"What do we do now?" Terry asked and everyone looked at Amy. It was as if they had already chosen her as their leader. Cale didn't care, of course. When Hope looked at him, Cale shook his head from side to side.
If the same thing happened, Amy would ask him anyway. If he intervened, the others would object and do their own thing. He couldn't allow that. So he kept silent and let things unfold as before.
"Why don't we ask Raven?"
Amy's voice brought a smile to Cale's lips for a moment. But it disappeared so quickly that Hope wasn't sure if she was seeing it right.
Cale, on the other hand, was relieved that it was going as he had predicted. The time for dungeon leveling was approaching. He had to get the other group members out of there before that happened.
"Me? I thought they had already chosen you as a leader amongst themselves," he said in the same tone as last time, and Amy smiled.
