Late that night, Lepidolite had gone to bed, but she woke up at the sound of footsteps.
She looked out the window of her moon dorm and saw Callum walking back toward camp, crying.
Rayla was anxiously pacing back and forth in the clearing.
Rayla: Callum? I'm so glad you're here! I need to tell you something!
Callum held up his hand to stop her.
Callum: I know. I know what happened. He's gone. Claudia told me.
Rayla: Oh no.
Lepidolite (thinking): Told you, Rayla. But you were too late. And now you're going to suffer the consequences.
Callum left, furious with Rayla for hiding the truth. Rayla came after him, and he walked faster, trying to lose her.
Rayla: Callum I'm sorry! I tried to tell you the king was dead!
Callum: My stepfather! He was more than just the king to me!
Rayla: Your stepdad, I know. I really tried, but I could never find the right way. And whenever I tried, I messed it up. And the next time was harder, until...
Callum: Rayla, just stop! I can't talk about this right now. All I can think about is how I'm going to tell Ezran that our father is gone.
Rayla: I'm sorry Callum. I'm so, so sorry.
Callum ignored Rayla, walking even faster and trying to leave her behind. It was pretty clear he wasn't going to be able to get any sleep that night.
