As Stands Strong nodded his head, a masculine scream ripped through the air, followed by the heated words, "Who are you? Where are you? What do you want from me? Bring me back my clothing…my weapons or I'll…I'll…"
No one answered. No one even smiled.
"I'll find you!" yelled Ernest. "I swear I'll find you, and when I do I'll kill you!"
Still no one answered.
Then, gradually, First Rider came up to his knees and crawled toward the opening of their shelter, Liliann following at his heels. Slowly, he turned back and signed, "No, you stay here."
"But, I thought I be goin' with thee. Did we not already talk about this?"
"Too dangerous."
"Thou will not be stoppin' me."
Shaking his head, First Rider nonetheless grinned at her and signed to her, "If you must come, stay behind me."
"Good. I will be doin' it."
