The man made her blush at every turn, his comment indicated she owed him something for not telling others. Surely he didn't imply that, what use would it be, she was nothing. She let the thought go, there were other things to worry about.
Three months. Sierra couldn't help the response. "You've been out here for three months?"
She laughed, "What did you escape from, some posh five star resort where your kidnappers kept you? You smell as fresh as someone who showered only just this... "
Sierra clamped her mouth shut the moment she realized what she was saying. What the hell! She was giving away far too many secrets to these two men. Far too many, her golden eyes being the least of her worries.
Sierra reached out for the calm of the wolves, and she only found the energetic sendings of the pup she'd met before, he was still warning her with images of men and snakes popping into the opening. Sierra laughed, "It's not like you can just pop out of thin air into a forest."
But why couldn't he? Mr. Donavan had walked across the water... Why couldn't he just pop into existence like some magician on stage?
Elias had answered his question, yet another secret revealed. The shot was near impossible for someone without her enhanced sight or her honed archery skills, but when you live in the middle of nowhere for as long as she had, you learn a few esoteric things. Bows had been her second favorite thing to shoot, her camera being the first. As if the comment reminded her, Sierra unstrung her bow and wound the string back to its spool in her pocket, it was idle work for idle hands while they discussed the newness of their meetings. "We've only just met, this river seeming to be a beacon of sorts."
