As they jumped down and headed to the array, Tambai and his brother couldn't help but look at the two kids following them. "How'd you find us?"
"I… I overheard you before," he said, looking at Tanod. "That you'll be escaping via a wall around the safest place near the array."
He was referring to the time when they had just escaped and were pointed out to the location of their rescuer's friends. Those people helped them leave the Palace, and then they were told to find a hiding place until the war was over.
The rest of them were too cowardly and just followed their instructions, finding the best hiding places they could find. Whether it was in the shrubs, between alleys, or next to random boxes, they did their best to be undetectable.
Except for Jord, who also dragged a friend with him.
Jord was a newly captured 'slave', though not in the system sense because he had been sold by his own parents.
