Maahes still didn't know why Boris was being held by Bo - or why his skin was suddenly so burned - but he pushed aside his confusion. He had to focus on the bigger picture.
"There's no need to sacrifice yourself," Maahes said with a shake of his head. "I don't know what happened while we were gone, but we already have a solution. It's what you did when I showed up."
"...I don't like where this is going," Codix muttered.
Maahes gave him an apologetic smile. "We already look like wraiths, so all we have to do is pretending that we're escorting the others. Everyone but Nadira is injured, so we can probably get away with not having restraints."
Codix sighed and held Nadira a little tighter.
Nadira, meanwhile, reached a hand up to give him a comforting pat on the head.
