The journey became much rougher after that. The roads that had previously been made of small pebbles and rocks were now covered with larger stones, and the carriage shook violently every time the wheels rolled over them. With every turn and bump, Kui was thrown from one side to the other, until he finally gave up trying to sit properly and clung to Aok instead.
His face had gone pale, and he held his mouth tightly as he swallowed hard.
Fuck, if I knew it was going to be this bad, I would have suggested that we walk. Who knew the roads were this terrible…
His stomach twisted again, and he squeezed his eyes shut as another particularly large bump sent the carriage jolting upward.
Bile threatened to rise into his throat every few seconds, but he stubbornly held it back. He really did not want to throw up inside the carriage, especially with Aok sitting right beside him.
