The warlords, maybe, but I think something beyond even them. Something else brought us here. And we are here. We're here, and--"
He hesitated, his brow furrowing, before he sat up a little straighter again and ran a hand through his hair.
"... I've got two paths in front of me. Yeah? The first is one or both of us don't survive this, which isn't something I even want to think about. But the second--" He hesitated, his voice trailing off.
