Return Journey.

Lissa had a quiet sob in the back of the wagon after we left the village behind. She has always been the tender hearted one, and had hidden her distress about leaving Theodore behind very well from him, but as soon as we were on our own, she went back and threw herself down on the makeshift bed. I pretended not to hear of course.

It’s not that I wouldn’t miss my son, but I’ve always been a little more pragmatic than my wife. A bit of independence from his mothers wouldn’t do him any harm. And, although he would miss us too, boys his age are far more resilient than people give them credit for. No doubt he would be up to all sorts of mischief very soon.

I scratched my chin. Maybe I should have said something to him about peeping in on Freia. No, she was grown enough to deal with that herself, should she wish it. It did make me smile a little though, that our lad was already curious about the ladies. He was going to be a real pain in the ass when he was older. I couldn’t fault his taste though, Freia was a very attractive lass. Had I been a bit younger, and not with Lissa... Ah well, ifs and buts.

Lissa eventually stopped crying, I think she fell asleep actually, because it was a good hour more before I heard her moving about again. By that time we were well on our way.

“Would you like a tea?” she called out.

“Yes please love,” I said. There, it was out of her system. She would be fine. Lissa was the strongest woman I had ever met. People thought I was frightening sometimes, I knew, but they didn’t understand what Lissa was truly capable of, if really provoked.

“Here.” I was handed a cup of green tea, in one of our lidded cups that stopped the liquid slopping over the side due to the rough road. Lissa came up and sat beside me, her own cup in hand.

“He will be fine,” I said, after a few minutes.

“I know. I just miss him.”

“Me too. Don’t worry, it will be good for all of us. Plus…” I leaned over and gave her a kiss on the side of the face. “We get some alone time.”

Lissa giggled, and slid up close. “I love you lots, you brute,” she said.

“Hey, you’re the brute!”

We both laughed as the wagon rumbled on down the road.

The journey back through El was pleasant. We made love under the stars that night, after making good progress, and I woke with Lissa in my arms, a warm cushion by my side.

Things carried on well into South Reinhart. The guards at the border gave us the latest information on the roads, which was that bandit activity seemed to be quiet just now. However, that didn’t mean we shouldn’t be vigilant. The civil war between the south and north of the country had been at a stalemate for years,
