↱ = being lost with them
“No, no. Um.” Irinushka’s hands trembled, the map held between them quivering in its place. She could feel her partner’s stare driving, cutting into her back. It was dark above them, around them, beneath them. The sun had fallen beneath the canopy of the forest and in the arriving dusk the shadows brushed together and held. This was no quest. There was no reward riding on the completion of this task. But they should have returned before sunset and they hadn’t even reached the objective: the cottage at the mountain base.
Behind her was a full-time member, a rather intimidating member, and she was the recruit. She held the map. She was at fault. Irinushka blinked back welling tears of frustration and rage, all directed at herself. “I...I’m sorry. I’ve gotten us completely lost. I can fix it, though! I can try! I’m sorry.”
