dim satisfied smirk, that doesn't go unnoticed by Naíndra and Khallyon.

"I, Etzchielle Sulltryen, accept your apology in the name of the Gygxz'Kander Family".

Seeing civility in most of the newcomers, and the good will of Etzchielle, even when she was the one who got insulted.

Khallyon ponders if accept or not, observing Vannettzza, who nods her head letting pass the situation on this occasion, only then, the Young Man proceeds.

"I, Khallyon Cravemeneer, accept your apology in the name of the Rwöllmör Family".

Silence remains in the lounge for a few moments; The Families that Etzchielle and Khallyon are part of, have Global Renown, so much, that a baby can pronounce those Surnames before saying "Mom", and the Mother would be proud to a no end if that happens.

"Khallyon"; Calls Vannettzza, raising her voice to break the tense atmosphere "Is not as good as what you give me, being only 4 Novas of Rarity, but if you want, you can give it to Etzchielle, my Trait Shard of Essence Inhaler would be more suitable for her".

Khallyon pick up the offered Shard with his right hand "Do you want it Ryenelle?"; Etzchielle nods enthusiastically "Yes please, I gladly accept the gift Khallyon, and thanks for you too Vannett!, I really appreciate this!".

{Vannett?, Looks like Ryenelle learn from Naíndra to put Nicknames on others, I do the same, but usually is because I am angered, or they are basically mandatory}

Vannettzza extend her left arm, saying her full name and designation as Cadet VVVV-77 while showing her Inventory which is almost empty.

{How strange, I can see the percentages of these objects are "-89%" for the Ribbon and "-40%" for the Ring; This is nuts!, Shouldn't I be more compatible with these Items, Or this results are because I can already do better of what they can offer?}

Hiamech, the Scaled Lady is immediately interested, her eyes sparkling with the glow of Åyûrïc Energy "This Artifacts are decent, Why haven't you put them in your Equipment, Miss Vannettzza?".

"They are not useful for me, The Ribbon gives Plus One Insta Cast Node and allow the user to manipulate up to 10 Åyûrïc Nodes, I already can do that; The Ring is a bit complicated, with my Attributes, is more than detrimental".

"I understand Miss Vannettzza, I am interested in the Ribbon"; Say the Scaled Lady, mentioning her full name "Hiamech Sianaiddler" along her designation as Cadet PUSH-47, showing the Fake Tattoos in her left forearm.

"Miss Vannettzza, is something in my Shards I can trade with you for the Node Ribbon?".

"I don't think so, the Dagger could be good, but, Mimetic would imitate my own Attributes, not what I want or need to deal with Darklings".

Hiamech is a bit downcasted, anyone with one eye could see how much she wants the Item, and Naíndra is not the exception "What do you think of the Gladius Netza Vannettzza?".

"Is really bad for me, it says -650% in Compatibility".

Naindra looks serious, and reveals what is on her mind "Not for you Netza, remember, tomorrow we will be heading into the Forest, that means Graveyards, Bright Attribute could come in handy, and Ethreus is a Gladiator"…
