"There's no point arguing among ourselves," Denjon interceded. "We've no choice, in any case. We have
to move on. We can sort out the details once Tarja wakes up."

"If he wakes up," Linst added pointedly.

"He will wake up," R'shiel insisted. "And when he does, perhaps you'll decide you have a backbone,
after all, Linst."

She did not wait to hear his answer. She stormed from the tent, a part of her simmering with anger;
another part of her grateful for the excuse to leave. On the way out she collided with young Mikel, the
boy who had followed Adrina from Karien. He squealed in fright at her sudden appearance, landing on
his backside in a puddle of icy mud, dropping the tray he carried. He seemed to do that a lot, she

"No. I'll think of something else." She resumed her angry pace and continued on towards the infirmary.
An icy wind blew across the plain, stirring dust eddies on the scuffed ground and making her ears ache.
She missed her long hair.

"Well, you'd better come up with something quickly," Brak called after her. "It'll take a miracle to turn
that lot and time is of the essence."

He stared at her in confusion. The solution suddenly clear, she ran back, kissed his cheek and hugged
