Katharina: <writes> "This is getting ridiculous. Master Peck is even more paranoid about a possible traitor in the guild than Master Coumi was. Maybe this all is just a part of some power struggle or an old feud between the two. Whatever it is, I have to be careful not to get caught up in it."
Katharina: <sighs and thinks> I should have paid more Attention to guild politics in the last years ...
