"What do you think you're doing?!" Hian shouts as Nikhil comes out of the forest. He flinches back. "I - I wanted to come too..." "Where's Ulin?" "She went home! She's fine!" "Unless she tripped and hurt herself! Or the donkey escaped! There was a reason you were supposed to stay together!" Nikhil cringes in the face of her fury. "I - I'm sorry! I can go..." "Don't be stupid!" Hian pushes past him and starts on her way down the hill. "She'll be home by now, and if not, Shrey knows to look for her. You stay with me so I can keep an eye on you!" Nikhil trails after her miserably.
