The group divided tasks efficiently.
Damion and Garrett gathered firewood from the surrounding area, while Zacard and Lucas cleared the campsite of debris and potential hazards.
Lydia went to scout the immediate perimeter, leaving Celeste to set up their sleeping arrangements.
Lucas was in the middle of moving a particularly stubborn log when he felt eyes on him. He looked up to find Celeste watching him with an intensity that made him pause mid-motion.
"Need something?" he asked.
She tilted her head, a small smile playing at her lips. "Just watching you work. You've gotten stronger since we first met, haven't you?"
"Training will do that," Lucas replied, returning to his task.
Celeste moved closer. It seemed like she was there to help with the log, but her proximity was... too close. "You know, I've been thinking about that day. The festival attack."
Lucas tensed up. "What about it?"
