Summary
Yusuf struggles to string his thoughts together in an orderly fashion. Every time he manages to capture one in his fingers, a sudden movement by Quỳnh scatters it to the four winds. She presses upon his side and he moans out a string of Arabic that is, undoubtedly, gibberish. Quỳnh responds in her mother tongue. Yusuf blinks slowly at her. He has begun to consider himself at least conversational, but in this state he’s not certain he can pin down the words.
(Or the gang comes across a new invention - the fire lance)

Summary
She is a dream. She is her dream. The dark hair, light eyes, sharp cheekbones. This woman has haunted her dreams and the space between life and death. She is an angel.
They share no words, no languages in common. But the soft questioning touch of comfort and the shouldering of her weight, these are universal. These are human. I have you. Lean on me. You are not alone.
(Or four times Quỳnh's family save her and the one time they don't)
