With Me

Andrev came back to himself as the sun set - some animal forms cared little for day and night, seeing almost equally well during both. Rastaban sat beside a fire, bed-furs laid out in two pallets, two fish roasting on a spit.

“How long was I out there?”

“All day,” Rastaban said. “You scared most of the local wildlife, I think.”

“Why didn’t you stop me?”

“I wasn’t going to get in the way of a dire wolf.” Rastaban prodded the fire with a stick.

Andrev hunkered down beside him, reached for a fish. “Why did you come with me?”
