Ingrey worried suddenly how much of a push against Ijada might come from that quarter. Princess Fara was one Stagthorne who might well want blood, not money, in order to wash her own hands of a grievous guilt. And Fara surely had not only Wencel's ear, but her brother Biast's.

Wencel pushed back his chair, pinched the bridge of his nose, and rose to his feet. His eyes were dark-circled, Ingrey noticed. And too old for his face.

Ingrey saw him out the front, then nipped back into the parlor and closed the door once more before the warden could reappear.

Ijada was frowning, as he seated himself beside her.

“I wonder,” she said slowly, “what dreams Wencel has been having?”

“Hm?”

She tapped two fingers on the table edge. “He did not speak of Bloodfield as one who has read or heard. He spoke as one who'd seen.”

“As you have-do you think? Yet at a different time.”

“My dream was in the present, I thought. Why should he dream of the past? Why should he dream of my men at all?” Ingrey noted her unthinking possessive. “He seems to feel they are-were- his men.” He hesitated. “His father had a reputation for a historical mania. So did his grandfather, I think, from some things my father and aunt said. He was not drawn in to his sires' passions as a child, that I know, but perhaps some crept upon him as he studied their writings later. He must have been frantic for explanations of what had happened to him.” He added after a moment, “Have you dreamed again of the Wounded Woods since you were there?” She shook her head. “There was no…no need. The task, whatever it was, was done. It didn't need to be done twice. Nothing of it has faded or changed since then.” Her eyes sought his face. “Until you came along, that is.”
