✵ ✵ ✵

Unfortunately, the bounty hunters weren’t the only ones to accost me. No sooner had I sat down at a nearby table, hoping for a quiet meal, than I was interrupted again.

This time by the twins.

“What did they want?” Teresa whispered as the pair slipped uninvited into the chairs across from me.

Folding my arms, I glared at her. “I want supper.”

Teresa waved a hand airily. “It’s on the way.” She glanced over her shoulder at the bounty hunters’ table. Nursing their drinks, the four did not look over.

“Saya said they’re bounty hunters,” Teresa said. “That true?”

Before I could respond, Terence chipped in. “You think they’ll apprentice us?”

“No,” I replied succinctly.

The pair exchanged puzzled glances, no doubt confused by who I was answering. I almost smiled but managed to keep my scowl in place. I did not want to encourage them to linger.

Unfortunately, the pair were not so easily daunted. “Saya has told us a lot about you,” Teresa said, changing tack without skipping a beat.

I said nothing.

“We want to come with you,” Terence added.

That drew my attention. Did everyone know where I was going? “I’m not going anywhere,” I said mildly.

“Your backpack suggests otherwise,” he replied promptly. “You wouldn’t have it with you unless you planned to venture out. We don’t care wherever it is you’re going; we just want to tag along.”

I snorted. “You two don’t have enough levels under your belt. It’s too—”

“From what Saya tells us,” Teresa cut in, “you were much the same level when you first entered this sector.”

I glanced at her. “The valley was a very different place then. Now it’s a war zone. You will be in—”

“We know all about how dangerous the valley is,” Terence said, rolling his eyes. “We’ve died out there twice already.”

I stared at him. “Twice? How many lives do you have remaining?”

“Idiot,” Teresa hissed at her twin. “Why’d you have to tell him that?”

That answered my question. “You two are on your last lives,” I accused, “and you still want to leave the village—at night?”

How reckless could they be?

Teresa scowled. “Look, we’re both more than grateful for all Saya’s help, but sitting here, we’re not gaining any levels. It will always be too dangerous for us to venture out. Day or night.” She bit her lip. “But if you help us—just for a few levels, mind you—we’ll take it from there. “

I shook my head. “I won’t be responsible for you two dying out there. What I attempt is too—”

“Just once,” Terence said, staring at me beseechingly. “We won’t bother you again. Promise.”

I was drearily tired of being interrupted, but I let the interruption go unremarked.

“Take us,” Teresa pleaded.

“No.”

The girl clenched her hands into fists. “Why?”

I held back a sigh. The twins didn’t seem like they were going to give up, and once more, I recalled how much I needed allies to rebuild House Wolf. But tonight’s work was too grim for the pair. They deserved a chance, though, and my help, too, if only to repay the debt I owed them for aiding Saya.
