What Malora did to the kid. He feared mages and soldiers. The young man was a bundle of nerves. He breathed easier and was more relaxed in the privacy of her tent. She scooted her cot closer to his.

He was under the table shaking. Kake felt terrible, "Come out she's gone. I will take you to the brook."
