"Hmm?" 

Faith thought. She had noticed that, when the others were speaking, Caelis' hand that he had kept on Faith's shoulder had slightly tightened. Normally it wouldn't be noticeable, and if it were any other person, then Faith wouldn't have cared. But, Caelis had near mastery of his hands and fingers from the years he spent playing instruments, so random movements like that almost never occurred. He was thinking about something that resonated deep within him. As the others prepared to start the journey, Faith turned to Caelis and whispered 

"What's wrong?" 

Caelis responded "Nothing." 

Faith wouldn't let this pass. She pouted slightly and gave an angry grunt. Caelis said "Fine. I was just thinking about my home, Attolia. My people... no. [b]Attolia[/b] fought against some of the other states that these people come from. Not that I care. It's been more than a decade since I've been there... Anyways, don't worry about it. We're going to start this journey soon. So, get ready." 

Caelis then walked off towards the others. In the years that they had spent together, Faith never learned much about Caelis' time in Attolia. If she asked him about Attolia, then he would usually give general answers, and quickly move on to another topic. Faith learned quickly that Attolia wasn't just "nothing" to him, but she didn't dig deeper. That was practically the only thing that Caelis had intentionally been avoiding mentioning a word about. That's why she wanted Caelis to be willing to talk about it out of his own will. Until then she would wait. After all, it didn't really matter in this moment. It wasn't like he was going there. Right now, Caelis was here with her, and that's all that she wanted. That was why she was willing to wait.

Faith walked over to the group where Caelis stood. As she approached him from behind, Faith lifted her left arm and reached...

for his hand. Faith smiled as Caelis turned to look. For a second, Caelis looked confused. Then the edges of his lips slightly curved up. The two stood together, side to side, holding each other hands without saying a word to each other. Faith felt Caelis' hand lose all the tension that it had before. She didn't need words to explain that.
