"How much do we have?" Ren finally asked, when his team began reporting they couldn't carry more without compromising mobility.
"The backpacks are at maximum even in the backs of our beasts," the girl responded, adjusting straps that cut into their shoulders under weight. "And your Wolverine..."
"Full too," Ren confirmed, feeling the weight through the bond like phantom pressure. "Good… This should be sufficient for the first trip."
"Sufficient for the first trip?" another laughed, almost hysterically with exhaustion and disbelief mixed. "Ren, this is... this surely is worth more than what most teams gather even if you gave them a full week."
"First place is what we came to get," Ren shrugged as if it wasn't a big deal yet. "The majority doesn't matter, but I know several who will obtain very good quantities too, so we can't be overconfident... Now we have to return and do 2 more trips, way faster than this one."
