When Rukshan awoke, all was quiet.
The little cottage felt completely empty, even with the presence of Emma.
He propped himself up, feeling hungry for the first time in many days.
The light outside was pale, everything seemed covered in a dense white fog.

There was a little note on the table.
“In case you decide to wake up while we are out, don’t be alarmed, I have taken Tak outside gather some wood —the kid was growing too restless inside, and even though my legs are not as strong as they used to, I will enjoy a little walk as well. Help yourself to the cheese. M~”

The fire had died in the chimney, so he started to clean the cinders and prepare some small wood for a little warmth.

The feeling of unrooted emptiness lingered around. Maybe it was just the fog. He would enjoy it a little longer while it lasted, before all thoughts of duties and things to do would catch up with him.
