The moment Dominic walked away I let myself feel how tired I was.
I sat down in the dirt right next to Urdon because my legs were not going to hold me much longer and I let the ground take my weight and stayed there. Everything hurts.
The wounds from the big fight were mostly closed by now but they pulled whenever I moved the wrong way and the months of famine had made everything slower in a way that was hard to put words to. I let my eyes close for just a moment.
"You should have let me handle it," Urdon said.
I opened one eye and looked at him. "You were lying on the ground."
"I could have talked from the ground."
"You were barely breathing from the ground," I said.
