Sofia stuck her tongue out at Gigi's response, continuing to eat.
"Sect Master!"
Just then, a thought seemed to come to Gigi. She walked toward Darryl, biting her lip. "The North Sea Galaxy sent some people over last night. They'd like you to visit them, to meet their sect master."
The North Sea Galaxy?
Darryl frowned. "What for?"
Gigi smiled lightly. "Probably something to do with pill-making, I reckon."
Pill-making?
Darryl could not help but chuckle, pondering to himself. Had the North Sea Galaxy thought they were close? Darryl was the Sect Master of the Pure Yang Division and not of the North Sea Galaxy. What business did he have heading over?
At the thought, Darryl waved his hands and said lightly, "No, I'm not going. Tell the North Sea Galaxy that I'm too busy to go."

Under these circumstances, all Darryl wanted was to remain in the Pill Tower and not go anywhere.
"Sect Master!"
At the response, Gigi tugged at his arm and tried to convince him. "The North Sea Galaxy Sect Master asked to see you himself. It won't be quite right if you don't go."
"You must know that we've always had an alliance with them, and we've always helped each other."
Toward the end, Gigi hesitated slightly before biting her lip and continuing, "Also… also, my Master told me to go with you. What am I going to say to him if you turn me down?"

At the sight of her, Darryl had no choice but to nod with a pained smile. "Alright, then. I'll go with you."
Wonderful!
Seeing him agree filled Gigi with glee as she smiled and nodded. "Alright, then. I'll wait for you at the main entrance then." She then made her way out quickly.
