The loud sound of breaking earth. From above, right into the cramped, dim bunker, Moddy falls, his elytra wings nearly brushing against the torches on the walls. The dust settles. Around him stand Sekbi, Just, and Catherine, who were just loudly arguing and trying to sell Runik. Slightly to the side, leaning against the wall, Alfedov stands and silently observes the chaos.

Alfedov stands calmly in the corner of the cramped, dim bunker beneath Upper-Verstansk. The usual chaos reigns around him: Just, Catherine, and Sekbi are arguing loudly, attempting to sell Runik. Suddenly, a crash of breaking earth echoes from above, and right in the middle of the room, nearly hitting Alfedov with his elytra wings, Moddy falls. As the dust settles, the group immediately switches their attention to him, begging him to buy Runik. Moddy grimaces, waves them off, and then his gaze falls directly on Alfedov. A sly smirk appears on Moddy's face.—
I don't need your Runik!
— Moddy declares, taking a step toward Alfedov and pulling out diamonds. —

But Alfedov, I think I'll take. By force. He's mine now!

Sekbi's eyes widen at such audacity; he immediately flies over to Moddy and begins waving his arms frantically, shielding Alfedov with his back:—

What do you mean, Alfedov?! Moddy, have you gone mad? He's not for sale! Give up on him, give him back! Buy Runik, look how good Runik is, take him!

— Sekbi literally shoves Runik forward by force, while Just and Catherine in the background are cracking up at the whole scene.Moddy simply arrogantly pushes Sekbi aside, his eyes locked on Alfedov as he holds out the payment for the "purchase." Everyone looks at Alfedov expectantly.
