“Greer led those men against us,” Jorg said. “He wasn’t among their injured or dead, so he’ll be back.”

Ingrid was exhausted but had finally settled down to eat and rest after they’d found a safer, more defensible area for the night. She glanced over to Plintze, a sense of relief spilling over her that he was back and safe.

“I’m sure he will.” The words were quiet and left to fade into the air. Deciding how to deal with Greer when he came after her again was a conversation for tomorrow.

A peaceful quietness wrapped around the three of them. There was too much silence. Ingrid twisted around searching the other fires with suspicion.

“Where is Selby?”

“I’m sure she’ll show up.” A playful grin tugged on Jorg’s mouth that he tried to hide.

“Humph.”

Before Ingrid could question the two, who seemed to be enjoying a secret, Lazuli zipped through the air and stood in front of Jorg, startling all of them.

“Are you an elf? You kind of look like one,” Lazuli said. Her eyes narrowed, and in a blink of an eye, she was in the air hovering near his ear.

“Whoa!” He leaned back and scowled as he waved her away. “You don’t just fly into someone’s face like that.”

Lazuli closed her eyes and sniffed long, loud, and dramatically before she buzzed back to stand by Plintze. “You smell like an elf. Are you a halfling?”

“Lazuli, that’s terrible manners,” Ingrid said in a polite voice as if speaking to a small child.

“Why?”

“Well . . .”

“Humans worry about ridiculous things like that,” Plintze said.

“Why are you worried? You are a halfling!” Lazuli’s eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands together. “I’ve never met one of those. You would be my first.” Again, she flew over into Jorg’s space and flitted all around him as if she were inspecting a new horse.

“Stop that, or I will tie your wings down,” he said, swatting at her.

“You wouldn’t dare!” She clenched her fists and sneered to let her spiked fangs glisten in the low light before flying away without another word.

When Lazuli returned, her arms were loaded with several blossoms of a white, night-blooming flower. She dumped them in Ingrid’s lap before proceeding to place them into her hair.

“I’ve never seen these flowers before, Lazuli. They are beautiful. Where did you get them?” Ingrid decided it was better to accept the sprites ministrations than decline and make her upset.

Lazuli just hummed and fluttered around Ingrid’s head as she worked without an answer. When Ingrid tried to turn her head to speak again, a strong pull of her hair changed her mind. The little sprite continued to work, buzzing around to the front and back of Ingrid, sometimes scrunching her face as if she were creating a piece of art before resuming her efforts.

What is she doing?

A small jolt of nerves pinched Ingrid as she realized it was the first time she’d used the one-way bond she had with Jorg since her vision. A swift response of pressure
