"Hey, it's ok." He said, laughing. "I didn't mean spending. We didn't spend as much as I thought we would. I am just thinking about how we are going to carry everything there. Alex will be able to help, don't worry."

"Ok." She said, looking down as he took out his phone and begin calling Alex.

Kaia looked around them, the snow starting to fall as she began to panic a little bit. Tugging at his arm, Dor looked at Kaia while talking to Alex.
