BUN-323: Afina

It had been a very busy time, a lot of crazy events that Afina had never expected to be a part of. The hazeblooms, the investigation, hanging out with Hops, the stakeout and the surprising arrival of the Envy succubuns. It was like watching a soap opera. Afina had shed quite a few tears, snuffling into her ears, at first dismayed by the bitter start to life Jackal and her friends had been dealt.
