Capítulo 87: Test of Strength

Colin cleared his throat, addressing the two in front of him. "Ahem, good job listening. I don't want any of our traps being wasted on two civilians."

Without waiting for a response, he asked succinctly "Who are you two?"

Before Heath could step forward and answer, Macie grabbed his arm and responded with a smile, "Hi there, you must be Colin I presume. My name is Macie, and this is my husband Heath. Your young friend Jayce told us to come to Bastion and find you."

Macie's tone was a pleasant one, instantly garnering the acceptance of others. Despite being polite, her words spoke of a familiarity, subconsciously persuading others to trust her more easily.

Colin's eyes widened at the mention of Jayce's name, "You saw Jayce? Where is he? Is he okay?" in a tone that was laden with anxiety and worry, Colin began to reflexively ask a string of important questions.
