After a few days, the kids were gathered together to learn why Lind had not been seen for a while. Once they learned what happened, the reactions were varied.
Hei and Zao both simply told him to keep working hard and that was it. Miles had hugged him and patted his head which made Lind smile.
Sora did not seem to quite grasp it but she knew her father had been in danger so she simply was glad he was ok. Isolde and Syrilla looked scared but he reassured them he was doing better.
Only when Qing confirmed it, did they believe the words. Lind almost wept! Still, his word was no longer trusted anyway by Qing!
Sally was the one that got the most upset. She had actually scolded him at being so bad he caused trouble for mommy!
He took it as he did deserve it.
Lua was red eyed as she had been told but she could not bring herself to fight him. He hugged her tight and said it was fine. It was not something easy to do or face as a cultivator.
