K'aijeen didn't resist Thal. She curled up when he lifted her, laying her head against his chest. Her arms remained over her head, hiding her wound. She continued to shake.
A roar shook over the water. The sand drakes looked up at Baoht Zuqqa Roh's command, were still for a moment, and then moved to his side. The abandoned they half-eaten corpse of their fellow. Most of the heavy meat had been eaten away, allowing it to float, and it bobbed lazily in a mess of pink and brown gore. Blood and tendrils of flesh hung from the maws of the survivors as they followed Baoht Zuqqa Roh, who paced around the pool fishing out discarded discarded metal shafts and slipping them back into the massive quiver on his back. "You should leave her. If I were weak enough to be so easily defeated, my drakes would not drag me to safety. They would eat me and return to their feral ways. They would be right to do so."
