"You might have to fight a few people later today."
Those were the words that Rey told Esme earlier that day, and she figured that would be the case—considering how Rey had been having some deep thoughts on planning and strategy since they settled in the Eastern Continent.
That was also why he was talking more with Kara and less to her.
'I understand all of that. It's all for the mission.' Esme constantly told herself, so she didn't particularly mind.
She spent most of her time trying to connect with the 'Oracle' figure that Ater mentioned, so she was busy meditating while the others did whatever concerned them.
It wasn't safe outside thanks to the discrimination against Half Elves, and her companions were really too busy to consider her.
Kara was running an errand for Rey somewhere, and Emil had her own business to attend to. Rey was also occupied with his whole plan. That left her all alone, pretty much the most useless in the bunch.
