He watched her for a few minutes before he too fell asleep, letting out a snore every now and then.

The next morning, Evalda slowly opened her eyes, full pain throbbing behind her temples. "What... Where...?"

Rikard groaned beside her, still half asleep.

She glanced at him, eyes widening as she tried to recollect what had happened the night before. Her head protested as she carefully sat up, staring around at the cove.

A cold sea breeze finally jerked him awake, and he propped himself up with his elbow, trying to remember what had happened for him to end up there.

She put a hand to her eyes, trying feebly to block the bright sunlight. "What... What happened last night?"

He sat up at the sound of her voice, quickly glancing her up and down. Did we...? Did something happen? Oh gods, if the other Vikings realise we've both been gone all night, her reputation could be destroyed. Not good. Definitely not good. "We need to get back," he said brusquely, avoiding her gaze and looking around for Ismael. The dragon was sat a few metres away, watching them.

She stood silent, vague images piecing themselves together in her mind's eye. She stiffened, averting her gaze as she remembered everything that was said. "Yes. Let's... Let's go."

He looked around for the saddle before realising that they must have flown without. I must have been completely wasted... A little uncomfortable, he offered a hand to help her up.

Her eyes quickly flitted away as she ignored his hand and clambered up on her own, grabbing onto one of the spiked on Ismael's back.

He fixed his gaze forwards, letting his hand drop to one of Ismael's spikes and muttering a Dragomese command. As the dragon took off, he felt his stomach flip with both shame and anger at himself. He and his family had brought Evalda nothing but pain.

Evalda studied the back of his head in silence, hands clammy on the large spike. I wonder if he remembers what I said about my old dream... Oh my god. He hates me, doesn't he?

They rode on in silence for a few minutes before Rikard cleared his throat nervously. He had to know, as he couldn't remember a thing. "Did we... Um... Did we do anything?"

"I, uh... I'm not really sure I remember. I don't know," she lied, blushing furiously. "I hope not."

"I'll try not to take that badly," he said, raising an eyebrow and almost sighing with relief. "We'be been hunting, if anybody asks."

She nodded, sighing. Almost inaudibly, she murmured, "My mother is going to have my head later."

She glared at the back of his neck. "You know what I mean, Cheif."

"Yeah," he murmured. "Yeah, I'm sorry. And I'm sorry about getting you drunk as well."
