I just noticed a very important word in today's comic

[Haven]

I really can't imagine how 'us' could refer to anything except the rest of their party, aside from hair-splitting word-by-word over-analysis.

Well, to start with, it's a really awkward way to phrase it.

Moreover, it requires assuming that Lirian and Dorukan were in touch with Serini and Girard, which, among other problems. a scene from Start of Darkness makes clear that wasn't the case.
