156 The Mackenzies

Bob led them out of the encampment, past sharp-eyed guards, who were giving envious looks to their group with the twins. Most wouldn't realize right away that they were all siblings, other than Karl, so having not just one but two good-looking women with them would look like an envious situation.

"So, what are your specialties?" Karl asked as they moved out of sight of the camp.

"We're both mages. I'm better with Constructs, and Donni is better with arcane barriers." Danni explained. 

They got a kilometre into the woods and Doug gestured to Karl. "Call out your team. It's better that we have a chance to meet them in advance, even if they're resting until we're in the threat area."

Karl called the three out, and Bob froze in place, staring at Rae.

Donni laughed. "Oh, this should be fun. Bob is terrified of spiders. Even little ones. Is she friendly?"
