Evelyn reunited with her companions and the six of them headed back to Maeve's residence.
Luckily, they had all left quickly enough that no one had tried to stop them, so they made it back without any delays.
As soon as they were through the doors and safe from any potential eavesdropping, Aralee said, "Sister, that last bit at the end was not planned. Was it really necessary for you to go out of your way to make more enemies? What are you going to do if more challenges come in and keep you too busy to help the rest of us?
It was clear that Aralee was not happy that Evelyn had gone a bit off script.
Truthfully, she had not planned on making such an antagonistic declaration, but being meddled with by outside magic during the duel had pissed her off a bit and she had lost her temper.
Still, she had at least considered the repercussions a little and believed that her actions and words would not end up being a detainment to their mission.
