"Fear is good," Sean told me. "Too much fear isn't good," Arland said. "Don't worry, I'll be there." Sean put his hand on my arm and stopped, letting Arland go forward a few steps. He leaned to me and said quietly, "Don't count on him or on me. If things don't go well, you turn around, run back to the house, and let the inn guns blow that bastard to pieces if he follows. I left my parents' number on your kitchen table. Call them if something happens. They'll help."
I love Arland, but Sean is practical, not flowery. He protects Dina with information and plans ahead in case the worse should happen. It shows a deeper caring.
