Elaine looked as Jason approached, instinctively going a bit closer to Caroline. He arrived close and she tensed the tiniest bit, forcing herself to not cower or show signs of fear whatsoever. After hearing his thoughts, she nodded, making the smallest smile to him. "Don't worry about me." she said with a voice somewhat dry from crying. "I can take on anything that comes to hurt you." She added in to prove she was okay. Her heart was still frightened, and she doubted she could go back to her starting confidence, but she knew that was alright, it would help her be ready for the future. 

Dusk watched as the group interacted, not exactly enjoying some treatment given to certain people. The demon girl had a rock thrown at her head which seemed unjustified, depending on your outlook, and the girl was coddled. Dusk didn't find it wrong to treat a child softly, in fact he thought it was right to keep them safe and innocent. But this adventure was not for a child, and if she chose to come along perhaps it was best she wasn't treated as one. Dusk realized they were still a member short on their party, and looked back to the direction Jason and Ansen had gone to, wondering where the latter was currently.
