The kitchen was closed for the day as Tanya was recovering in bed. Raven and his companions–even Aria who'd been bruised up from Helga's training had gathered in the main hall. There was a lot of catching up to do even though not much time had passed since they'd talked to each other.
Raven was the first to explain the situation with Maria and the execution that was to take place in a week's time, then came Erika's turn to let everyone know about how she's gonna run the church in Athenia while they're gone to continue their adventure. Aria wanted to share her piece as well, but her promise to Helga made her consider otherwise. Instead, she informed the rest about her new gauntlets in the making from the dark metal as well as the fact that she'd convinced Helga to train her some more.
Everyone was curious as to how Aria managed to convince Helga, but there was something far more interesting that they needed to discuss first.
