Conflict within the team

- What gnaws at your thoughts, Samantha? - Cassandra asked her friend in a low voice.

She knew what her friend was thinking, most likely about her sister and Traya and their journey. But as much as Cassandra would have liked to go with them, she had duties to the crew.

- I think it's right that we didn't go with them? - Thoughtfully answered Samantha without taking her eyes off the sparring that passed before her eyes.

She and Cassandra didn't notice how many of them listened to their conversation and fell silent.

Many who communicated with them did not notice that they were unhappy, but on the contrary, the princess of the dark elves shone brighter than anyone else.

- You remember that conversation, they will complete the tasks and return. And we need to become stronger so that we can travel with them. - Cassandra spoke in a tired voice.

She understood her anxiety, but in this situation they could only wait with their friend for their return. Glancing at his bracelet, which was in the same place.

- Yes, but didn't you think that we could become stronger there than here, where nothing threatens our lives? - Samantha shared her thoughts.

Two friends sighed at the same time, from the side the rest of the team members were already accustomed to such reactions of the girls.

When everyone already thought that they would not know anything, a man approached them.

He had silver hair from the clothes he wore only in dark-colored trousers, sweat from a training battle was dripping from his body.

Fillier tried not to pay attention to the two elves, but these glances thrown at them by other members of the team had already bothered him.

- What's wrong with you girls? - Asked bluntly Filer, he was not a supporter of beating around the bush.

Immersed in their thoughts, the girls did not immediately notice that Filer approached them. They were wondering how long he stood by, casting a glance at him, they were not interested in answering him.

- Are you thinking about your husband and what might happen to him? But he himself chose to go on missions to escort the caravan! - The young man said, he was hurt that none of them paid attention to his appearance.

He understood that, according to the rules of that duel, they were busy, but all the same, he saw the desire that even married women had when he was at home on vacation.

- You're right, we're thinking about our husband and her sister, but what do you care? - Cassandra asked in a low voice, the behavior of this guy was the complete opposite of Trey.

He thought about how to get out of this situation, their behavior was not like what he expected. He liked Samantha and seeing that she didn't show off her bracelet like a dark elf made him want to see how she would react to it.

But now he felt stupid when the light elf did not look at him, everyone had problems and topics that they did not want to discuss with others.

- We are a team, and we must make sure that you do not run away looking for him. - Answered Filer, trying to hide his annoyance at the behavior of the dark elf.

He was surprised that Samantha did not react to the conversation between him and the dark elf. She continued to stare ahead at the empty space where the sparring used to be.

- You can be sure we will not go looking for him because he will return. - Cassandra answered by raising the intonation of her voice.

All this dialogue, which in her opinion was useless, irritated her. She saw that he had something else to say when the figure of Shego'Lo appeared behind him.

- What's going on here stufons? - Looking around the whole team, Shego'Lo asked in a cold voice.

She saw that what was happening was connected with two elves near which a young man was standing.

Shego'Lo hoped he wasn't trying to romance one of them. She didn't know how stufon Trey would react to this and didn't want to find out.

- Elder Shego'Lo, we discussed the relationship within the team. - Answered Filer throwing a wary glance at the two girls.

If they now say that he was trying to find out about their personal life or something. Filer didn't know how Dean Shego'Lo might react.

- That's fine, but don't try to force someone to be honest if they don't want to. - Agreeing with his words, the dean spoke in an understanding voice.

She saw that this was only part of the truth that the stufon said, but if there was something beyond the two elves, they would not behave calmly, as Shego'Lo thought.

- Girls get up, the director wants to talk to you. - She turned to two elves who looked at her in surprise.

The surprised girls looked at each other, not understanding why the director could call them to him. They had a hunch that it was related to Trey and Keirin, but they hoped it wasn't.

- Do you know what he wants to discuss with us? - Cautiously asked Samantha, who had been silent before.

She had fears that the director did not just want to discuss something with them. She hoped it wasn't caused by Trey or her sister.

- He didn't tell me, so pack up and let's go, we won't keep him waiting. - Shego'Lo replied in an uninterested voice, shrugging her shoulders.

But she wondered why the director so urgently wanted to see the two elves. Thinking back to her recent conversation with Ama'Ley, she had the feeling that the headmaster wanted to discuss the half-elf with them.

- After talking with the director, you will have to return here to continue our conversation. - Hastily, said Filer, watching the two girls get up and get ready to leave for the dean.

Hearing the words from Filer, Cassandra turned her head and looked into his eyes, which read indifference towards him. Then she turned around and silently followed the dean with Samantha.
