"Where are we going?" Kayi asked again.
"We're tracking down Kayalie's Clan Sharhart. They're speedy travellers, but they didn't bother covering their tracks," Layla said.
"Oh."
Walking, walking.
Walking, walking.
Walking, walking.
Walking, walking.
"When do you think we'll reach them?" Kayi asked.
Walking, walking.
"Maybe two moons.
Walking, walking.
"They're fast, aren't they?"
"Sstarkin, make your little girl sshut up!" someone yelled, who Kayi assumed to be Dasmon.
"Kayi, Layla's had her share of talking. Jusst talk to Bruno when you want to know ssomething," Starkin said. And to Dasmon, he snapped, "She's not my little girl, I'm just her bodyguard!"
Kayi shut up.
Layla looked relieved a bit happier.
Dasmon didn't bother rebutting.
Walking, walking.
Walking, walking.
The sun was setting in the sky by the time Bruno suddenly stopped.
"Wait."
Kayi's keen hearing picked up footsteps-a clan. Layla could judge where they were and where they were headed- at this rate, there would be an engagement, the older Assassin had reported.
"Get ready to engage, kupo!" Carlos said happily but nervously.
