Han approached Ren. "Thanks for all the help and information today," he said. "And for letting us gather these crystals. I had no idea we'd find so many in one day."
Seeing this, Mira also approached. "Thank you. It was much more interesting than I expected," she admitted. "I learned things they hadn't taught us in class."
"It's nothing," Ren responded modestly. "You can come to gather occasionally if you take turns with the others. We don't have enough Bronze ranks to bring everyone with the guards' permission so..."
"Does that mean I can come every day too?" Larissa instantly appeared next to Ren, startling him with her sudden proximity.
"And me," Luna added, though she tried to appear less interested than she actually was, her shadow wolf was shifting restlessly in her shadow.
"I think it's already clear that I'll be coming as well," Liora smiled slightly.
Ren looked at the three cousins, resigned to his fate. "I suppose I don't have a choice, do I?"
