Zain walked back into the room, the door clicking softly behind him.
Inside, all three girls were already awake.
Velra was sitting on the edge of the bed, tying her boots.
Her pink-lined jacket was still open, revealing her usual tight bodysuit.
Savra was brushing her red hair in front of the mirror.
Her orange-red collar shimmered faintly as light from the window hit it.
Zelia stood near the door, arms crossed, with a black and red coat already on.
Her expression was calm, eyes steady.
Velra looked up. "Where did you go?"
"I asked some questions," Zain said simply.
Savra turned to face him. "So you went scouting without us? Got anything useful?"
Zelia stepped forward. "Did you find out about the Nest?"
Zain gave a small nod. "Yeah. Got some solid information. We'll move out soon."
Velra raised an eyebrow. "So fast?"
Savra leaned back against the wall. "That means you did find something good."
