Chapter 407

The trip back to the summer headquarters was silent and sober. Even Micah's usual after-battle banter was missing. They left the plane at the airport and took the helicopter back to the jungle clearing. They were half way to the house when Torina rushed out the door. She skidded to a barefoot stop and grabbed Oren's arm. "Your human. Something's wrong with her."

"What?" Oren asked, his brow furrowed.

"How should I know? I'm not a medical doctor! She's hot and she was vomiting." Torina shuddered in disgust. "Do something!"

Oren rolled his eyes and pushed past his sister. Katelina clutched Jorick's arm. How much more could they take in one day?

Etsuko lay in the sleeping room, Sorino's sleeping bag spread over her. She offered them a wan smile. "I apologize. There is nothing to be concerned for, Oren-sama. It is merely a small human complaint. It will pass."
