"Leon.." Still recovering from the bizarre experience, Eli softly called out between her sniffles.
Leon gently cupped Eli's face to see if she was hurt. Taking out a handkerchief, he carefully whipped Eli's pale and tear stricken face, "Sush.."
"Goodness young Eli!" The grandpas, now trio grandpas, with Chief Eirllon joining the grandpa gang, exclaimed with concern.
"What happened?"
"Why are you here? Eh, why is the artifact staff here?!!"
"We've been looking for you right after the ceremony but you were nowhere to be found!"
The three grandpas worriedly threw Eli a lot of questions.
Leon on the other hand, was busy checking Eli's body if she had been injured or hurt. Finally, he bent downward and carried Eli up.
He glanced inquisitively towards Chief Eirllon and asked in a respectful manner, "May I trouble the Chief to help me have a check on Eli's physical condition?"
