His voice sounds tense from behind them, Richie bringing up the rear to keep Kate between them. His eyes were already squinting in expectation, the sun bright and high in the sky, and he knows damn well that this is gonna fucking sting no matter how much he tries to avoid it.
And yet, he didn't feel the sting of it, or hear the sound of flesh burning as smoke rose off of it. Just warmth and light, so maybe he'd done a decent enough job.
"Keep going. If it starts to get to me, I can hold it back for a little while."
He kept two of the sheets draped over his head almost like a tent, feeling a little idiotic about the whole thing, and it was fucking hard to keep hold of the thing without his fingers being exposed to the sun.
In fact, he wasn't entirely covered. Sunlight shone on tiny patches of skin as he moved in places he couldn't quite see, and yet it didn't seem to do, well, anything.
