Shrinking back against the building as far as he could, Kyriel tried not to make any noise, move, or breathe. It was obvious that the Drow knew that he was still there, but Kyriel seriously disliked the idea of surrendering himself over to his foe.

Kyriel just felt annoyed at his demand for thanks. The way it was said rather discouraged him from doing it. He now especially felt that he should run, but he still did not really want to. Might as well let the guy find him rather than use up energy to try running. Folding his arms over his chest, he let out a sigh. This was stupid. He hated being here. Why could he not just stay at home and learn from his parents...?

More tears were starting to form, which Kyriel furiously tried to wipe away. It was bad enough that the Drow was going to find him, he should not allow him the pleasure of laughing at his tears.
