Before Inigo even finishes the end of his sentence, Roland is already pulling him into a hug, almost as close and tight as the one he gave him the first day they arrived.

Don't. Don't do this to me. You promised not to leave my side.

Inigo, I'm asking you now. Take a rest. Thirty minutes. Nap in my tent, I'll wake you up. I promise. Just...Just don't go out alone. Please.
