"I didn't wake up early just to pussy-foot before we leave. Come on," she said, turning her dappled almond-colored body to present her side to him. She had a crossbow and quiver slung to her back, and carried a spear in her hands.

Messia advanced and struck the male scout in the head with the butt of her spear like it was a broom.

"Right on time. I like that."
