Kalum lowered his head and spoke, "Benefactors, our Forest Demon Clan has committed an ungrateful act. Kalum implores you to forgive the elders. Recently, every day, they have been worrying over the safety of our clan. They are timid, like startled birds."
With a faint smile, Ji Dong replied, "The past is the past, Kalum. You've taken great care of us these past few days — don't demean yourself like this. Even if we really get cast out, I'll still consider you a friend."
"Really?" Kalum exclaimed with sheer joy. He lifted his gaze to meet Ji Dong's, his eyes brimming with exhilaration.
Ji Dong nodded at him and added, "Don't overthink it. You should get going and start preparing as well. The Forest Demon Clan will be migrating soon, and I assume there will be a lot for you to deal with."
