Ayla and Tarek found Elif and Murat near the work area. Elif and Murat showed that they were not carrying weapons, and Ayla told the others to keep watch over the strangers instead of attacking them.
The couple tried to explain that they had come from very far away, but they could not fully describe time travel in the language people there used. So they relied on simple gestures and on their shared needs to ask for food and safety.
Ayla gave them water and a place near the camp. Tarek warned them not to interfere with the builders, and Elif and Murat agreed to watch and learn first.
As they stayed there, the couple noticed stones with carved shapes and signs of repeated planning. They decided to study the site carefully, because this might be a chance that would not come again.
