Soren had uprooted and cut another tree for good measure, adding it to the pile. He felt Henn and Cass behind him, and he turned and waved even though he couldn't hear what they were saying.
After a moment he was satisfied with the pile of wood he'd put together and set about smoothing the earth he'd uprooted with more spells. Then he used a fire spell to ignite the pile of wood, starting at the bottom and watching as it crackled upward. Instead of immediately joining Cass and Henn, he decided to let them talk for longer, sitting closer to the fire and basking in its warmth. He'd had a couple of hours with Cass, so he was happy to let Henn have her time with him.
