She gave a single laugh, a ‘ha!’ “I’m not malicious. We need her… abilities.”

"I don't think..." Nameless trailed off, looking at Haly. "Sorry, I should have asked earlier. Do you want to go with your sister? If you do, feel free to go. Otherwise..." Nameless shrugged. "I guess we'll see how nice your sister is."

"I will wait and see." Shark said, anxious. "I will see what Haly wants to do! I want to go with Haly because I am a fierce and ferocious bunny helper!"

“NO!” She cleared her throat. “I mean, no, thanks.”

Sykel’s jaw tightened. “Evalyn…”

”Later. After the tower.”

Her sister breathed out very slowly. “Evalyn.”

Haly looked back insistently.

"You won't force her to do anything," TAAron put in. "I would know. I tried."

Sykel’s mouth twitched. “She’s changed, then.”

Haly swallowed hard. “I’m not going until TAAron’s safe.”

"She gave you your answer, Sykel. Feel free to help us, if you want her help quicker."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Shark said. "Do not take Haly now or I will be very mad and eat you very ferociously because I am very strong and dubious!" He yelled, unaware that nobody was really paying him any attention.

She bent down and petted him, smiling patronizingly.

TAAron looked very uncomfortable. "Not that you, uh, should, necessarily."

He doesn't like the idea of more people risking their lives for him.

”NO.”

"Nothing. I just don't like people talking about making my friends do something against their will." Can she sense saidin? Or is she just a good read on emotions. Storms, I hate fighting people with mysterious powers.

"Fine. Just be aware that you definitely might die. Nameless, are we going to..." TAAron's eyes unfocused, then he fell over into Haly, who he had been leaning on.

Shark leapt up immediately. "What is going on here! What did you do to the hurt guy? I will stay here and fight this badguy while you go into the tower! I will win because I am a ferocious bunny rabbit!"

Haly yelped, then crouched and laid him on the floor with a grunt. “Guys, we need to get going. NOW.”

"Fine with me." A gateway split the air behind Nameless, revealing a massive metal tower without doors or windows situated near a peaceful river.

Haly carefully scooped TAAron into her arms and stepped through the gateway. Sykel sprinted over and followed her.

In a semi-unconscious stupor, TAAron muttered, "I don't want to die. Not yet. Please, not yet. Can't do that to her."

“Who?” She whispered. “TAAron, who?” She realized she was holding him and her heart rate increased slightly.

Behind her, Sykel chortled.

"Haly. It might... might hurt her."

Something happened in Haly’s chest—a leap, a break, the start of a sob, something. “I need to make sure you’ll be all right,” she choked. “How can you not see that? It would break my heart to leave you now.”
