Emberwood Surprised?

Grace had started to open her mouth to explain to Nova that shed already left her pack when her beaten up friend came into the clearing. Golden eyes wide, she yelped and cut off his path.
      "Did Saena do this to you?!"
The little female sounded outraged. He'd tried HELPING! right?
            "She told us you were a traitor but Esaro you were trying to help, right? I left Phoenix, and they left the Maplewood." 
She glanced at Nova, and nodded. She spoke to both of them in her soft tone, smiling softly.
                      "I'll be going with Nova to join Warbone. Esaro, come with us."
She wasn't sure how he'd do on his own, especially hurt like this. Plus, she wanted to be with her friend.
