"A police major? Oh. That's why she was alone; the small-time thugs were running around in pairs."
He was rather surprised that the guard's attention was not focused on the human skull in the bag, but he decided it was better not to delve into that topic.
— Uh-huh, nothing special. — without specifying whether he was referring to the time or the statuette, Garrett initially made such a comment, but he still lingered his gaze on the acquisition.
Nothing special? Of course, the crossbow primarily caught his attention, but the figurine... Well, it was indeed lovely. Eyes the color of blue frost gaze deeply into the soul, and the same hair cascades in soft waves over delicate shoulders. Unusual clothes adorned with intricate floral patterns emphasize her slender figure. Her weapon is an elegant and at the same time impressive Mirai sword, a "katana," which she holds so easily and casually in her hands. She is a warrior, resembling a forgotten heroine from undefined worlds and times... Did she really have a living prototype, or is it pure aesthetics, elevated into a material form by talented hands and a creative mind? For a moment, he even felt the urge to return and ask the master for more details.
— Definitely an 8 out of 10, a very charming image. — he finally said. — A good piece of work; it wouldn't be a shame to decorate a room with it.
The company of the high-ranking guard was tiresome for the rogue, and Garrett was already about to leave, but a curious question was still lingering in his mind.
— May I ask, Major... What name would you give her?
— Snezhana, — she shrugged and answered his question, — goodbye, please stay away from trouble, and if you witness any illegal activities, be sure to report them to the nearest member of the guard.
