Gruter made his way back to the training grounds early after finding the spare room was empty of the three companions. He didn't bother looking around the restaurant. His aura had alerted him to the absence of Will and his friends.
The closer he brought himself to the grounds, the brighter the auras became in his senses. "Those three don't know how to take a break." He sighed to himself. He was getting too old for this. As he made his way, three shadows appeared behind him. He smiled. "I appreciate you three coming to see how their training has progressed."
"If they are doing half as well as you say they are, they may be worth trampling down a few times." A female voice said cheerfully behind him.
"Freya," A deeper voice sounded from the center of the group. "You had better behave yourself. I don't want a repeat of what happened last time we assisted Master in his training."
