I leaned down and slid my arms under her legs and back. When I straightened Reyas was cradled in my arms, but she did not protest she placed her arm over my shoulder and her hand on the back of my neck.

"I can walk," she said softly.

I ignored her and swung around. "Where to?" I asked anyone and everyone.

"We have a guild hall," Ailen said.

"We do? Great," I said and smiled. "Lead the way."

"We had to pay for it," Sakaala said.

Ailen led the way through the winding streets and I followed.

"They made us," she said while she skipped to keep up with me.

I peered at her. "I thought you were an expert negotiator. Tell them to get fucked."
