"We'll come!" Jakin cannons into Mina from the side, enthusiastic as usual. "It will be after nightfall tonight," Inric says as he turns to leave. Jakin looks disappointed, then turns to Mina. "Do you think we could -" "No!" "Who else is he going to ask?" Tiero muses, not paying attention to the squabbling siblings.
