Garic strode the wooded path that led to the clearing and their coach. A few feet from the break, he darted into a cluster of trees where he knew Vodamir kept watch. A full yellow moon glowed in the inky sky just above the hills and outlined Vodamir’s shape. Garic gave a light whistle as he approached. “Cousin, are you awake?” he asked in a low voice, crouching beside Vodamir who rested against a tree trunk.

“More than awake, annoyed,” Vodamir replied.

“I’m here on time.”

“Damn mosquitoes! They love tormenting me.” Vodamir slapped his neck and sat up.

“Your heat draws them,” Garic chided.

“I prefer the ladies.”

“On your return, I’m sure your woman healer can find a salve to soothe your itch.”

Vodamir gave a snort. “It’s been dead quiet. Shall I return at daybreak?”

“No need. Weather looks good for the mid-morning hunt. I’m bringing bow as well as spear.”

“My axe itches for a plump rabbit.” Vodamir swung his arm in an arc.

“That’s your best throw?” Garic goaded, punching at Vodamir.

Vodamir smirked, “You’ll never be as good as I am,” and bolted to his feet.

Garic followed. “The women are excited to join us. Perhaps they should ride as well. It appears those dogs can run.”

“Ja, if the women tire or grow bored they can return easily.”

“The supplies? Formiae had everything we need?”

Vodamir slapped Garic warmly on the shoulder and started toward the path. “It’s done. They have plenty in that town.”

“Good,” Garic replied, taking his post. Vodamir threaded his way toward the villa. Garic settled himself and within seconds, he swatted the side of his neck. Daylight come soon, he thought and steeled his gaze on the coach nestled in the shadowy grey.
