Carson nodded and walked over to stand near her. He made sure he stayed next to Ellie, not wanting to leave her side when there might be danger around. "Eyes and ears open, Buck. We're about to get into danger most likely. I'll need you to warn us if you smell anything."
Buck let out a snort to show he understand, then began carefully sniffing around the area
Kyle obliged, even though he didn’t like someone else taking charge. What other responsibility did a little guy have?
“Oh, I see how it is...” Cam said, staring at Ellie and Carson. Or “Big Kyle” as she thought of him. Some people and their felines. “Keeping the love birds together. Wouldn’t want any upsets.” Her words were absolutely teasing, of course.
Lilith tensed when Cam started to say that, but realized what she meant immediately after and snickered a little, eyes dancing. "Oh yes, hate to do that."“Yep” Ellie grabbed Aria’s other hand. “Group. Who’s with Lilith and E- sorry what’s your name?”
“Ellie”
“Who’s with Lilith and Ellie?” Aria asked
She returned to a straight face, glancing at Aria. I... Literally just said who...? "Carson, Ciro, Kyle, and Korim. That'll make six of us."
Lilith laugh at Korim, smirking. "I forgot you had a weapon."“Oh, so serious.” Kyle said. “‘It’s gonna’ be up to us main fighters,” he parroted.

“I am ready for anything,” Korim said in a deep voice, patting the bow on his shoulder as if he were a halfway decent shot. He even added the effect of narrowing his eyes and added a twisted grimace.
A grin quickly broke his granite chiseled expression and lit up his round face.
This incited a grin from Cam. Boys could be so silly sometimes, compelling you to laugh even when you really didn’t want to. Even when she was trying to stay on task she would see out of the corner of her eye a boy perform some ludicrous antic and she’d have to force down the giggles.
She looked down at Kyle, annoyance obvious on her face. "Oh yeah, let's see you do anything, shorty." She snipped, rolling her eyes.
