With Desperate Tears

The troublesome girl watches on as he eats, smiling for whatever reason. He almost snaps at her, but can't find the energy to do so. Instead, he asks, "So what happened, while I was out?"

"Nothing much. A few wild animals were eyeing us, but I scared them off," she says, puffing her chest with pride.

He wants to laugh. /She/ scared them off? But there is truth in that claim, for they are alive still. And she did slay Humbaba. This girl packs more punch than he first thought, but he won't admit it to her.

"We're not in Granarkus anymore," he notes.

She shakes her head. "No..."

"Do you know where we are?"

She shakes her head again, looking like she is afraid he would scold her. "Not really. But the guardians will find us soon. Right?"

Right. The guardians. Four days are almost gone, just like that. "Mhm."

"I'm sorry."
