"Come on," Baerd said again
They had to cross the streamThe icy cold water drove all the sleep out of DevinHe gasped with the shock of it
"I'm sorry," Baerd said"I'd have done it alone, but I don't know how far away he is or what else is out here in this countryAlessan wants him back in camp before he revivesIt made sense to have two men
"No, no, that's fine," Devin protestedHis teeth were chattering
"I suppose I could have woken the old Duke from his restOr Catriana could have helped me
"What? No, really, Baerd
He stopped,
