The following morning, Clyde met Samuel in front of the Council building.
Samuel frowned when he saw Clyde gesture for him to follow him somewhere. Clyde did not say anything at first. He simply walked toward the side of the building, away from the main entrance and the people passing through the courtyard.
Once they reached a quieter corner, Clyde stopped and turned toward him.
"I'm going on a mission with my friend," Clyde said. "She's the one who came here from our world. So for a while, I don't think I'll be able to stay with your team."
Samuel sighed.
He had expected something like this eventually. From the beginning, Clyde had never behaved like someone who intended to remain attached to a single group. He had his own goals and plans, and Samuel knew better than to ask him to abandon them just to stay with the team.
