After sipping tea on the sofa for a while, Malin saw a dwarf woman come in; she stood by the door, unfastening her cloak and handing it to the logistics staff passing by.
"Zem, we're back. The scene has been processed for forensic evidence. Where's our new member?"
She didn't notice Malin sitting in the corner on the sofa. Malin took a glance at the dwarf girl and found she was slimmer than any dwarf he had known.
Um... Wait, haven't I seen this dwarf lass somewhere before?
Malin hesitated for a moment, as he really couldn't connect the shadow of the past with her current appearance.
Zem smiled and pointed towards the corner. The lady with the burgundy braided hair then turned her head and finally noticed Malin; the next second, she beamed the most joyful smile, just as she always had.
"Malin, it's been a while." Her voice was still gentle and delicate as before.
Indeed, it's Xingyan from the Anvil family.
