The two dark-pelted girls sat in silence, lost in their own thoughts. She kept her eyes trained on Qilaq, though not in an intense way, more a casual manner that drifted as much over daydreams as it did the lines of her body. Where had she come from? What had happened to her?

Are you comfortable here? Can I do anything for you? Lily asked after a short time. She had the feeling that the girl wanted her to leave her alone.
