The had spotted Aldwulf. Graitwa walked over to his younger brothers: "Pipe down, you two. You're chattering like a flock of young jackdaws. If you don't close your mouths, Aldwulf may overhear us." He said in a bit grumpy voice.

As the afternoon drew closer Graitwa got back to Frea's side, discussing and focusing on what would happen when they reached Brytta's camp. Graitwa was wondering if they should attack today or wait, so he asked Frea what he thought about the subject:

"Do you think we'll have the chance to attack today and put an end to all this," Graitwa asked.

Fréa shook his head and looked at him, "I hope so, but let's not be in such a big hurry until we actually see their camp. Even if the layout looks good, we'd probably want to wait till late tonight under cover of darkness, when their men have fallen asleep."

Graitwa looked him in the eyes for a second and the he grinned. "So you think it will be as easy as following this one?" He continued with short laugh. It was obvious that Graitwa found this very much amusing indeed, because he didn't stop laughing until he almost trembled in his own feet. When this happened he pulled himself together and waited for Frea's comments. Frea thought for some moments, while he turned his head and looked in all directions.

"Hm......" Frea said while he shook his head, "That's hard to believe. If they have any sense, they'll post a guard. I do not think that Brytta is as big a fool as this one who walks ahead of us. If there's a sentry, he'll have to be carefully taken out. Then we'll see what happens...."

"I think you have a point there, mate." Graitwa said to Frea. "I doubt that Brytta is a big fool as the one in front of us here." He continued while his eyes turned to his brother again.

They were creeping forwards to the Hyldesons' camp, Graitwa, Hama, Frea and Archim. There were men by the Camp, and Graitwa gave a short sigh while glanceing over at the others. His eyes reached Frea. What did he want them to do?
