22: Brice
Brice
The truth was, Brice didn’t have anything to follow up. He simply wanted out of the Proteus.
No. He wanted to be away from the others. Before he said or did something he’d regret. Especially with the way Piran went on. Wasn’t Ryann supposed to keep him in order?
She wasn’t a commander, though. Just the oldest of them, had the most experience. Didn’t mean she could lead. Not successfully. The rate she was going, she’d lead them all back to Kaiahive. Or get them bound to Fay, more than they were already.
And then there was Keelin. And Deva. And…
He shook the thoughts from his mind. And the idea rose again—he didn’t need them. He’d be better off on his own. He’d be fine, wouldn’t he? Half the time Ryann had him baby-sitting Piran, which meant she knew he was competent.
