On Guard
Other Elderboughs arrived, and while Torloo’s dad and oldest brother grumbled and fussed over him, Boon pulled Coop to one side. “Okay if I talk to your denmates about bringing you with us to Wardenclave?”
“Dad might think it’s too dangerous.”
“Might be your dad’ll think it’s safer. No skittish trespassers with guns.”
“I for sure want to go.” Coop hesitated. “Am I supposed to cheer Torloo up?”
“Nothing like that. Sad’s only natural. I’m more worried about blame. Help Torloo guard against it.”
“You think he’ll blame himself?”
“No, kid.” Boon’s gaze was steady. “Might be he’ll blame humans.”
