Darren frowned as the others came, bringing along with them noise and other stuff. They were quite obviously late because they were bringing food, or in Wilson's case, tea. Soon Ne'os was back and they were all chatting amongst themselves. Ne'os was fixing the tents, Mari and Khaat were preparing dinner, Wilson was drinking his tea. Darren was just watching. And planning.
Soon, Matt came over to him and led Darren away from the others. Darren raised his eyebrows as Matt told him about the scroll. He was interested, but he was afraid that Jess or Ne'os, who were both quite near, would overhear. Or they might be wondering what they were up to. "Talk later, when they're all asleep," Darren muttered quietly, before walking back to camp.
Khaat and mari were obviously done, and whatever they had made at least smelled quite nice. "Whats for dinner?" he said cheerfully. He just wanted to get them all in a good mood, and then get them all sleeping. Perhaps this whole ordeal could be over tonight.

Just fyi. Darrens probably going to tell Matt what his plans are later at night, when everyones sleeping. It would be interesting if Ne'os overhears though.
Also, Danny is probably out now. ><
