''Rey...'' The taller, stronger woman cannot hold your stare. She sees what happened today as a failure...Well, my gratitude is real, and I'll have you feeling good about it!
''Come on.'' Still holding her arm, you gently push her forward. ''For now, this place is your home, too. If I'm to have an important discussion about what happened, you're part of it. And keep holding onto little Usha.''
Your legs feel wobbly as you leave the big woman's side to open the door.

The temperature outside has that nice cold bite of late autumn. First glance reveals nothing of the harsh trial that happened this afternoon. Blood splashed on the walls has been cleaned, holes in the ground filled, and canine corpses removed; a familiar soft fragrance tickles your nose.

Two crates (pulled out of your family's storeroom) lingered near the entrance of your home. One piece of incense burned a quiet waft of lavender carried by the wind toward you.
Unity
Holy blessed incense to disrupt wandering spirits of the Red, making them unable to inhabit necromantic bodies again.

''Rey.'' Your mother left the campfire to walk next to you, and the other two occupants greeted you casually.
''Hey, I'm good. Healing potions got some sedations in them, huh?'' When your mother's hand gently rubs your cheek, an unwelcome surge of intense warmth causes a swell of wetness in your eyes. Urk, don't go crying now. I nearly got torn apart today, tears wouldn't look cool.
''Yeah, the girls gave you two so you'd recover nicely. Eating will knock you out, so I made something light for you after our talk.'' While speaking, your mother's gaze kept an intense examination of your eyes, making you wonder if she'd try an investigation of your soul unprompted.
''Alright, alright.'' One backward glance at Shigeko and you're led to the campfire, where you decide to occupy the log next to Seyraphal.

''Mom, Dad, if there's an important talk I want them to hear, too. For now, our home is also theirs.'' Putting a hand on the moth druid's shoulder (whose mutations were completely gone), a faint blush blossomed on her cheeks.''I-I'm glad you're so healthy...'' Whisper your friend and savior.
''Of course.'' It's your mother who answers, your dad has this pensive look on his face as he keeps his gaze firmly rooted on the fire. ''Girls, you need to dispel any notions of debts from your minds after today. You fought and bled for this home and saved Rey's life; I don't need any other proof of your character.''
''I...should have known there was a ring leader, some kind of leading entity.'' Shigeko was standing behind you, using Usha as an excuse to avoid looking at anyone else.
''Nope, nope.'' Shigeko quiets down to silence when you interrupt her. ''I saw you grab that freak's head before I passed out, you came back for me Shi, if you keep feeling guilty, I'll drag you into a clothing shop and force you to try lots of pretty things. Maybe have Sey here make something.''
