Day glanced briefly toward Dagfinn at Steady's question. He knew that the other male had planned to leave on a trip to see his sister once he'd seen them to the border, and that he didn't plan on joining Easthollow anytime soon. A quick exchange of glances told him that this had not changed.

"No, just me and Amber," Day replied, feeling both relieved and somewhat wistful as he thought of days spent without Dagfinn's constant presence. "I'm sorry we were gone so long; it took me longer than I thought it would to find my way," he added, wanting Steady to know that he hadn't been abandoned. Day had hardly even thought of it, and he hoped Steady hadn't thought too much about it either.
