Power Activation II

When Storm finally listened to Kaden and turned to face her audience; there was not a gasp , not even from Jutul. He was staring at her blankly, like he did when he saw her every other day. Kaden's words must have jarred them enough to be statues.

What was Jutul doing here though? She was expecting that he would be dismissed by Kaden. Is he among the special group now? Since when? And why wasn't she aware of the change, if he was? Why didn't Kaden inform her?

Kaden, noticing Storm's line of sight, sighed when he saw Jutul. The lad shouldn't be here. "Jutul, leave..." 

Jutul nodded without hesitation, about to leave the gathering, when the old woman called him back. 

"Let him stay. He will be a good right hand to the girl. After all, they already have a good camaraderie." She paused, then appraised Jutul from head to toe, a furrow marring her already wrinkled forehead.
