Anuket watched them from a distance with a sharp gaze, though with a hint of amusement in her eyes. She approached them and, crossing her arms, made a comment that left no one indifferent.

"It's obvious you're tired. But beyond that..." her tone became serious, almost cutting, "both of you need to get stronger. You don't even have the power of a minor god. Right now, you're just a burden to us."
