And Sky didn’t do anything.”“Shoulda killed him,” Standing Bear agreed, almost viciously.“And now they’re going off together as if they are best friends,” Snow snorted.“Not friends,” Stone disagreed, sounding reluctant. “Sky didn’t smell like that man was a friend.”Paint raised a hand.

Taye expects us to keep Rose safe.”Others growled agreement. Paint let them complain a while longer to get it out of their systems before speaking again.
