I continue to run, aware that those who follow me are some of the best bounty hunters, and are fully equipped to handle any of my usual traps.

Those are a startling dark gold-brown pair that seem to unnerve the few people that get close enough to see them. Not that there have been many since I first got caught on the wrong side of The Wall.
