I frowned, tapping my fingers on the table to feign shock, though my mind raced with the real stakes. "So, the pendant's still missing, and now we've got two Rogues involved? That's not good," I said, injecting just enough concern to sound natural.
Edge nodded in agreement, his expression turning serious. "If those Rogues are after it too, it means it's powerful enough to draw that kind of heat."
Christian's lighthearted comment broke the tension, his chuckle cutting through like a breath of fresh air. "Why are you guys so serious?" he grinned, leaning back casually. "It's not like it's your fault the pendant got stolen. Let the authorities handle it." His easygoing vibe was contagious, pulling the group out of the gloom.
Whitney rolled her eyes with a smile. "I suppose you're right. No point in stressing over something that's out of our hands."
