He let out a low breath at the confirmation, eyes brightening until the warrior turned away. As Kade approached the remaining slaver all the expression drained out of his face, replaced by numb anticipation. His shot should have been better. The woman's keening continued until Kade stooped over her.
Sid froze as he watched the woman slaver's quiet death. For a few seconds there was no sound but the drone of insects, a harsh snort from the horse. He couldn't see Kade's face, but the pause and the set of his shoulders said a lot.
When the warrior turned back to him he blinked, jolting back into motion. Started picking at the interwoven mess around him again.
His instinctive answer was 'no', but this was taking longer than he'd thought. Hopefully his bow was alright - one of the weights was looped through the gap between arms and strings.The weights swung against him whenever he tried moving, thumped against the fresh bruises. There was a piece of hair he couldn't get out of his mouth, which was somehow just as annoying. He gave up quickly. His eyes flit back up, took in the knife.
"Please?" he said, equally grateful and embarrassed.
While the other man started to cut he found himself staring at the bodies again, bit his lip.
"Maybe we saved that poor bastard they were chasing," he said, eventually. "I don't... get it."
