Cut slack? What on earth does that mean? The stranger was met with a blank stare as Naumi tried to process what he was saying. “I don’t know what you mean. If you’re lost, you should go to the castle guard. They can take you to where you want to go.”
This stranger was interrupting her work space— and her mind’s flow— with that curious prodding. It wasn’t unusual for people to come in and do that, but it still bothered her. The Highest commissioned her to work on a golem for battle training, which Naumi was eager to work on, but she couldn’t work with this person in here! “Please, leave, as soon as you can.”
Castle guards, huh… Yeah, well, he saw them but Rail had, of course, chosen against dealing with those guys considering he had the tendency to anger individuals like that. Guards, Protectors, they were all the same– and the only thing they were ever good for was to get in the way of potentially interesting things! Had he actually done that, he wouldn’t of found himself here with such interesting things around here and this lady here… That would’ve been a damn shame.
“I didn’t see any of those guys while I was walking over here, actually. What a shame.” His words seemed to be more to himself than to the female seeming to prefer he left, paying her order no heed as he took his precious time looking around the room, fingertips brushing against things here and there.
