They struggled up, horribly soiled. But at least they were not hurt by the fall, and had escaped the eye of the despot"s familiar.

"Where can we go?" Darius asked, controlling his revulsion of the dung in much the fashion he had controlled his appreciation of Nona"s body before.
Colene is now in range, Seqir
