When the morning came, the group was ready to depart as soon as they had breakfast. Raiden thought that things would be like before, but soon Harth showed up.
"Your mother wants you two with us for a while," Harth declared.
"Is there any reason for that?" Raiden asked.
"I am not sure…' Harth said while looking away, visibly uncomfortable.
Harth didn't like lying, even if he didn't hear the reason. He could tell that it was to avoid Raiden having to experience people looking at him like he was an unknown creature.
In any case, it looked like Raiden despite showing that he didn't mind those eyes, his family was being over protective of him. The reasons could be many… They might worry about whom Raiden could trust after such a traumatic experience. Protecting him from potential harm would include shielding him from situations or people who could exploit his past vulnerabilities.
