Ezra just stared as he started to speak, barely hearing him. She looked up when he said that he could accompany her without the witch knowing. "Can we? You can make it so she can only see or sense me coming without you?" she asked. That would be amazing. She was left with almost an impossible choice otherwise. If he couldn't cloak himself, she would have to go back alone. So then they would all be stuck there. She wasn't going to risk her not killing her family immediately if she went back with Zugos. She wouldn't subject them to torture anyway.

"Let's do that," she said. "How are you going to make sure she doesn't know?" She knew he was strong enough to. She didn't think of it when she read the letter though. She thought she just had two options. However... to escape this witch's gaze. It was going to take a lot of magic and energy wasn't it? She hoped it wasn't too much trouble.
