Rodyn offered to trade in their stead. Masquerade couldn’t think of what they could even offer, regardless of who brought it. He urged her to take her time and think about it, which prompted a grateful exhale. There was no way she could make decisions this weighty on the spot, without consulting Riley.

If you do bring anything to help with our caches, know that we will return the favor as soon as we’re able. Right now, we have to dedicate all our energy and resources to, well, ourselves. Someday, though, I hope to be in a more prosperous position, like him.
