"Do you think that's enough to dissuade them?" Henri asked, following Claude's gaze. He doubted he could make his legs move right then, if he had to run again, he would run himself through with Claude's dagger.
Claude moved closer and took Henri's trembling hands in both of his, "You must be cold, I'll light a fire."
