"Why, you're learning to be quite the handsome devil…" Elara remarked from behind the beech tree, impressed and delighted that she did not have to worry too much.
It was the Verdant Runebark who brought the most danger to the brown table.
With that thing taken care of, even if only temporarily, they would have more time to work with, which she definitely needed to make this dangerous trip worth it.
She had to gather as much Life Sap as she could.
Only, she didn't know that Daru was not yet sure whether the Golden Sap was indeed Life Sap.
It was good that Elara didn't know this, as it would only plant a seed of hesitation in her heart.
She watched for a while longer, waiting until Daru was about to disappear with the Runebarks.
Then she moved.
The Verdant Runebark and the swarm of Sabre Aphids were fighting close to where she was headed, but they seemed busy.
Elara didn't even have to gather up her courage.
