Yllfa

The villagers of Bancross getting together to relax with visitors from far away places, telling tales of old.

Although still not fully back to his old strength, Waelden is improving by the day. Yllfa and Elthel ( and for the past few days, Bronaa) look after him in their own ways, and 'encourage' him to keep up the exercise. 

Duncadda, Waelden and Yllfa sitting together in the barn near the Bancross meadhall, planning a social gathering for the villagers and visitors, to brighten the mood in uncertain times.

Many of the inhabitants of Bancross train when they can. Yllfa defends her pottage with her staff and a well aimed kick, imagining she is defending something, or someone, far more precious.

And then came the day when Waelden was able to feel the fresh grass under his feet again. Though it would still be some weeks before he could walk unaided, his broken foot had healed well. He was eager to be active, but wise enough to heed Yllfa's cautions. The afternoon the bindings were cut away from his foot, he and Yllfa visited the horses in their nearby yard. Waelden put aside his much disliked crutches for a short time, and steadied himself with the fence. Soon he would be walking and riding properly again, to both his and Ealfin's pleasure..
