"Come on Marcella!" Houri called over her shoulder when she saw the girl hesitate between the two groups. She didn't know much about the other girls talents but Zaire, whether by design or happenstance, had already 'picked' his team and so she had the odd initiate who was left last.
"We've got the much better mission," the older girl carried on once Marcella had caught up with her and Lumen. "Whilst those guys are trying to find some lost kids, we'll be doing what the Proctors sent us here to do. Just wait till we get back to the Academy," the Proctors would be so pleased! Perhaps they would let her go on another mission, one without quite so many to 'keep an eye on her'. As she was a year older than these initiates, she thought it should be the other way around, but she admitted she was five years behind in terms of studies and that she might - might - in fact be able to learn something from those with her. Lumen and Marcella - she was sure - were the best out of the group to learn from and so she was pleased they were on her team.
"Let's go check out the sight of the last incident, perhaps there will be some clues the locals over looked," Houri suggested as they weaved their way through the celebrations still taking place in the middle of the streets.
