Since he couldn't be bothered to go looking for the others in the middle of the town, Ark decided to return back to the house, and wait for them there. They were bound to go back there at some point, and whilst he waited, he could practice a bit on his magic circles. Although that was his original plan, he was surprised to notice that everyone was already back at the house when he arrived.
"Why is everyone back already, did something happen?" He asked as soon as he was back.
"We're just tired, so we decided to rest for a while."
"Oh, let me get you some snacks then."
sry for the wait
