Chapter 293: The Fourth Cot
Taweel and Tamaes flanked Valerian as they aimed for the Overseer���s tent. Flowing cloth and four cots. Their home.
Outside, Valerian stopped short and stood so long, Taweel gripped his shoulder. ���Fear not. We are with you.���
���I know it.��� Briefly touching the second earring Taweel had bestowed, Valerian said, ���I shall want my harp.���
Tamaes quietly asked, ���Would you like me to bring it?���
���Please.��� Dredging up a wan smile, Valerian admitted, ���I do not think I can face that empty cot.���
���I will go,��� Tamaes murmured, ducking through the opening.
But Adin���s cot wasn���t empty. Far from it.
