"Set camp here, Vir," Servelis ordered briskly, eying the opening. "We'll stay here tonight."

"Stay here? But it's so clo--" Fera's furious protest was cut off but Servelis cool voice.

"I'm the leader here, Fera. If you'd like we can discuss this later, in my tent."

Fera pressed her lips together and glared; Manie shrunk in the saddle of his little beast and prayed she didn't turn on him.

"Set camp," Servelis told Vir again. Vir nodded and turned his mare towards the few with them, beginning to bark short precise orders.

"You'll see me tonight," Fera growled under her breath as she turned past Manie. "Or maybe you won't."
