Moraig sniffed importantly. "We're making her a few gowns, we are. Soon she'll be able to join us in the hall every night. She's making fine progress."

"Indeed." Darroc reached for his ale cup. "I am glad to hear it."

The sooner she recovered, the sooner he'd be rid of her.

Moraig glanced at him sharply, as if she'd heard. But then she preened and dusted her skirts. Little puffs of fine white wheaten flour swirled around her, making her look like a tiny, wizened sprite caught in a snowstorm.

Her blue eyes twinkled. "She's a fine lassie," she quipped, then turned and hobbled away.

"Ach, she's a fine one, right enough." Mungo took his seat at the table, the set of his hunched shoulders warning anyone who might question his changed attitude.

Darroc pushed aside his serving of oatcakes and green cheese.

His appetite had fled.

Mungo shoved up his sleeves and reached for the platter of roasted mutton, piling great slabs onto his trencher. "Word is" - he spooned rivers of sauce over his meat

- "the lass was heading for the Seal Isles. She told Mora - "

"The Seal Isles?" Darroc stared at him.

The stone he'd felt in his gut was suddenly joined by several friends.
