Eira chuckled softly. "I think you've seen for yourself—I can handle myself. Besides, Reed is more than capable, and in some ways, he's better than me. There's no need to worry."
Malia sighed, still unconvinced, but she stepped forward and gave Eira another brief hug. "Alright. Be careful," she said reluctantly. "I'll call you later."
"Okay."
"Bye, Ephyra. See you on Monday," Cyran added, stepping in to give her a quick hug as well.
Orla, who had remained silent, let out a resigned sigh before patting Eira's back in a rushed hug. "Take care," she muttered.
With that, the five of them climbed into a car. Lance shoved the restrained attacker into the trunk, muttering something about questioning.
Eira watched them drive away before turning and heading to the car where Reed was waiting in the driver's seat. She slid into the passenger side, shutting the door behind her.
