When Claire Chapman returned to Bloodfall Base, he was in pretty bad shape.
He returned with the team members who had been stationed in Southreach.
He was injured, and though it was just a minor wound, he was filthy from head to toe. His clothes had been torn in several places by a Mutant Beast, with one gash at the back of his waist that nearly exposed his backside. He was a truly pathetic sight.
However, Marcus Monroe didn't say a word when he saw him. Paige Summers only grumbled, "At your age, you should know how to take care of yourself!" before quickly shooing him off to wash up and rest.
After Claire Chapman left, the team members reported to Marcus Monroe, "It seems he had a disagreement with City Lord Joyce. He was in a foul mood and got reckless on the journey back, insisting on hunting Mutant Beasts..."
As for the reason for the disagreement?
It didn't take long for Marcus Monroe and Paige Summers to figure out what had likely happened.
