"How is it?" Rhys' voice was low, his chin brushing Kellen's shoulder as he leaned in. Kellen sighed.
"Awful." Kellen admitted and Rhys let out a dry laugh.

"Were you able to get any more information?" Kellen asked and Rhys made a grumbling noise.
"Not anything I think is useful. I can probably say that the monster attack is over. They fled when the gate exploded." Rhys said and Kellen exhaled slowly. He didn't really agree with what Rhys said, and Rhys could tell. "What? Did you?" Rhys asked, and Kellen turned his head, meeting his gaze.
