Guillairme had been aware that one lost sleep while caring for infants--but mere awareness does not prevent one from falling victim to it. It seemed to him that he had awoken at every change of the watch, and fallen back to sleep with difficulty only once the chirping hatchlings were sated. But come the morning, the golden nestling was so soundly asleep that he was able to pick them up and tuck them into the tied sleeve of his herigaut without much of a stir.
Brulie had been, as ever, delightfully patient as he loaded supplies on her back, both his and Henri's. If there was any leftover meat, he would take a bit, but Henri would likely need to hunt for the dragon before too much longer. Or they would need to buy meat from a nearby farm. "Aye, luckily for you, I also have business at your father's estate. Lest I might have cause to say 'Sir Henri has left me with child and run off,'" it was said mildly, but the joke itself was one that could cause heads to roll were one not certain of the lord's disposition and favor. In this instance, it was clearly a reminder to Sir Henri of his initial purpose in hiring this crew: to spread word of his valiant battle. He should make certain everyone left happy before simply riding off.
As Zaya went to leave she felt a light hand on her shoulder. "Madame Zaya, I do still wish to assist you and the one you are entangled with...though unfortunately I fear I would not be of much use today. Still, if you would travel with Henri and I...or, perhaps it might be better if you headed directly for the village of Cassecour--it's to the north and west of Montagnac. Senior priests of the Hushed Refrain have decades of experience helping restless spirits; they will surely know how to disentangle the two of you."
