Chương 95: Together

~ ZEV ~

There was an awkward few minutes where Sasha sat stiffly. She hugged his arm, but her back was against the rocks behind them, and Dunken still stood, watching out of the holes. But she relaxed soon, and while Zev held her hand, he answered her questions.

"Won't they find us if we just sit here?" she whispered.

Dunken snorted and Zev had to fight a smile. "Um, no," he said quietly. "The human senses are… they just aren't as sharp as ours," he said carefully. "They can't follow scents. They have to see things with their eyes—which can't see as far, or in the dark. And they don't hear as much as we do. So, no, unless we do something to draw their attention, they'll never know we're here."

"The humans are sight-blind," Dunken added.

"You said that before," Sasha frowned. "What does that mean? Those words mean the opposite things in my world."
