Still, the only way to make him slow down would be to play on her own injuries, and she isn't about to do that and risk him thinking her weak -- or, worse, with his newfound urgency, decide to leave her behind. She'd been the one to offer to look for herself, but now she has the feeling that leaving him alone right now is a terrible idea.
Her ankle throbs painfully with the higher impact from their faster steps, but she just presses her lips together and tries to ignore it, sucking in a breath through her nose and swallowing a whimper. She's had worse before, and she'll probably have worse again.]
