She didn't want to delay her return home, yet if she insisting on going now, she might make herself really sick. "Maybe I'll rest near here for the night... or at least for a few hours." She blinked her amber eyes at Luke, as if seeking approval of her plan, then glanced in the caldera's direction with a long sigh.
