[Stupid questions... The old taunt still stings, harsher than it ought. Sheska follows along obediently, quiet and withdrawn. Julie hadn't told her why she was even out here when apparently she shouldn't be, but that was probably another dumb question. Who had that little boy been, once? A friend? ....a brother? Speaking of questions she wasn't going to ask.]

Sorry. I'll keep up.

[She does, however, start keeping a closer eye out. If these... people? creatures? could sneak up on people who were already well-trained and used to this environment, how much more danger was Julie in hauling her around?]
