Was he serious? It was sweltering hot out here and just because she'd salvaged her first proper meal in months didn't make her strong enough to stay out in this heat for any length of time. As it was she was surprised there was any flesh for him to cut on her hip in the first place. Okay maybe Vala was exaggerating a little to herself but this heat was baking and she was weak and light headed.

Her retreat was well and truly blocked though, whether it was for shelter or escape. Even if she attempted a run into the cover of the jungle, she'd have to pass the Jaffa first.

Sobek turned to her and she could only take a deep breath to steady herself against what she feared was about to happen.
