- Celila has been weak on her feet since morning, yet Zhunim was supposed to come with herbs a long time ago! Herbs that I found on my way here, and I don't know what would have happened if I hadn't given them in time... - I looked at the clearly surprised Xera.
- But oh, he had left some time ago! I saw worrying signs from him, and now he's disappeared...
- I don't know what you think, but I don't want to be made fun of!
The uninteresting conversation went on for some time and when the agitated wife finally left the house, Xera did not waste time on idle talk.
- I don't expect anyone else, and I have to find out where
Zhunim - saying this she put on a sheepskin coat, to which I protested.
- I would advise against going out in this condition... I feel better now, so I might be able to catch him.
- Don't be silly. You said yourself that you don't know these parts.
- Well, I can at least go with you, can't I?
- Hmmm yes we can do that
And so we did. Having taken one lamp and some provisions we set off towards the central square, the square of my waking tree.
- Well we could see the road to the reeve's house - you could see she could hardly afford such a swagger.
Having reached our destination we saw only the reeve's daughter looking out of the window.
- And what now?
- hmmmmm - she scratched her chin - maybe for some reason he wandered into the Gatherer's Glade.
