Diego & Cecil
Cecil doesn't leave Diego waiting long -- it doesn't take much time to confirm (to his surprise) that only Ryan appears to be gone and to pick up his journal so he can let the other prefects know what's going on -- before he steps out into the cold, dark morning air and joins his friend. He takes a seat beside Diego and, instead of looking into the distance, he glances down at the camp and the trail leading up to it. Will he see any others returning? If he does, he supposes he'll have to write down their names and talk to them too.
A long moment passes before he looks over at his friend, exhales a soft sigh that escapes his lips in a puff of white, and prompts, "Okay?"
