Ciara huffed as she said, "I am not."

Ciara blushed before she spoke, "You are right in one aspect. They should have been here hours ago."
"Most of the convey is already here, and what is so important about that stupid repeater, and why is he so late?"
Xuelong bit her lips as she spoke, "Micha, if he does not return within the next fifteen minutes, we are leaving to search for him."
Michalina nodded as she agreed, "Yes, we will, and I hope Ylerias is well as well."
