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.

"Lately you don't have much luck in rooms! Hahahah!" he laughed, making a clear reference to the episode of Gridd a few nights earlier.

Reidar laughed at the joke and within seconds they both found themselves in the outside yard, retracing what until recently was their daily routine, even if they didn't know each other, despite having both walked down those corridors, without ever crossing their eyes.

Once outside, Egill and Dargeon were already close to their pedestal and chatting with each other.

When they saw Dag, they invited him to join them.

"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.
