People, cattle, and carts pooled out of Fréasburg as the color drained from the sky. Hæneth walked up the ditch along the road, not to get caught in the current of Faire-folk leaving the city. The brazier-lights winked from the towers as if to herald the fireflies. She had just made it. The town, like the rest in Rohan, closed its gates when dark fell. It would not have been her first evening spent sleeping outside a barred city, but she was already days past her due, and someone inside expected her.

Adriwyn scuffs her feet a bit as she enters, making sure she's not tracking anything in.

Brynleigh stands a little way off from the other women of the city, who come and go with their various baskets and pails of clothes and soap along the river's edge. Her hands are empty, loosely draped together over her stomach while she gazes thoughtfully at the flowing water.

After a chance encounter in Edoras, Haeneth and Tidhelm chose to journey together to the town of Woodhurst, as both travelers had their own reasons for reaching the dwelling in which the men of Rohan and Dunland have lived together for generations.

They stood upon the Deeping Wall, on guard together. The others of the patrol were also on guard, but spread further along the wall. Gaeded felt strange in this moment, though she thought that it should feel like any other day. Ælfræd stood next to her.

It was a quiet day, as usual, as no enemy dared to approach the great fortress.

The dog barked shortly, as he ran out and gave himself away from the bushes. Theogorn hobbled from the woods into the glade, surrounded by his bellowing sheep through his humming melodies. He paused for a moment, leaning on a shepherd’s stick to grasp a little breath from his recent climb on the hill. It was a bright and cloudless morning, with a warm wind of the sorts that moves flickering spots on the turf and foretells a midsummer thunderstorm after squeezing air.
