“I want to be free of these tyrannies.” He corrects. “And you’ll be hunted no matter which side of the border you choose to flee to. Why not at least fight for a cause?” He pauses for a second. "For the idea of a country you’d be safe in, and that would keep you from the monsters on either side.
Kasie shifts and pulls out her quiver of arrows, fingering through them. She silently counts them, then puts the quiver back. She walks across the deck, her footsteps silent as she descends into the hold.
