Raven's Watch Can't Fight The Temptation

"Not really," Sarah retorted, because she had kept her distance from the mountains all her life, preferring solid ground and forests to the heights. They were not trustworthy and this unwanted adventure had proved a point.

She kept the awkward silence going for the next fifteen minutes or so, watching her step and deciding early that looking down would not help her a great deal. The heights did not scare her, the fall and the inevitable thud were the ones, which made her limbs weak and her heart flutter like a bird trapped in a cage.

There were no other distractions around and the more she tried not to think about the distance from here to the ground, the more her mind did occupy itself with all the unwelcome scenarious. And despite her dislike for small-talk, she broke under the pressure and dire need for a distraction. "Where did you say you were from?" she asked him, a hint of politeness, diluted in desperation in her voice.
