"We’re just going to leave them like that?" Zein looked back in the direction of the temporary camp, but his sight was already obstructed by the curtains of water and the white foams.
"They’re fine so far, aren’t they?" Bassena replied nonchalantly. "And I stationed my kids there so it’s alright."

Bassena smirked unapologetically. "Among other things..."
