Ford laughed incredulously. The stress of the journey was getting through to him. Was his mind breaking under it all, or was he simply that relieved that Mia hadn't lost her spunk?
"You're absolutely ludicrous," He told her, earning a mild look of disapproval from Anaisa.
Mia blinked at him and tried to sit up. Reflexively, he put an arm beneath her shoulders to help her, grimacing and avoiding Seth's gaze.
As soon as she was stable, Ford withdrew, keeping his eyes away from Mia's father.
"I am not ludicrous," She defended herself.
"Aren't you? How long have you been unconscious? Do you even know? Do you know what time it is, or how much distance we could make before having to rest again? How long you'll last before you run out of magic and leave us stranded somewhere less sheltered than we are now? Grow up a little, Mia, and know your limitations. You're not invincible."
