"Thea, you need to rest," Arthur insists.
Theo looks at Arthur. "I know. I agree. Completely."
Then his expression hardens. "But, Arthur." He holds Arthur's gaze, deadly serious.
"I can't. I need to teach you how to protect yourselves. It's not ideal. Not at all. But if we don't hurry, those people are going to be permanently impaired."
They all freeze at that.
Maeve steps forward. "Thea, come to the tent first. You can teach us there and tell us what the dungeon is like."
Liam nods. "Yeah. And tell us what we need to do."
Theo takes a slow breath.
"Okay. Let's go to the tent. I have to tell you anyway."
He turns and starts walking, but after only a few steps, he falters.
"Whoa." Maeve immediately grabs him.
When he starts moving again, she does not let go.
Liam moves to his other side, close enough to catch him if he stumbles again.
