"I'm going too." Thom's murmur was barely audible above the impatient stamping and snorting of the horses. His mouth grimly set beneath the shadow of his hat, he took the rusty sword from Mary's hand and stepped towards Burn.
"Thom, you can't!" Mary rushed forward and grasped his sleeve, her other hands slipping below to grasp his deformed paw. "You... you..."
Thom turned back towards her with a strange certainty in his eye. "I can. And I am. They need everyone available to stop this menace, Mary. I have to do something."
Her mouth worked back and forth as she struggled against arguments and tears. Eyes bright with moisture but simmering with the anger that had burned bright from the beginning, Mary looked up at Burn. "Then I'm going too."
