Jin, Mia, Ken, and Akito quickly packed everything they came with, hoping they wouldn't be too late for the meeting in the Capital City.
They did not know the nature of the meeting, aside from the fact that it was urgent (given the unique ringing pattern of the bell of the Kristos Basilica), but if they did, they would know how soon they would have to arrive at the capital before it got too late.
"Goodbye, old lady," Mia said as she threw her sack load on her back.
The old lady nodded with a faint smile and then looked at her son, who immediately looked away with a frown on his face.
Jin bowed respectfully toward her, "Thank you for tending to our wounds, Old Lady—we are grateful."
She chuckled, saying, "Please. I just did what you would have done in my place. "And for the record, my name is..."
Mia's voice interrupted the conversation, "Come on guys, we need to get moving, or we'll be late!"
