[Anton's P.O.V]
After we filled our stomachs with food that barely attracted anyone's attention, we began to discuss our next few days in low voices.
Regarding the suspicions about Jesse, of course, they couldn't be completely dispelled. However, for the time being, everyone could maintain a superficial and friendly relationship, and our attitude towards him depended on his attitude towards us.
At this moment, a scent appeared in the air. I sniffed and said, "Come out."
It was my long-unseen shadow guards. Since I sent them to investigate the center of the forest, they seemed to have disappeared. In this relatively open cave, our previous methods of communication weren't very applicable, so I came up with the method of identifying them by scent.
Now, all the shadow guards were kneeling in front of me. Kirk had become accustomed to this scene and sat casually beside me, watching calmly.
"Tell me what you've seen," I scanned them with my eyes.
