the shadowknife spoke and made for the mountains. muskrat lingered to meet akavir's eye. there was no apology there for her departure, only a softening for the anguish he allowed to lead him around by the nose. "no cure. give poison fast. less pain."
at a lope she followed the swallowed silhouette, feeling very much as she had the first time she had left behind the swamp panthers.
