Laila stayed alongside him as they continued down the path. She'd grown used to his limp by now, and was more than happy to stay at his pace. Further into their journey, however, when they were deep in the woods, she started to fall behind. Trying not to bring attention to herself, she attempted to keep up with him. She felt ridiculous - he was the one with the limp. Eventually, she had to stop. "Wait - please! I can't walk any more. Hold on."
