Lilo clung tightly to August, pressing her face against his chest as her bright eyes sparkled with relief. "Aleman! I thought you were done for! You're amazing, you know that?"
August chuckled while patting her back lightly. "Alright, alright, Lilo. I'm glad you're okay too. But we can't waste time here."
Boris grinned with his massive axe resting on his shoulder. "I can't believe it, man. I thought we'd all be dead meat back there. You've got guts, Aleman."
Ezran stood quietly nearby as his hands fidgeted with the hem of his robe. "T-thank you for coming back for us. That was... brave."
August nodded. "I wasn't about to leave my friends to those maniacs. Thankfully that strange dude interfered at the last minute. But we need to move. Aria and the others are ahead, and we can't let anyone else clear the dungeon first."
