Anna and Jason had waited for the 'all clear' before they stepped out at the first meeting point, looking towards the mountain as they pressed the detonators to blow the menagerie up.
Later, they met with the others in Jackie's realm, taking advantage of it's hidden nature for a safe place to keep the new ones and to talk to one another.

Aurora worked on the lock, trying to pick it to free Aeval from it.
The meeting was a solemn one despite their success. Synastry and uncertainty of their friend's disappearance, hung the air and affected the morel. Zypher looked to Anna as he took her hand in his own as they listened to the others talk quietly among themselves.

Aeval held still and stared blankly as she concentrated upon the soft sounds that Aurora generated. So the the unexpected shock surged through the collar took her completely off guard.
