“Just now!” He gestured to the door. “Whoever it was, I think I scared ‘em off.”
“I’ve been asleep.” The ranger sounded groggy still. “Only one who’s been here is you.”
Thane pondered this, but moved on. “What happened in that barrow?” He asked.

“Wait, what do you mean ‘us’?” Thane cocked his head.
“Well, me and Fang, of course.” Sky suddenly sounded very concerned, looking left and right at the empty beds around her. “He’s not here?”
Thane clenched his jaw, staring ahead at nothing. His eyes shifted suddenly to the side, a terrible realization manifesting. After a moment, he met Sky’s gaze. “You should rest.”

The shield maiden looked up, feigning deep thought. “Not to my knowledge.”
