Fossil stared at the warrior in disbelief. It was patently ridiculous! Fossil had no idea who this man was. He could work for Lorsoul for all she knew. Given the number of soldiers he had killed it seemed unlikely, but Red Leopards didn't take that kind of risk. There was no way in hell, heaven, or earth that she would take all these clearly untrustworthy people to her 'superiors'.<br/><br/>Sinking against the mast of the ship, Fossil told herself that she had to behave as if she had been arrested by Lorsoul's forces. No talking, no eye contact. Maybe this bloodthirsty stranger was an ally. It was hard to believe when he was content to keep her shackled. But the princess certainly wasn't to be trusted, and that nymph was a soldier for crying out loud! More and more this was seeming like a poison locket solution situation again. But then they'd have the envelope. That blasted envelope. Fossil didn't even know what was in it and it was starting to feel heavy in the secret pocket again. She glanced around. If anyone started to interrogate her, she decided, she would throw herself off the side of the boat. It would mean drowning in the cool blue waters, but they wouldn't get the envelope and they wouldn't learn anything from her. In the mean time, she watched the sail fill and take the strange group away from the ongoing riot.
