Chapter 29: What They Choose Together
The screened sleeping space was already lit.
Lucien stood at the curtain with his good hand on the tie.
'The outer watch is mine unless you tell me otherwise,' he said.
He did not say it as a prince. He said it the way a man asks for something and expects to be refused.
Aquas sat on the pallet and looked at him.
All day the man had walked one step behind him with an arrow wound in his shoulder and a shadow that would not answer him.
All day he had asked for nothing.
'You want the outer watch,' Aquas said. 'Or you want the curtain.'
Lucien's jaw moved once. 'I want to be where you are. The watch is what I have to trade for it.'
'Then don't trade,' Aquas said. 'Come here.'
Lucien did not move.
'Come here,' Aquas said again, softer. 'I'm not sending you out there.'
