[ Loki, the lead-rope of his horse in his hand. ]

I will return to Schwanheim by tomorrow.

[ That's all, he's done. Orb off. ]

I'm glad to hear it.

Why?

Because then you won't be alone anymore.

I am alone, and I am not alone. It will always be that way.

How is that?

Never you mind.

You don't have to be alone.

And yet I choose it -- whether it is because I wish it so, or because of reasons you cannot see, neither of us will know.

You are still welcome to join me for tea.

Oh! So are you, um, not doing the bad guy thing anymore?

...have you not found the creature responsible for the rumors?

Giving up already? You made it sound like it would be a lot harder to find you.

You haven't found the creature responsible for those rumors, have you.

I wasn't looking for anything like that.

So, why did you decide to return? Was there nothing of value out there?

I saw the thorns. I spoke to them. I learned a great deal.

Really? Then maybe you know why the thorns are behaving as they are?

The intent of the thorns is to destroy. Simple enough.

We knew that from the beginning really. Did they say anything new?

She.

She? What do you mean 'she'?

I mean: a woman.

Sometimes I wonder if you take things too literal on purpose.

I meant, where did you run into a woman who would have said anything new about the thorns? Who is she?

[The thorns themselves couldn't be a woman, right?]

She is the embodiment of chaos, and she appeared to me as a small, brown bird.

I see, another one of the colorful characters here.

So, what did you two talk about?

Speak to her yourself.

I might end up doing that some day.

Have any luck while you were out there?

Yes.

Glad to hear it.

[Faolan beams at him] Loki!

So happy to see me again?

Yes! Faolan is happy to see Loki!

You forgive too easy.

Forgive for what?

That I abandoned you, and made no apology.

[Well, is that all? Here Faolan thought it might be something serious. He answers matter-of-factly.] Loki has to do things. Hawk goes to work and doesn't say sorry.

Faolan caught things without killing!

Bravo.

[Faolan beams, pleased at praise] Loki go hunting again soon? [eager eager wriggle wriggle]

Perhaps. Perhaps not.

Faolan and Loki can go hunting? [Yes Daddy please?]
