【生肉搬运】Shrike伯劳鸟 第三章 英语原文(10)
“You,” George said quietly, “are not used to being denied, are you?”
For a moment, George thought he saw Dream’s ever-present smile slip, just a bit. And then the moment passed, and George dismissed it as a trick of the light.
“What have you got to lose by keeping me around?” Dream asked, sounding so earnest George almost pitied him for it.
But then Sapnap’s hand was on his shoulder again, gentle this time, not a vice but a reminder.
“Let’s go,” Sapnap said, shaking off whatever it was that tried to keep them here.
George nodded. He raised a hand towards the boy in the trees, a careless farewell, before turning away.
He almost expected to hear that third set of footsteps again, but instead there was silence.
