When we start walking again, I fight against the need to rest. It was so hot and there wasn't a single tree to hide under. They were all dead! Nothing but sticks! I look up at the blood-red sky, looking for the source of evil when a large hand suddenly covers my eyes.
I freeze and reach up to Thane's hand as he says "Don't look at it... it messes with your eyes." I feel my heart skip again as I slightly nod. He slowly moves his hand away and I'm left looking up into his eyes.
He looks into my eyes as he says "There's no sun, I've checked." My eyes remain locked on his, feeling myself grow numb. How many horrible things have happened to this man? I feel his fingers tracing my jaw again as he softly says "You always did show your emotions in those grey eyes of yours..."
