Discretion is the Better Part of Valour
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 24691
|
Fred had solved one riddle - of what Eritraea was carrying that the
brigands had wanted so badly - but he was now left with another: what did
she want the dragon's egg for? However the thought of what she might be
capable of doing to his comparatively weak female body if she was angry
enough strongly suggested that he should not tell her what he had done.
His curiosity would therefore have to go unsatisfied for the time being.
If they were going
to spend a considerable time travelling together, perhaps sooner or later
she would let something slip. She might even eventually grow to trust him
enough to tell him willingly.
So he carefully wrapped up the egg again in the piece of satin and replaced it in the pack. The remainder of his watch passed uneventfully, and when he estimated that the specified time had passed he woke up Eritraea to take her turn. He noticed that she immediately glanced over at her pack.
