Grimm was so tired and he tried to hide his gasp. Cree looked at him with a sadness in her gaze, and Grimm felt really sorry for her. "Of course we can talk now", he said and smiled, "though I am tired". She smiled to him. "Is it very important?" Grimm asked. Cree nodded and now seemed very serious. They went into Grimms room and sat down in front of the small fireplace.
Grimm leaned back in the chair took up his pipe and lighted it. Cree sat straight-backed in the chair with a little bit expression. Have something happened? He really wanted to ask that, but he awaited Cree to say anything instead. It was quiet and Cree squirmed in her chair. Now Grimm couldn't hold back his question. "Have something happened?" he said and heard that his question sounded dumb.
Cree looked down and seemed to avoid Grimm's gaze. Grimm didn't know what to do, nor say. He awaited Cree to say anything.
