The captain and his soldiers were first to leave, though they did have lunch before leaving. Then it was Jason's turn to leave, while June left the next morning. In the morning session, he evaluated everyone's progress and gave them all the praise and rewards they needed to finally turn towards returning to the front lines.
Gale intended to return with the rest of the adepts, but Jenni begged him to go with her to Myrin City, where she would be meeting her father's friend to call off her marriage. He didn't understand what his place was in her matter, but considering how much he was involved already, he agreed, thinking it would only take a couple of hours with fast teleportation.
It had been a nerve-wracking issue for Jenni for years; she needed someone to reassure her. If not him, perhaps Dawn could fulfil the role.
So, while the adepts took the route to the front lines, Jenni, Dawn, and Gale teleported directly to Myrin.
