So What?

Kaizan stood at a distance with a rabbit he had hunted, hanging in his left hand. He was looking at Ileus who appeared to have been caught in a whirlwind of confusion and utter disbelief. 

Ileus turned his head over his shoulder to look at him and Kaizan could sense his raised heartbeat. The bitterness of his confusion was mixed with… fear. Ileus' expressions were tight as he looked from him to Anastasia. His body sank on the rock he was sitting on. 

Kaizan pursed his lips. He walked to him and the friends' clasped forearms and then gave each other a bear hug, clapping each other on the back. "How are you?" he asked in a low voice even as he felt Anastasia watching them with curiosity.
