"Shut the damn door. That light hurts." She slammed it shut.
"Every night we run for our lives, and still you refuse to snap out of this daze you've sunk into! Yes, I understand your loss, but your life is at stake, Zaiper! Pull yourself together!" He sat at the foot of a rickety, filthy bed, lazily drinking from a goblet of blood.
"We need to reach a shelter as soon as possible," Sinai said, pacing. “At the rate they're hunting us, we'll be caught." Silence answered her.
Her gaze fell on the goblet in his hand. His men had slaughtered enough humans to fill barrels, and with the supplies from their vampire allies, their blood stores could last for years. No wonder he swirled it like fine ale, drowning in self-pity instead of replenishing his strength.

Us," she said through clenched teeth. “All the sentinels, the Shadows, the Hounds, the Storm Riders-they're hunting us like criminals marked for slaughter, and you're all just sitting here, saying nothing! Doing nothing!" "You think I enjoy this?" Zaiper growled, rising to his feet. "Last night I had to run naked. They ambushedwhile I slept. I barely escaped. I've been crawling through cities, caves, and underground tunnels like a rat. You think I enjoy this?" With a furious hiss, he hurled the goblet against the wall.
