"You know what I fear?" I asked. "I am afraid Joshua wants to go back because he has shown a lot of interest in the shadow earth eater. I wonder what he wants, who he wants to control, what he hopes for." I explained why I believed Joshua's intentions were not simply to hurt us.
"In that case, if he asks for something destructive or for power, we will have to stop him with all our strength," Ian stated, and the hair on the back of my neck stood up.
"Ian, what are you suggesting?" I asked as I watched his face.

"Anyway, did you speak with Yorick about Rocco?" Ian asked, and I shrugged.
We both sat under a tree, with Ian leaning back against the bark, one knee raised.
I had my arm wrapped around that knee, almost sitting on his torso and leaning against him, while he held my other hand.
