When Gu Ning heard Philinos say he had booked in advance, she froze for a moment, then felt a sharp pang of regret.
"Females get a tenfold discount," Gu Ning said to the calm and unconcerned Little Fairy Bird before her. "You could have just told me you needed to book a room."
Although she wasn't short on money at the moment, she was saving every penny to buy Inhibitors for Cook and Barto.
The Inhibitors provided by her job benefits seemed sufficient, but Cook and Barto's conditions had already degenerated severely. She had to buy any extra Inhibitors money could get. Besides, she couldn't keep asking Alex for his; he needed them too.
She hoped that if Cook and Barto could just make it through the winter, their degeneration would stabilize. Perhaps with better Inhibitors, and by staying far away from Mutant Species and environments like Zone 19 that accelerated a Mixed Breed's decline, there was even a chance to lower their degeneration levels.
