Harreld was chasing the boy, making sure to never quite catch him.
After a while he noticed someone standing nearby with her hands on her hips, a small smile on her face. It was Kara.
"Oh! Good morning. Are you here about the boy?"
"Aye. His mother is busy in the kitchen and I'm to take Theolain to Garmund and Cnebba."
"Ah. Well." Harreld stood by as Kara approached the child with great confidence. The boy seemed to recognize this and let himself be picked up and carried away. "Well then. Good bye."
Kara waved with her free hand and the boy waved too. Harreld went back to the smithy to be ribbed and kidded by his twin brother.
