But I needed this. I didn't need to win, but I needed to gain some respect, and stop the group from treating me like a very clever, but helpless child... I concentrated on my breathing, trying to keep the panic at bay.Aedan was the first to find me there when he arrived, with Zevran in tow."What's this about, Sierra?"I noticed neither man was in armour, and couldn't decide between being relieved or offended.
