"Oh no… FUCK."

Aaryn whirled, looking for a threat, but finding nothing, stared at her, a question in his eyes.

"I completely forgot… I can't believe I forgot!" she hissed.

Aaryn frowned. "There's been a bit going on, El. What's the problem?"

"Hannah! And Marryk! We just… left them!"

Aaryn slumped a little, relieved. "You didn't leave them. You had Gar bring them back to the Tree City. They're here. They're just in hiding."
