"In thirty minutes."
"It shouldn't be that far," said Oren with confusion. The aircraft's base was farther than the storm was from his location. "We might not get there in time."
"Although our aircraft is not runes-based, the storm itself could throw our navigation off because of the instability it is causing. Therefore, we must take a roundabout route to avoid the worst of it," explained the man. "Miss Selena asked us to drop you in a safe spot, after all."
