They were sitting around the fire that morning eating the cooked rabbits and some brose. The children had gathered around Wolf and Keir. They were curious about the warriors and barely let them eat for all the questions they had for them. Keir indulged the children by answering their questions but Wolf scowled at them. His look was so fierce the children shrank back from him.

All but the youngest.

Albie sat staring quietly at him.

“Tis rude to stare lad,” Wolf growled as he concentrated on eating his food.

“I dinnae want to eat a bunny,” Albie whispered with his head down. “And I’m not looking at ye no more.”

“Then don’t eat it,” Wolf said gruffly, still without looking at the little boy. Then he grunted, “Warriors need to eat for strength.”

Albie looked up at him, but then quickly turned his eyes away. He wanted to study the warrior’s belt, his kilt, his boots. He marveled at the muscles in his arms and looked at his own thin arms. He studied the warrior’s mannerisms: how he sat, legs braced wide, with his elbows on his knees to eat. Albie spread his feet and leaned forward to put his elbows on his knees and took a bite of his rabbit. Just as Wolf was.

Wolf saw him out of the corner of his eye and frowned. What is this child doing?

But his attention was really on Swan. He wanted to make sure she had finished the rabbit he had handed to her.

She had indeed made sure everyone had enough food before she had sat down. She had passed out the rabbit and bowls of brose. Finally she had sat down with just the bowl of brose.

Wolf stood up, took a hunk of rabbit, and put it in her bowl.

“Eat,” he had said and sat back down. “There is plenty for all.”

She had looked at him in shock then down at the rabbit in her bowl. He saw her lick her lips and look around to see if everyone had enough. Only then did she eat.
