Elias stiffened at Connor's sudden movement. The man barked orders and leaped into the ravine separating them from the action. Elias watched, deadpan, while the man foolishly scrambled over the rails. Tehya gasped when he fell, but the suction of air rustling his coat gave Eli more worry than potential electrocution. Strangely, with the rush a shiver tangled cold fingers beneath the sheer cloth of his shirt. His chest pebbled with a chill that would not relent.

Eli stretched out a hand, like he might block her if she tried, and with the gesture came a shake of the head. "It's not worth it,"
he said, but then turned to watch what stage was soon to be revealed.
