Beatrix's P.O.V.

"I don't really think we have any time to waste." Thalia insisted as I glared at her. I wasn't ashamed to be the first one to admit that I had woken up in a terrible mood. I replayed the situation with Bastian a thousand times before finally falling asleep. "I'm sure the others would like to go home soon."

I knew the situation's urgency, but this did not qualify as an emergency.
