"Depends on the threat." Adym reasoned.

"We won't know until we see." he said.

"So let's go." Kai replied, making his way to the door.

Meanwhile, Karivyn and Sara were almost knocked over as well.

"Woah!" the centaur exclaimed.

"Sara, are you all right!?" he asked the girl.

Ceth quickly jerked his head back and forth.

"I don't know!" he exclaimed.

"But we'd better find out!" he told her.

Meanwhile, Callie and crew were asking themselves the same thing.

"That didn't feel like a sea-beast or a leviathan." Kai commented.

"I think we're under attack from terrestrials." he said.

Karivyn laughed lightly at the exchange.

"We will." he replied.

"Again, thank you SO much." he said further, before he excused himself and Sara, and left the room.

Once they were gone, Ceth turned to Xeri.

"Well." he said.

"Do you think we should try and introduce them to the others we know are here?" he asked her.

"...besides HIM?" he quickly clarified at the end.

"It seems you had a stress-attack." the doctor replied.

"Really taxed your heart." he continued.

"You should recover, though." he then assured him.

"Just relax, all right?" he went on.

Ceth watched this happen and smiled as well.

He was glad that they'd been reunited... though Sara's general attitude and such worried him slightly. Then again, was it surprising?

He then sighed quietly, as Karivyn lifted Sara up, and allowed her to get onto his back.

"Thank you." he said to the twins.

"No worries." Ceth replied.

"Sara and I had a good talk."

When Karivyn was close enough, he knelt down so that he was closer to her level...

...and hugged her.

Held her close.

"Thank goodness you're all right." he said.

"I never would have forgiven myself if anything had happened to you." he went on.

"All that matters is that you're safe. And you found other people you can trust."

The doctor was shocked when Eke spoke.

"You're awake!" he exclaimed.

"Please, take it easy." he told him.

"I'll believe you about him not harassing you, but please. Take it easy." he went on.

"How are you feeling?" he asked.

Karivyn did, indeed, accept the invitation, and stepped inside.

When he saw Sara, his expression lightened and became that of massive relief.

"Sara!" he exclaimed.

"Oh, thank goodness." he said, as he started to walk towards her.

"I'm glad you're safe!" he told her.

'Huh.' Ceth thought, upon seeing him.

'A centaur. Not often you see them out of their forests.'

"Prioritise Sara." Karivyn said, without a moments hesitation.

"She is the important one." he said further.

"I am tasked with protecting and defending her, so her life is of more value than mine." he continued.

"I am a centaur warrior, and I never fail in my responsibilities." he then told her.

"I will die before I let harm come to her."

"Indeed." Karivyn replied.

"I can understand that." he said further.

With that, the rest of the walk to the room was in relative silence, before he sighed when they were walking down the corridor, and shook his head.

"Admittedly, I am not very comfortable on a ship." he then commented.

"Centaurs... don't do very well on the water..."

Karivyn, not knowing where Xeri's room was, instinctively followed the elf.

As he did, he looked around slightly, keeping aware of his surroundings, and making sure nothing was going to happen.

"So. She sensed your brother." he commented.

"That is interesting." he said.

"Means there are no less than 3 of you onboard this ship." he went on.

"This is quite serendipitous."

The centaur nodded once again.

"Yes." he said.

"Let us go and see her." he agreed.

"It would be best if we left these crowds, anyway." he reasoned.

"I don't need to lose her again." he went on.

"I would never forgive myself if I let her down." he said further, a heaviness to his tone.

He heaved a sigh of relief.

"Oh, thank goodness." he said.

"I was SO worried about her. We'd gotten separated when things got hectic earlier." he told her.

"I'm glad it seems she found someone friendly at least." he went on.

He then paused for a moment, thinking about it.

"Wait..." he said, looking at her hair.

"Are YOU the one she senses?" he asked.

The centaur paused when she addressed him.

"....." he was silent, before looking at her.

"Yes. That is my name." he confirmed.

"How do you know it?" he asked, before pausing.

"Wait, do you know Sara!?" he then asked further, his voice hopeful.
