Kael knew she might take some time in her mission, so he went back and met his friends at the base of the mountains, where they had already begun to set up a camp according to his instructions.

Kael chuckled, seeing her fierce look, which looked more cute than anything else to him, and turned towards Seth, who was watching everything silently.
He raised an eyebrow and asked, "What happened to you?"
