Though Aurora did not like it, she couldn’t disagree with the two of them. She also very badly wanted to go and see Damon right this second. Ultimately, she decided to do the thing that made her the happiest.
"Alright. We can go and take a look. This guy is definitely suspicious, but he is not strong enough to even.." She paused mid-sentence, narrowing her eyes at Norosse’s swaggering silhouette. "matter."
Lirae pressed her lips together to avoid smiling. Kate outright snorted.
Aurora continued, "It’s not a bad idea to bring some cannon fodder in case hubby needs it."
Kate coughed hard. "A-Aurora... He is a Blood General!"
"What?" Aurora blinked innocently. "It’s true. If anything, he is quality cannon fodder. That’s about it. Anyway!" she chirped. "Let’s hurry. Hubby might be hurt, or trapped, or bored, or fighting someone fun without me. All of these are unacceptable."
Kate nodded firmly. "Agreed. We’ll leave as soon as Norosse’s forces gather."
Lirae added softly, "And we’ll be prepared." She clenched her fists in determination. The way she had let her betrothed deal with everything did not sit well with her at all. And it had now been several hours since then, almost an entire day, and he still hadn’t returned. She felt uneasy.
It was true that he asked her to stay out of it, but things had changed now.
Lirae closed her eyes and examined herself. The moment she arrived here with the other two, she immediately ventured out and started training. She was now a lot more familiar with her blood elf skills. This was the condition her betrothed had given her, and she had now fulfilled it. Well, somewhat. She definitely wouldn’t be breaking any promises by going back there again.
"Princess..." Aurora called, snapping her out of her thoughts. "I am going to see if Erin, Kaelthorn, or Ellora is available. We can leave right after that."
Lirae nodded.
Unfortunately, those three were busy with something else and were currently not there in the Blood Hall. Even Mallia, the fish girl, was somewhere else. Aurora did not really care. She just wanted to get out of there as soon as possible and see Damon.
The group quickly became ready. At the last minute, Ellora showed up, and the blood witch immediately joined in despite her tired appearance. They also decidedly asked Kate to stay behind, as she hadn’t fully recovered yet.
Kate could only bitterly accept it. She was weak, and she had no one else to blame.
"Cheer up, My Lady." Ellora gave a small bow to her. Even though they were a lot closer now after the war, she still gave the respect Kate deserved. "The little alchemist is very talented. She is very close to a breakthrough. You might become fully healed really soon."
Kate forced a smile, but it didn’t quite reach her eyes. "I know," she whispered. "It’s just... I hate being left behind when he might need us."
Aurora immediately marched back over and grabbed both of Kate’s cheeks with her hands. "Hey," she pouted, pressing Kate’s face into a squish, "don’t make that sad face. I don’t like it. If hubby saw you like this, he would scold me."
Kate blinked. "Why would Damon scold you?"
