The look in Lena's eyes was making the area feel tight. Not because it had a physical effect, on him, but because it put Reidar on edge. Reidar, Mara, and Aaron were facing Lena, Jorik, and Torren across the damp ground. Accusations were hanging in the silence.
That stirs from the lake were gone now, replaced by the feeling of a fight about to break. Mara and Aaron shifted uneasily while their hands hovered near their weapons. They were nervous; Reidar could see it on their faces.
It was weird. Aaron and Mara were from Havenwood, so wouldn't they be trying to reassure Lena and the others that everything was ok and that likely this hostility was because of a misunderstanding?
Although Reidar didn't know what the hell was going on. Yet they did nothing like that.
It was Lena who moved first. She didn't have to say anything for Torren and Jorik to follow her.
