Lukas blinked, caught off guard by the question.
Karrakas laughed at his face. "What? It's a fair question. I've been working with you for weeks now."
"And in front of me, we have a necromancer who likes fighting melee, a hexblade who loves cars way too much, and you." He gestured vaguely at Lukas. "Whatever exactly you are. You're all so... unique. Individually and together. I've been wondering how three people like you found each other in the first place."
There was a moment of quiet, then Melody laughed.
"Ironically," she said, "Lukas found us. Both of us."
Karrakas frowned. "What do you mean, found you?"
"He sought us out." Melody rested her chin on her hand, a small smile on her face. "Though I suppose in my case it was a mix of coincidence and effort."
"I'd just come out of a dungeon run, back when I was still an Awakener. It had gone badly. I was injured, alone, and not in a good position." She tilted her head towards Lukas. "And he saved me. That's how it started."
