It's almost time to leave their little hunting cabin and go back to the town, much as Athelstan and Ragnar might wish they could stay... but Athelstan's dog is nowhere to be seen.

Athelstan stands in the doorway, looking and calling for him, and finally he reappears, carrying something in his mouth.

"Fiachra? What have you got there?"

He crouches for a better look, frowning as it strikes him that doesn't look like a deer bone...

Ragnar emerges from the hut, bags over his shoulder.

"All fires are out, and the tallow candles--" he is saying, and then he sees the dog, and what he is bringing.

"Good dog, Fiachra!" he says, holding out his hand towards the hound, to make him give up what he found.

A well-trained dog will do that, of course.
