**Birthday Party in the Barrow** (May, 2005) - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Having said goodnight to Firefoot and the two Shelties, Ealasaide decided that turning in for the night sounded like a very good idea. Before doing that, though, she looked around for Hilde Bracegirdle, with whom she had exchanged salutes a short while earlier. She intended to have a quick word with Hilde before finding a quiet corner where she and Codijune could retire for the night, but, upon locating her friend, saw that Hilde had already dropped off to sleep. She sat with her back against the wall, snoring contentedly ...and loudly enough to rattle the windows in their frames, if there had been any windows in the barrow.

Catching sight of Hilde's nametag with the cryptic "GIN" dashed across it, Ealasaide grinned, wondering if gin might have had something to do with the volume of her friend's snores.

"Oh, well," she sighed. "Goodnight, then! And goodnight to all my other fellow wights!" With that, she found a secluded spot on the floor nearby and curled up on her side, pillowing her head on her arm. Codijune curled up, in turn, in the nook behind Ealasaide's knees and with a single deep sigh, dropped off to sleep. Ealasaide lay awake for a short time listening to the ongoing merriment of the party on the other end of the room, then she, too, was overtaken by slumber.
