“It wasn’t just Bayard,” Da said. “We must hurry. We will not prevail if we haven’t enough men.”
“Be careful,” Ma said. “I don’t like this. What’s with the rush? Surely you can stay for supper. I cooked for four people, and now half of it will go to waste –”
Da silenced her with a kiss. “Be safe, love. Dael will look out for you. Cerdic and I must go.”
Dael waved.
