Luca and Ralena were two entirely different people, and while the matter concerning Ralena was a private one, she rather enjoyed the idea of somebody reaching out and asking her about it. She wanted to spill her guts out to somebody, she wanted to confide in them and know that she wasn't alone. Truth be told, that was one of the things that Ralena feared more then anything else despite her wandering tendencies. "It's... uh..." she couldn't find the words, but thankfully Luca filled the gap by letting her know that she was the leader of the mission, and as such she was the one that should turn in the pendant. With a light smile, Ralena accepted the pendant and looked up into Luca's eyes. "As for what's bugging me... uh... we can chat about it later, if you want..."<br/><br/>She felt so weird saying something like that, and she was somewhat nervous about spilling her guts in front of the entire group at once. Luca would be as good a place as any to start, since Ralena felt that she could rely on him to listen to her concerns without judging her or being a loudmouth and telling everybody else. Either way, after she took the pendant she would look towards Lyuk and Alice, and addressed Alice's question as to rather or not they should leave. "Yeah, let's get out of here... We should contact the magic justice department though, just to make sure that Oprhaeus doesn't start anything like this again."<br/><br/>Speaking of which, what had happened to the rest of the shadow crows? If Lyuk looked to where he had settled Emilia for the battle, the black haired songstress would have up and vanished. And on their way out, the same could be said for Gaius, Gregory, and the man that Ralena battled as well. Either way, when they stepped out of the small and unassuming cottage and back into the forest, they'd be able to see the orange sun descending beneath the trees. "Well how about that? Think we can get back to town early enough to get a hotel or something?"
