"Brother! Over here!" Mei Mei waved her hand as Luna smoothly slowed down and circled around the group.
"Yes. I see you." Liam smiled. He was happy to see that she was not stressed or anxious. Rather she seemed to be in a hyperactive 'I need to help brother' mode.
He chuckled because this was not the first time he was experiencing this mode. It was better this way.
Luna landed and he jumped off of the fox energetically. The break from the game along with the nap he took just now was more than enough for him to recover his condition.
Things would have turned out differently if he had failed that soul forging but since he was successful he was able to recover mostly.
However, clearly the same couldn't be said for others. Many in the group looked worse for wear. They seemed like they had been working very hard.
"So what have you guys been up to?" Liam grinned contently.
