Almost Andvir turned back.

The risk was too high. Any of the other refugees might recognize him and give him away.

The shame was too great. Not just his earlier robberies—he supposed he was less to blame for those, because he had followed his father into outlawry, too young to make his own decisions. But after Dor Cuarthol, after first Turin and then Beleg had taught him better, he had relapsed, grown desperate enough to rob again.

But the Havens were his only real chance of survival—and his only chance of surviving without robbery, too. He moved forward.
