[Sadbh]

Sadbh, after hearing Achae's unsure answer turned back to Deorlin. He looked fairly puzzled and disapointed. Slowly, as not to tread on thin ice, she spoke again. "Deorlin... you haven't heard anything other on this matter?" She let a spoon full of rich, thick broth, drip back into the bowl.

With a tired exhalation, she leaned back into her chair. "Sorry, we coulldn't be of any more assitance."

He shrugged. "Oh no, no matter." But clearly, he was worried by this news, and the two women's lack of information had not helped.

"I'll get us some bread, shall I?" Sadbh broke the quiet with a cheery smile. The others nodded and she set off to the bar, where she wove her way through the crowds to find an empty spot at the bar. "Please, may I have a loaf of rye?" She asked the woman who stepped up from behind the bar. She was replied to with a nod.

In a short moment the woman came back with a loaf of soft brown rye cradled in a wicker bread basket.

"Thank you." Sadbh gave the woman two coins and set offf through the crowd, bread held close to her to avoid the unpleasant possibility of dropping it.
