Hal didn't find it suspicious that Saeb had a token. He brought Bram, Clea, Neris, and Idris. Cail looked at the familiar faces and saw that Bram looked very healthy. *I guess that injury did nothing to him.*
Saeb didn't say anything. Inside the car was quiet. Hal was the only one familiar with him. As for the others, they had no idea what to talk about with Saeb inside their car.
Typical airhead Neris was watching the scenery pass by with awe. Clea elbowed him. "You look like a bumpkin." *Why are his eyes shining like that?*
Neris looked at him, slight tears in his eyes. "This is freedom." Clearly, he had been very traumatized at the academy, and seeing that he could finally travel unimpeded made him emotional.
"Idiot." Clea had no idea why he was acting overly dramatic.
The two of them were whispering. The atmosphere seemed to loosen after that banter. Idris and Bram also started making small talk. Then it reached a topic that made Cail interested.
