The Aethrym's chief, Badong, was sitting on the sofa when they entered the room. Brando and Sando, standing behind them, nodded at them but kept silent.
"Welcome, and the lady over there has also changed, huh."
Badong greeted them, slight surprise flashing in his old, big eyes. He had seen the power Elara held and the way she was behaving, so seeing her laughing came off as a surprise.
Veer smiled and greeted back. Then, he said, as he sat down on a sofa, "Something was bothering her and she couldn't talk to anyone aside from Rock. But now we're here."
"Good good. I'm glad the little lady is fine now. She saved our Town, so I was really grateful to her and wanted to help. Unfortunately, we couldn't communicate," Badong sighed. "Anyway, let's move on to the important topics as I'm sure even you're getting impatient."
Veer nodded.
"It's natural as the calamity is coming, after all," Badong said.
"How do you know?" Veer asked in surprise.
