Nova Peak And she's suddenly cruel

Lycabas snatched his arm back at her snarl, stepping away from her. Sorry, he blurted an apology, blank-faced and now standing back in anxious awkwardness as she continued to gasp.

Can’t get it right every time, pal…

Just be quiet.

Finally, the rhythm of her breathing started to regulate, and she became well enough to curse the mountain for its unpredictability. The boy didn’t know how to react. Yeah, he agreed lamely, sighing heavily as the tension started to leave his body. I thought that was it for both of us.

His bleeding shoulder twitched, and he glanced at it but found that his adrenaline made it so that it did not hurt just then. He looked up at what was left of the broken ledge, eyeballing the distance she had fallen. Definitely would’ve killed someone weaker.
