"Gyda", Athelstan says over his shoulder with loving amusement as he steps through the door, "my hair isn't long enough to braid like your father's. I let you arrange my beard, be content with that."

As he turns into the main room to get something to eat, his beard does indeed have a small thin braid, with a little charm tied into it.

As the sun dips behind the mountains, a man and a horse can be found racing towards the stables.  It's been too long since Jim's been riding here.  He's missed Rachat.  And as he makes his way across the snowy ground, he remembers the friends he used to ride with, here and at home.  Remembers the friends he hasn't seen in a long time.  He feels just a bit old.  When did time escape from him, like the sunset coming on too fast in the winter? 

Greet him on the trails, or in the stable, or inside as he gets a cup of hot coffee after his ride.

Absolutely everybody -- inside, evening

While the weather outside is frightful, with mingled snow and rain, gusts of gale-force wind and a general sense of cold and darkness, many people are keeping safely, warmly inside. Among them are:

• Katrina Crane, sitting at a table with an embroidery project, enjoying the luxury of doing something this pointless;
• Father Harman, pondering a small parochial-looking photocopied flyer advertising some sort of church event;
• Teja, sitting by the fireplace, without Egil for this once, playing his harp. All four cats are lounging on the back and arms of his chair, mostly asleep;
• Lady Margolotta von Überwald at a table near the door, drinking tea and crocheting what seems to be a small nest or cave;
• Dr. Hannibal Lecter in a booth, enjoying an immaculate meal of beautifully arranged vegetables and a greenish-pale wine;
• Dorian Gray on a sofa, legs up, sipping on a hot chocolate with marshmallows in and listening to something on headphones that are connected to a small device in his hands;
• Madame Thénardier, hunched on an ottoman in the ingle-nook beside the fireplace, reading a book with green and pleasant hills on the cover.

Death was sitting next to the fire contemplating his the game he was playing. From time to time his concentration on his disguise slipped just enough for the mist of his substance to slip from under the cuffs of his immaculate sleeves. An eyeball or two would blink at the bar at large. Other times  large black feathered wings took up the entire sofa. Fourteen pairs of of the black feathered things to be exact.

What some that may know him might find strange, is that his food has grown cold, and his beer warm.

He is botherable.

Satisfied that the event seems to have gone well, she deposits herself on a sofa with a beer and a box of ninth grade test papers.
