Chapter 193: What a Fire Dragon is
As Elin approached where Jonas, Kim, Guy, and Lance waited, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. She wasn't sure why she and Elmo had been pulled back from colleting firewood, just that it had sounded urget, but as she looked at Kim and Jonas, it didn't feel like it was something that would be urgent. Almost like something that could have waited. At least as far as Elin could tell.
While she set the armload of branches she'd been able to collect, where others had place the wood they'd gathered, she tried to think of every possibility that there was about why they'd have needed to see her and Elmo so urgently. Especially with how didn't seem that urget.
All that came up in her mind was that she'd done something, sometime that she wasn't aware of. Or in other words, she'd screwed something up. She was certain of that. The only problem was the fact that she couldn't think what that might have been.
Glancing at Elmo, she briefly considered the possibility that he'd screwed something up, but nothing came to her mind about that either. Not even a simple thing that could have ben even skewed as his fault.
Which served to only make her more nervous. She breifly considered the benefits running away would have, but given the fact that Jonas, Guy, Lance, and especially Kim, had seen her, she knew that meant she wouldn't be able to get far if she did tried running now.
Maybe she should have tried that when she was first informed that Jonas and Kim wanted to see her, but it was too late to do anything about that now. Just as it was too late to do anything about whatever it was that she'd screwed up.
So, all she could do was approach and see what it was that they had called both her and Elmo for. She just wished she didn't feel like she was in deeper trouble than she'd even been in, in her life.
As she sat down, she was doing her bets to not react to her sense of impending doom, but no one asked her about any odd behavior, so she thought that maybe she wasn't letting it show, although she wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not. All she could say for sure was the fact that it wasn't making it easier for her.
"Alright, since we're all here, we should get started," Jonas said calmly.
