Drem breathed deep, the scent of pine trees and winter heavy in the air.
“Have you seen Drassil?” he asked, a new tactic.
Olin gave him a sidelong look.
“I have, as you well know.”
Drem opened his mouth to ask another question.
“Enough,” his da snapped as he stood quickly. “A long day on the morrow, I’m for my bed.” He stamped his feet, stood there hesitantly for a moment, looking down at Drem. Then he walked away and lay close to the fire. Drem heard the rustle of furs and popping of a cork as a skin of mead was unstoppered.
Drem sat and stared into the darkness, listening to the sounds of the night.
