“Haelar,” she croaked, not looking back at him as she continued scratching at her face.

"Haelar?" He frowned. "God of death, not god of life? They both asleep anyhow. No point praying."
"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." -Karis Nemik
She hesitated. She supposed he had a point about the whole god of death thing. “…They’re waking up soon… I thought he might help… but he didn’t.”

"He sleep," Rönn said with a shrug. "Gods never help, even when awake."

"We move him now." Rönn stood, cradling Tomhas. "But it long walk back."

Ky nodded, mechanically standing up. “You can go ahead; get him back faster than I can move. I’ll be okay.”

"You stay with me. Hop on back." He bent down. "I go fast with two, do not worry."

“…Are you sure?” She asked hesitantly, but obediently stepped towards him.

"Before I become goat I carry bull elk twenty mile to camp. Now I even stronger."

Ky nodded. “Okay… but if I get too heavy you have to put me down and take care of him first, okay?”
She wasn’t going to put up much of a fight, though. Sunlight was already beginning to dwindle and alone in the forest at night with no coat or protection was not where she wanted to find herself. Much better to stay with Rönn and get back sooner.

She hesitated, then climbed on his back and held on tightly.

He straightened and trudged through the snow toward the Keep.

She tensed when he stood, not used to being up so high, but held on for dear life. She closed her eyes and focused on breathing slowly, trying to stay calm. She’d need to be able to carry Tomhas inside and explain to Sera what happened once they got there. She needed to be ready.
