"Ivo," May screamed, finally pulling her man's attention away from the argument he was apparently enjoying. "Eada has run off." When he immediately scowled and looked around, she breathed a sigh of relief. He had understood her odd mixture of French and English.

"Where is she?" he demanded.

"She went toward the smoke," May answered, pointing toward the signs of a fire, and then she quickly pointed toward where she had last seen Serle and his cart. "Get Serle. He can help."

May stared toward the smoke as Ivo leapt from the cart and pushed his way through the crowds in search of Serle. Eada had gone white, cried out, and then fled toward the very danger everyone in the baggage train was worried about. She knew Eada had had some sending, heard some cry for help, but she wished the woman had paused long enough to at least take Ivo with her. May was sure another village was being laid waste and Eada would look like just another Saxon to the men wreaking the havoc. May cried out in surprise when Serle suddenly grabbed her by the arm, pulling her attention to him.

"She went to the village just ahead?" Serle asked, speaking slowly and using the simplest words he could in the hope that May could understand.

It took a few minutes of French, English, and signals to tell Serle what had happened. May heartily wished she could be certain that he really understood her. He looked concerned, said something to her that was obviously supposed to comfort her, mentioned Drogo to Ivo a few times, and then, leaving Ivo behind with the carts, disappeared into the crowd. She sighed and rubbed her forehead, managing a weak smile for Ivo when he patted her hand in a gesture of comfort. May decided that when Eada returned, and she refused to think of any other possibility, she was going to work harder on her French.
