Duci had a long Saturday in the office, and despite being tired and sluggish, she somehow ended up at the Red Dragon Inn at the end of it. Finding nearly devoid of life, she was directed downward to the Arena by a patron. Apparently, that was where the life of the party was. She had never seen a duel like this, and she was engrossed in watching Maranya and Aja's duel. It was nice to chat with friends, too.
Toward the end of the event, Aja pointed out that Anubis had mild interest in her. She had not caught what words he directed toward her, but Maranya reinforced her opinion that nothing good could come of it. Maranya suggested she alert Alper to the incident, and she said she would. Since she was already tired, it seemed like a good idea to use that as an excuse to make her getaway while she could.
Returning to her place safely, she immediately phoned Alper after locking up after herself. Fully aware of how late it was, she felt guilty. Nevertheless, she sat down cross legged on her bed, anxiously waiting for Alper to answer.
"Hello?" a groggy Alper answered mid-yawn, still sounding woozy from his alcohol-induced evening.
"Alper" It is Duci."
"Duci" Wh-why're you calling me" It's-It's 4 o'clock in the morning." he groaned.
"I am sorry, but Maranya suggested I let you know what happened. We were down at the Arena and that Slaver, Anubis, apparently set eyes on me," she explained, sounding a little distressed for herself.
Suddenly alert, "What?" Alper asked tersely, wanting to make sure he heard her right. He remembered his last encounter with Anubis and Maranya vividly.
"Exactly."
"Don't...Ugh...Avoid him if you can. I will be back as soon as I possibly can, okay' Just...Try not to be alone at any point. I will tell Xenia to find a suitable bodyguard for you, anlamak?"
"Ja, anlamak." Duci sighed, not liking the urgency in Alper's voice.
"I will call you first thing in the morning. Lock up the place and get some sleep, peki, sevgili?"
"Peki, boss," she murmured before disconnecting.
She pulled off her dress before slipping into bed, clicking the lamp off as she went. Still feeling perturbed about the encounter, she curled up underneath her blankets, eventually drifting into an uneasy, light slumber.
