Taurion heard the girl humming a bit. He almost smiled to himself, but then stopped himself. She was probably still in pain. He felt himself turn and look at her.
All of a sudden, she looked back. Taurion looked into her eyes for a second. The eyes were so young and innocent. He held the gaze for a second, then quickly turned away. She was so young-looking, how was it possible that any could let her out of her home? Why did her parents not guard her and the wild spirit she seemed to possess until she was of the age where she could defend herself with the trouble that the spirit would and did get her into.
Taurion pointedly did not look at the girl, worried she would look back, and continued to ride on, disturbingly silent.
