The sunset on the desert turned the whole world orange. The Crusader camp was preparing for bed, ready for more marching on the morrow. A few heartier souls polished their weapons, rather than heading for their bunks. Robin really should be doing one or the other.
Instead, he stared at the horizon, letting the setting blaze burn an imprint onto his eyes. He thought it was a technique that should be taught, and had shared it with Much. But, perhaps it was just that no one else needed it.
The shadow took up most of his vision by the time the sky began to go dark. When he turned to go into his tent, it concealed the bodies still strewn across the sand.
