Shadow Blessed (The Shadow Accords book 1)
“As much as she wanted to repair that connection, she struggled. Something had changed for Kel that night, much like something had changed for her.
The small boy Hal brought in stayed on the top bunk. Stiv was the first stray Hal had brought to them since Carth’s arrival. Etan made a point of tormenting him, much as he had tormented Carth during her first days. She wondered if he had done the same with Kel, though the two of them seemed to have something of a friendship now, even if they had... not always. Would she develop the same with Etan over time? The longer she knew him, the less likely it seemed. More and more, Etan seemed mostly interested in disappearing during the day, leaving her and Kel alone.
Even with Kel, Carth remained alone. No longer did he stand along the shadows of the street, watching for targets. He preferred to keep a distance, as if seeing Carth’s willingness to help Jhon had changed something for them.
Worse was that Vera and Hal seemed distant.MoreLess
