Just then, Langley arrived. He had heard what happened and rushed over. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Evelyn Ford and Ronan Kendrick were unharmed.
"My parents went to deal with it. This isn't the first time something like this has happened. It happened last month, too, also involving that Shelly Warren. I didn't expect Blind Miller to be part of it this time. Their family has it pretty tough, so they're always trying to fleece passing refugees for supplies. The patrol guards have 'educated' them several times, but she just won't change."
Langley apologized profusely. "How about this? For the few days you're staying here, I'll help you break the ice."
"It's fine. You find people like that everywhere. It's not your fault," Quincy said, patting his shoulder.
"They didn't try to hit you, did they? Last time, a woman was pushed onto the ice by Shelly Warren and almost fell into a crevasse."
Evelyn Ford shook her head. "No."
