Captain Chambers is stunned hearing Arthur's answer.
He nods a few times, head lowered.
He is fighting back tears.
Rhaenas cares.
These five strangers care about his comrades.
He looks up and nods again.
"Okay. Okay. Go."
Arthur turns to his members. "Let's go."
The five of them exit the tent and walk firmly toward the gate.
Everyone stops what they're doing. All eyes turn to the five figures heading straight toward danger. Each person watching has different thoughts.
Some think how brave they are, walking into a dungeon that has already taken lives.
Others think they are foolish. Teams with far more people have already failed, and these five want to go in alone? Just because they are getting paid, they are willing to throw their lives away. Stupid.
Just before entering, Theo suddenly stops.
The others stop as well and turn toward him.
"Thea?" Arthur asks.
