Ali Baba looked up at the moonless sky, trying to busy his mind from the worries that had gripped it.
He didn't doubt Sindbad's words and his will not to put Zarqa in the line of danger. But what about the girl herself?
What if there was no other way? What if they were running out of time? Their journey still depended on Shula after all. Without her, it would be all for nothing.
He looked back from his seat on the balcony railing to the girl sitting at the table. She would never accept it and won't hesitate to do whatever it takes to continue the journey, even if it meant putting herself in danger.
Zarqa for her part didn't seem to feel his gaze on her, she was rather preoccupied with something and frowning at it.
That got him curious.
" What are you doing?" He hopped off and made for her.
