kale looked shocked. He gritted his teeth and turned away from her. He said nothing else until they reached shore and jumped out of the boat with the assailant over his shoulder. "I said that..because I have more faith in you than I do Yang, the Titans, or humanity.." Kale didn't look at her. He just walked away. "Don't come around the team anymore...You're right, we don't need quitters." The dragon mage was more hurt that Energy Warrior had let her warrior spirit go than her denial to rejoin him on the team. That was not the girl who vaporized a swarm of bugs. The girl who challenged a chaos lord without fear. The girl who had fought Kale and defeated him. This girl doubted herself...This wasn't who he fell for.
She was obviously dead and buried.
Kale's words were harsh and full of pain. He left the kid with Jenny.
