Squatting close beside the bed, cradling the thin hand of her first friend, she raised her head at the call, shifted in place, and winced as her bulk caused the bed to rock. All but one of Gateway's inhabitants called her Nonee, and had for long enough she'd accepted it as her name. It wasn't the name she'd given herself, but other people wore the names they'd been given, why shouldn't she? Only Arianna refused to use it."Nonee!" The timbre of Darny's voice changed as he entered the herbarium and grew louder as he approached the private rooms at the back. "Nonee! They're coming!" He rocked to a halt in the open doorway. "Oh. I forgot. Is she dead?""No." Barely louder than her labored breathing, Arianna's voice held as much conviction as it ever had. "I'm not."Not yet. Nonee carefully tightened her grip around loose skin and swollen joints, holding on. Not ever, had there actually been gods who listened.Darny kicked the threshold. "Sorry, Healer. Sorry, Nonee.

She needed . . . She shook her head. She needed to be here, but she also needed information. There'd been four of them the last time. This time . . . What if they'd come with an army? What if there'd been enough change at the other end of the road that they'd come to try and dig destruction out of the ruins?This was not the time!Arianna nodded when Nonee's gaze returned to her face and her slack lips twitched, the closest she could come to a smile. "I'm not . . . not going anywhere yet."She searched for a clever response, something Arianna could answer with wit or sarcasm, a moment's banter to delay the inevitable, but Arianna had too few words left to waste any on foolishness. "How many?" she asked Darny without turning."Seven riding. Four in leather and scale, two in fancy clothes, with like embroidery and stuff. The
