Before leaving, the spies stood in front of Althea, who was watching in silence at the side with her husband as well as the other elders.
It was very low-key, of course, in case they were being watched. They were outside the territory early in the morning, saying their goodbyes and making sure everything was as ready with them as it could be.
The four people were honored by the send-off by the elders. At the same time, they also felt pressured to do their jobs perfectly.
Other than the elders, the four were also sent off by friends and family.
In Amos' case, it was his guard friends Jesse and Angelo, with no sign of his mother and brother. Of course, he didn't tell them what the mission was, but he did tell them that he was going to go somewhere on behalf of the territory.
They frowned when he said this, but—unsurprisingly—there were words of concern, no 'be careful' or no 'eat well while you're away' like everyone else probably received.
