"Knowing too much isn't good," Micah warned her. "But you got hurt partly because of me, so I won't let it happen again."

He didn't want to disrupt Nina's life.

Nina thought for a moment. "It's okay. My life won't be easily taken here."

"Let's go," Micah said, continuing to escort her.

Nina frowned slightly. He avoided the topic of the Pharaoh, which suggested he was intentionally keeping it from her. Maybe he didn't trust her. Mentioning the Pharaoh didn't elicit any significant reaction from Micah either, hinting at a possible connection he didn't want to disclose.

As soon as Nina and Micah returned to the village, someone called out. They had been worried since she had been gone for so long.
