Seaside Moors i got your girl on the back going tandem

She was battered, bruised and frightened, but having Tristan beside her grounded her. Fussing over him provided a distraction whenever she thought about the previous night's alarming events or cast her silver eyes out to the ocean, where the tide still remained ominously distant. Bat felt responsible for his broken ankle and worried about what might happen if the tremors returned and he couldn't run. But they were together, side by side, like they were meant to be. And no matter what else was happening, she drew comfort from that thought, let it center her.

His comment caused one big ear to twitch, her eyes moving from the stranded beach to Tristan's face. She thought of that night, when she'd fallen through the ice and nearly drowned, and shivered slightly. "Nah, man, you can't get rid of me that easily," Bat quipped reassuringly, then added, "If anything like that ever happens again, don't even worry, I'll drag you down with me." She winked.
