I would remain nearer you for what time there is. Gone in one faerie sigh, she quoted. Leather-clad fingers brushed over her short hair, rested on her cheek. I can hold my breath.

A stray dog, I might understand, she said. But this? You are too softhearted. No, Mabry, Ravus said. I am not. He looked in Val's direction. I think she wants to die. Maybe you can help her after all, Mabry said. You're good at helping people die.
