Dec 22: Entwash Delta, Ravion's Ramblers
Mellonin slowly withdrew her hands from her face. Looking up at Aeron, she drew a deep breath, and glanced at Raefindan and Gwyllion.
Ravion slowly let go of her shoulders, and drew back. She did not look at him. Mellonin turned towards Gwyllion with beseeching tear-filled eyes, and reached for her.
"What ails you, Mellonin?" said Gwyll, puzzled.
Raefindan knelt near them both. "What dreams, Mellonin? Tell me."
Her white face turned towards him, and she shook her head.
"It's over, " he said. "It was just a dream. Nothing more."
"I am not so certain, " she quavered. "It seemed quite real, and when I awoke--" Horror filled her eyes again, and her composure fled beyond recall. She curled up and sobbed. Aeron snorted in disgust and walked away to gether his things. Gwyllion hesitated, then followed him. Ravion sat back on his heels, and looked on as Raefindan waited beside Mellonin, one hand on her wrist.
Tempted to rise and finish packing, Ravion hesitated as he studied them: one sick in body, the other sick in heart.
"Shall we march, or rest, Raefindan? What think you?"
