Found Her

The other group of soldiers didn't even notice they were coming until Karl was almost in the clearing with them. He had seen them through the trees over a minute earlier, but their scouting abilities were severely lacking, and the group looked exhausted.

[Rae, keep back, I don't want strangers attacking you. Hawk, you too. Or go scout out the other Ogres.] Karl warned.

[I will go scout the Ogres. These humans are weak too.] Hawk agreed.

Rae wanted to stay, but she knew it was best to stay out of sight, so she moved behind the column to make sure that nothing came up behind them.

Karl spotted a familiar curly head of hair, in an Academy mission uniform, and began to laugh.

[You mean Dana? Dana is Rae's human now?] Karl asked.

[She sleeps in Rae's bed, not yours. She's obviously Rae's human.]
