Even after a couple of hours, the mood in the camp still was pretty dark. While Jake woke up refreshed thanks to his nap, things there sure looked pretty bothersome.
"What is this?" Jake asked. "Hurry up, Lana. Say something stupid to improve the mood."
"… What do you think I am, a clown?" Lana asked.
"You are not a clown. You are the entire circus," Jakes grinned from ear to ear.
"Why, you little…" Lana clenched her teeth in annoyance.
"There is no need for things to be so dark here," Jake said. "The brat wants to stay, and the two airheads want to make her a part of the group. While I won't like working with someone who put a knife on my neck, this will be necessary for the future."
"You don't mind if I stay?" Karina asked.
"Of course, I will mind. Do I need to repeat myself?" Jake asked. "However, for the future of this party, I will have to compromise here."
