…can’t open my eyes. Or perhaps I just can’t summon the will to do so. The night air is cold, but his body armor is smooth and warm, so I’m drawn toward it, huddling against him as he carries me. There’s a low, thudding sound, maybe my heart, maybe his…

…

…

…

…eyes closed, it feels like he’s spinning me around in circles. Fingers and toes tingling, muscles relaxed. Without question, I’ve been drugged…

…

…

…

…foot’s throbbing, but it’s more like pressure, as if I have a rock in my boot. Right now it feels like it’s a million miles away. In the haze of my delirium, nothing much hurts. Just want to feel warm. Snake my arms around him, snuggling closer, letting his heat seep into my body…

…

…thoughts of a wirewitch, a warlock, and a modie flitter through my consciousness. I should know their names, but I don’t. The part of me that knows I’m dreaming tries to recall their faces, but it’s like trying to grab motes of dust out of the air…

“You really should have listened to me,” he says, those red lines on his body flaring.

Can feel him moving my body until I’m flat on my back, my legs together, my arms at my sides. He stands directly over me, one leg on either side of my thighs.

Every time I blink, the world around me comes a little more into focus, but all I really care about is Calamity Carl and what he’s about to do.

What he does is go down on his knees. Though he’s straddling me, he’s not actually touching me. I want to struggle, to wriggle out from under him, but whatever he drugged me with is still in effect. He can do whatever he wants to me, and there isn’t a damn thing I can do about it.

His crown teeters on his head, one small shake from tipping off as he leans down, a single finger wagging in my vision. “We’re going to spend a few days together, and it’s not going to be fun for either of us. Best to get started on the unpleasantries while you’re still compliant.”
