\u201cThere are about to be about six hours of nasty storms rolling in and you\u2019re out here<\/em>?\u201d<\/p>\n

If it had been anyone else, he probably would have heard them coming.\u00a0 As it was, Astrid Sifsdottir could sneak up on any of them easily and with impunity.\u00a0 He wasn\u2019t sure if it had more to do with who her parents were or how well they\u2019d trained her to do what she did.\u00a0 Few people he\u2019d ever met\u2014save the members of the Wild Hunt\u2014were better scouts and hunters than Astrid.<\/p>\n

Tory glanced back over his shoulder at her and shrugged.\u00a0 \u201cYou\u2019re out here.\u00a0 Guess you\u2019re as crazy as I am.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHa!\u201d\u00a0 She came around the trunk of a tree and joined him on the riverbank, crossing her arms.\u00a0 \u201cOnly because I came looking for you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cReally.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, really.\u201d\u00a0 She regarded him with a piercing, arctic gaze that he was given to understand had come directly from Sif, though he\u2019d never seen it himself.\u00a0 \u201cYou and Anne are off who the hell knows where when strangers show up in town minutes<\/em> after Lin gets jumped by something in the ravines and then all of a sudden you can\u2019t be found anywhere again<\/em>?\u00a0 Seriously, I wanted your read on the whole thing, Lin\u2019s back up at the village and so\u2019s Anne.\u00a0 So where could you be?\u00a0 Here.\u00a0 Where you always come when you want to think.\u00a0 So what do you know?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cToo much and not enough,\u201d he said with a wry smile.\u00a0 \u201cHow long do we have before those storms hit?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAt least an hour.\u00a0 Is that going to be enough time?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t know,\u201d Tory said.\u00a0 \u201cDepends on what you ask.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
