Athelstan has got used to snatching a few hours of restless sleep most nights, and going back to the work room as soon as he wakes. He very rarely sleeps in Milliways, unless Sinric is there.

This night is unusual, not least because he has fallen asleep alone in their room upstairs - and the dream is different too.

"And when that is done", he says, "there will be Ragnar. Goodbye, Leif."

"There will be Ragnar," Leif agrees. "I should drop in on him later."

He steps sideways, into the rushes; there is a rustle, and if Athelstan looks again, he'll be gone.
