Without so much as a knock or a word of warning, Seraphim, Kingsley, Dale, Reynold Celement, and Spectre all stepped into the room simultaneously. They had been stationed on the same island as Anthony, and naturally, they had sensed the sudden surge of familiar energy signatures, Anthony's and Vega's, just moments ago.
"Where in the world did you two disappear to for an entire week? The Warlords were asking about you. We were called in and questioned!" Dale blurted out almost immediately, his voice echoing through the chamber.
"Hey," Kingsley greeted casually as he shifted his weight, moving with quiet ease before sitting down on the nearby couch without saying another word.
"Wait, Vega," Seraphim interjected with narrowed eyes as she gave Vega a full, exaggerated once-over. "Why does it look like you've gotten even more beautiful?" she asked, half-suspicious, half-intrigued.
Anthony and Vega both sighed softly, the same expression of mild exasperation crossing their faces.
