As the walk continued, Sofia took charge for some time. As Keres retreated slightly to the back, it was her choice to allow Keres to rest for a little while, without having to worry so much about what to do next.
In this time, she handled everything, like morale and their resources, and she had done a good job, nothing amazing, but enough, maybe even more than enough. Keres, meanwhile, took his time resting at night, instead of staying up at night to plan, and during the day, he stood with many different groups.
Yet today... he interestingly chose to stay near him, at the end of the group.
Aether was surprised to see him walk towards him; he wouldn't have expected him to just come to him; they weren't... that close... even if he felt like their relationship had gotten better ever since joining them in this exploration.
