Bas took a seat close to the cliff with a good view of Anne's ascent, his staff resting horizontally across his legs.
"Let's rest here then. My only suggestion is that we keep away from the center of the clearing."
Bas looked up and marked Anne's progress. While he did not expect anything to happen, he wanted to be ready in case she fell or the cliff somehow attacked her. Given the events of the past couple of days, he didn't know which was more likely.
