Ceana is so overcome with fear that she cannot speak and I do not have time to trifle with idle conversation.

"We shall continue this another time." I say and depart for the woods.

Badb's exit was alarming to me in that she left in the direction of where Aedh and his warriors were waiting. I will need to intercept her before she sees the band and raises the alarm. Aedh is a fool and probably could not capture her before she was able to make it back to the Dunn and then we would have a bloody mess upon our hands. No, the time is not right.

Badb is a house wife. She knows nothing of the woods and it is obvious from the trail she has left. A child could follow the large path she has cut through the wood. She is running at a good speed and appears confused from the jagged path. She should be easy to overcome.......
