I jumped back when the little imp appeared beside me and had my knife halfway out of its sheath before I caught myself. "Imp! Stop doing ..." and he was gone.
I looked at Kiya and said, "He really, really has to stop doing that!" I blew my breath out in a frustrated sigh (I hadn't realized I was holding it until then).
"Why don't you go rest now?" I reached over and hugged her impulsively, "I'm glad your here." I quickly stepped back, blushing: "I'm sorry, I don't know why I did that." I said gruffly, "Go and sleep, we have to start looking for Lynn soon. The trail is already cold and I can't imagine, or at least I don't want to, what those Orcs are doing to her."
