The bloody smell in the Stone Chamber finally dissipated.
Six people sat around the fire, silently roasting it.
After an unknown amount of time, Du Lai spoke, "When do we leave?"
Originally the most patient of them all, he was now incredibly anxious, wanting nothing more than to leave as soon as possible.
"Wait until Mark wakes up," Bai Youwei said softly, "or you can carry him."
Du Lai smiled coolly, "I'm afraid that if he wakes up halfway, he might bite through my neck."
Bai Youwei thought for a moment, then took something out of her bag and put it on the unconscious Mark.
Du Lai asked, "What is that?"
"A dog collar," Bai Youwei said, head lowered as she fastened the leather band tightly.
[Pet Collar: Wearing the collar doesn't necessarily make one obedient, but at least it can stop attacks, lasting until the collar is removed.]
