Hadama was grateful for his Academy-granted cold resistance as he swam the rest of the way up the river until he came up against the Refuge's magic-cancelling field. He waited at the edge of the town for Harper to arrive so they could enter together.
He nodded appreciatively to Deimos for setting the tables and snacks near the water, and gave Evie a warm smile of welcome. They had much to catch up on, but now was neither the time nor the place. The sobering contents of the letter that had gathered them all together implied a cause for concern rather than celebration, and his serenely stoic facade soon slipped back into place.
