"Did you find her?" Kael asked the moment he sensed Zen enter the cave as he stood, staring at the batch of still-alive rogues Zen had dragged in.
Zen nodded once, brushing blood from his sleeve. "Yes. It was what delayed me. They did not encounter any rogues on their way to the Redwood territory though. So, your fear was for nothing.
Kael's hand twitched at that as his fingers curled into a fist before he relaxed them again.
Zen saw it and let out a quiet sigh. He had not expected that Emira would do something so foolish as to defy Kael's orders. Here they were, trying to find out the truth about everything while she was off creating trouble again, holding hands with that Cassian and going towards the Redwood Territory.
Zen stepped aside and gestured toward the unconscious rogues sprawled across the cold floor. "She is safe. That should matter to you first. Now, can we proceed with this investigation first?"
