Ciaran eyed the mark pressed into the back of Caleb's hand, an ill reminder of the slaying done by his will. Ciaran had often thought about what would've been if he'd followed his friends into the ice caverns to confront King. Would Sinead be here now? Would she be under the same curse? No - this wasn't the time, there was little value in imagining what could've been in another time. Such thoughts were for the grave, and Ciaran was patient. "When we find him, I'll nail the bastard to our bow, captain."
Reassurance, sometimes it was the best you could do. He wanted Caleb to know he'd follow him no matter what he chose, even if it wasn't what Ciaran wanted - hell, what did he want? Either way they were cooked. They needed to come together, only as a full crew could they find a compromise and find a way for everyone to get out of this alive.
Lucien and Nessa certainly had the skillset, but cultivating their motivation was another matter. The last time he'd seen Lucien was through the sights of his scattergun as he and Emryk tore each other apart on the Leimor docks. "Aye, I'll bring her. Nessa too?"
With his captain's response, he left for the clinic. Ciaran imagined he'd find Alys there, or someone who knew where she might be. Hearing voices mid conversation on the other side, he waited a moment then gave the door a hardy knock.
