"You'll sleep here," Lena said. "Meals are at dawn, midday, and dusk in the main hall. Don't be late." Without another word, she turned and left; her footsteps were so silent despite the wooden floorboards that it actually scared Reidar.
Reidar stood alone in the small room. It was weird to be into a building after all this time in the wilderness and Lena's silent steps had shown him a weakness that was making him uncomfortable. His summons were strong, but they couldn't stop someone who they could not perceive.
