"Louis," Jael called, his gaze darkening.
"Well since you're waiting, I guess there is no harm in me heading backward for a few minutes. We would have a higher chance of running into them than just waiting out here where a Paler will easily chop off our heads."
Louis started walking away. Somehow Mauve didn't think it was a good idea to separate. She didn't need anyone to tell her they stood a better chance together.
