He locked his eyes on mine for a moment, then seemed satisfied with the truth of my answer. тАЬYou will
carry a message to him.тАЭ

тАЬNo.тАЭ

He looked at me sharply. тАЬYou heal the enemyтАжтАЭ

I cut him off. тАЬNo. I donтАЩt know who you are, or what you hope to do, but I will not help you.тАЭ

His blue eyes gleamed. His hand moved down to my throat and rested lightly on it. тАЬI could kill you now.
тАЭ

I swallowed hard and closed my eyes. тАЬWho then would take the kavage to Simus?тАЭ

There was a huff of amusement. The hand left my throat, and I felt the heat of his body move away. I
opened my eyes onto an empty alleyway.

I stood for a moment, just breathing, trying to let the feel of my body return to normal. But I could still
feel the weight of him pressed against me, and the warmth of his breath on my cheek. Outside the alley,
traffic ebbed and flowed, and the normal sounds helped me get myself under control. My packages lay at
my feet, and I picked them all up, hoping that none of the bottles and jars had broken. There was still so
much to do and time was wasting. I took a deep breath and started walking.

I was a fool. My cheeks flushed with embarrassment. An ignorant fool. I would talk to Lord Warren as
soon as he was available.

Between the still room activities and helping Eln, it was late before I got to the prisonersтАЩ tent. I yawned
as I took the final part of the path, heading for HeathтАЩs post. I stopped when I got to him, put down my
satchel, sack and jugs, and stretched as high as I could, yawning with my mouth wide open. He smiled. тАЬ
Tired?тАЭ

I grinned and nodded. тАЬAfter this, I go to bedтАж no stops along the way.тАЭ

Heath jerked his head toward the castle. тАЬI heard the horns announce the arrival of the Warlord. Have
you heard anything about the talks?тАЭ

I snorted. тАЬHeath, IтАЩd be the last person anyone would tell. I know that Warren is involved, but thatтАЩs all
I know.тАЭ I sighed and picked up my bundles. I was tired, and the damn brooch was raising a blister on
my ankle. I was frustrated as well, since IтАЩd tried to speak to Lord Warren, but it hadnтАЩt been possible. тАЬ
I hope they went well. ItтАЩs nice not to have more wounded.тАЭ
тАЬAye.тАЭ Heath had that mischievous look in his eye. тАЬYouтАЩll have more ladies of the court looking for
lotions and potions.тАЭ I rolled my eyes, and he chuckled as he lifted the tent flap.

I looked for Rafe when I went in and saw him near SimusтАЩs cot. As I moved through the tent, I could see
that there were more men up and moving about. Although some were shaky and had others assisting
them, they were moving.

тАЬRafe.тАЭ I called a greeting. He, Joden, and the other man, ummmтАж Prest, were near to SimusтАЩs pallet. I
set my parcels down and knelt to look at my patient.
