328 CCCXXVIII. The Call

"My old room was occupied by a new recruit and I had to sleep in this one here, where the bed was half broken..." he said, clawing his neck and walking beside Dag.

"I'll be waiting for you among the other warriors, Captain" Reidar said, turning back and heading toward the center of the yard, stopping as soon as Dag grabbed his arm.
