"... [The Salvagers], you say?"
I mumbled the name as I watched the soldiers.
"You said intellectuals... Does that mean there are more humans out there other than you guys?"
I asked as I glanced at Silver. She also seemed to have picked something up, judging from her raised eyebrow.

Miles said after taking a deep breath. I couldn't help but notice the brief pause he had before saying the word "people".
He was definitely hiding something... But what?
"Anyhow, enough of that. What are you guys going to do?'
Before I could ask him, Miles quickly changed the topic.
Sighing, I decided to move on too... It wouldn't be a great idea to fight with them right now.
"We kind of got lost here. We came from up the river and was hoping to find a good place to establish our base."
"Oh? Why not join us then?"
