K'aijeen pressed her face against Thal's skin, her eyes closed, and made a small helpless sound. The dust around them had begun to disperse. More bolts thudded into the dirt around them. Fewer this time. K'aijeen flinched and tugged on Thal.
K'ile backed away from them. "The longer you drag me around the longer they'll chase you. They've got plans that need me alive."
