"Walk with me a little, to where we can see the road." She led him away from the firelight and sought out the thin winding strip of the caravan trail below. "I have had to accept the help of beings that are simple and savage," Saashala remarks to him quietly, looking at the road intently. "I believe we have that in common, you and I. Now I do not know what you want from your existence, but I assume you wish it to continue, at least for the moment. My companions see you as a waste of time at best, or a liability."
