"Alice, you are supposed to be in one of the carriages with the high priest! Are all of you in there crazy enough to keep coming out?" Alice didn't know that the king had come out but she did know that Walker was just worried that she would be in a dangerous position.
In response to him, she pushed her back against his again and used him as a back rest to sit up. "I will walk tomorrow." This was even more of a shock to Walker. He knew that she had trained herself so that she would be able to defend herself if worst came to worst during the journey. But he had believed that she would remain safely in the carriages without any risk to herself.
