Kellen thought that he was going to be rather alone given the fact that no one really knew he was here, but that wasn't the case. The upper management knew he was here, but the Guides didn't know he was here. Plus, the more people the visited, the more people that got in the way of the healers doing their tests.
At least, that was what Kellen told himself so that he didn't get his hopes up.
He sent his parents away first. After they got to see that he was safe, he was alive, and that so far, everything was working, he had to. They had already had planned out days prior to him coming here. he did not want to interfere in their plans.
He knew he couldn't convince Charlie to leave, the kid had a hard look in his eyes, a look that Kellen was familiar with. He had seen it in himself when he was young as well. So, he let Charlie remain since the man made it a point that he had nowhere else he was needed.
