Deklan wasn't angry with her.
Of course, the big part was because she was a beautiful woman, but it's not only that.
Following Deklan was the right move.
It was suspicious of him to suddenly excuse himself when he was supposed to be helping them navigate the inner area. He might belong to a group of bandits, and the last thing she wanted was for him to come along with the rest.
So, it wasn't that big of a deal for her to stalk him right now.
But it is a big deal when, even after she confirmed that Deklan was not lying, that he really had to harvest a Ghost he had hunted down nearby, she still decided to follow him. Deklan has no room to do both the breakthrough to the bronze rank and the Awakening Ritual.
Deklan stretched his arms, pretending, of course.
Based on the subtle aura nearby, Kaelyn should be on his six, behind a tree right behind him.
She was watching closely from the shadows.
"No matter," Deklan shrugged and stood up. "I only need to lose her."
