Rion walked back to the camp, and while doing so, he picked up various herbs, flowers and roots that would be useful for what he was about to do.
Just as he reached the camp, one of Balthar's squad members looked at him and asked with a puzzled frown, "Rion? Why are you back so early?"
Normally, Rion left the camp soon after sunrise to wander the mountains and scout for spots where he could take his squad members for a break from their routine patrols.
He also wanted to join them for the rounds around the purple fog forest, but they had denied him because his presence alone would turn their patrols pointless and leave them no chance for training.
Before he understood their worries, and because all of them had awakened their aura, he had no issue with agreeing to their suggestions.
