"Right." Ruli answered her, content to let silent rest between them as he observed. Until Kire spoke up, inviting herself to help them. As soon as they turned their heads towards her, he slipped back inside the cave, unwilling to welcome any arguement Zeke would undoubtedly ignite. 

Zeke, indeed, spotting Ruli, narrowed his eyes until the man retreated inside, then his grey eyes shifted over to Kire. He opened his mouth to answer her in a not-so-polite response when Aeron, beside him, said "Sure!"
Snapping his mouth shut, Zeke cast a glare in the boys direction before turning his back on the approaching woman, measuring once more. 

"Karey, right?" Aeron asked as she drew near. When she corrected him, he nodded. "Sorry. You're the one who brought us the candies, right? They were good. Thank you."
He glanced down at Zeke, his dark curls sticking to his sweat-damped neck. When the man said nothing, his attention wholly on the task before him, Aeron looked back to Kire. "So. There's another someone wearing your face." It wasn't a question, and it was right to the point.
