It took a long time to find Callum and the elf, which she hadn't expected. She didn't leave that much after them, but they seemed to move pretty fast as she had a hard time catching up.

She didn't know where they were and unfortunately, she didn't have what she needed to track them. Claudia didn't even know where she would get all of that here.

There was one thing she could definitely say, though, which was that it was pretty much what she expected. Claudia was occasionally distracted by the scenery, probably a lot more than she should be.

While it took a long time to find them, she eventually did. It was further than she expected to find them, though it looked like a good place to rest.

Rayla seemed to be fond of showing off her speed, or sword or something, whatever it was in particular she was showing off at the moment, because she was very quick to pull out her weapon to, presuambly, use against Claudia.

"Claudia?" Callum asked, confused.

"Hey, Callum." Claudia said, and looked at Rayla's weapon, "Am I interrupting something? Some sort of... thing that would involve a sword?"

"Nope, you're just in time." Rayla replied.

"Claudia, why are you here?"

"And where's Soren?" Rayla added in.

"Soren? He went with Ez. Ezran also said you guys might need some help?" Claudia answered.

"We don't need your help."

Claudia looked at Callum, and he sighed, "I don't think its a good idea, either. After last time..."

She looked back at Rayla briefly, who stared at her angrily, "I know we betrayed you, and I'm sorry, and we really didn't want to. But we had to try to get you back home. It's too dangerous here."

"It is dangerous. But we have Rayla, and I can use magic again and-"

"But it's still really dangerous, Callum," Claudia told him, "And if you're not going to go home with Ezran, than you should at least have me or Soren or something."

"You should go back, Claudia."

"Callum." She attempted to argue, "It's too dangeorus."

"You can't come with us. You should go back home." Callum said, before turning to Rayla, "We should go."

They started walking away, Rayla keeping her eye on Claudia in the process, or at least until they were far enough that she couldn't attack. Claudia started following them after that.

Following them turned out to be pretty difficult, mostly because Claudia really didn't know that much about her surroundings and there was a lot of things that were just distracting. There were a lot of things she hadn't seen before.

There was also avoiding the elves. Soren was right, there were a lot of elves who hated them. He was pretty accurate about that. Which was unfortunate.

She was right about how dangerous it was.

Callum wasn't particularly pleased about that fact, after the elves saw him. Sort of. It was very brief. Rayla told him to stay behind a rock.

"Hey." Rayla said, casually, seemingly pretending to be the only one there. They asked her something that Callum didn't hear.

"Nope, just me." He heard her say, relatively loudly. He didn't hear what else she said, it was interrupted by something else.

"Callum."

He turned around to see Claudia, and asked quietly, "What are you doing here? You were supposed to go home."

"Doesn't mean I'm going to. Come on," She grabbed his hand, and moved him away from the rock he was hiding behind quickly, like she had a plan.

"Claudia, what are you doing? We're gonna get caught."

She didn't answer, and moved past the elves that were distracted with Rayla, who did seem to notice them and told the elves she had to leave, following them.

They didn't say anything until they had gotten relatively far away. Callum sat down on the grass, and then almost immediately lied down in it.

"What are you doing here?" Rayla asked.

Claudia smiled at her, "I came to help."

"We already told you, we don't need your help."

Callum sat up, "You should've gone home."

"I'm not leaving, Callum." Claudia said, "And I'm just going to keep following you until you let me help."

He sighed, "Claudia..."

"We have no reason to trust you." Rayla pointed out, "You and Soren lied to us and betrayed Callum and Ezran."

"We didn't want to have to betray you guys. But we tried to do it my way and it didn't work, so we had to do it his way." Claudia attempted to explain, "I didn't come here to betray you guys. I came here to help my friends."

"You still can't come with us, Claudia. Betraying us was one thing, and then the dragon and... We can't trust you."

Claudia sighed, staring at Rayla and Callum. She had to figure something out, something to convince them to let her help, to convince them she wouldn't betray them again or anything like that. Then, she remembered something Ezran had said.

"Well, maybe I could teach you some primal magic, at least?"

"Primal magic?" Callum questioned.

"Ezran said you could do that now, right? I still know a few things from when I had my primal stone." Claudia said, "And if you're not going to let me help you, you should at least let me teach you some more magic."

Rayla took Callum a little bit further away to talk, though their conversation seemed short.

"Okay, I guess you can teach me some primal magic."

"Great!" Claudia smiled, "We can start later tonight if you want."

"Tonight?"

"Well, yeah. I mean, unless you wanted to do it tomorrow night."

"Are you trying to get us to let you stay?"

"Maybe," She smiled again, "Or maybe it's just something you'd do at night, when there's hopefully a little less elves around and ideally, it's less noticeable."

"Is that why?" Callum asked.

"I guess you'll see."
