Eodwine was discomfited. Here he had been thinking that she seemed tired, had been working herself much too hard since the wall had fallen three days ago. That was a lot of work. Was she trying to pay him back for swearing his oath to protect her? Maybe he was wrong. He looked her hard in the eyes.

Well, she was with the cleaning, but not with helping him understand what was going on inside her head. No, the best thing he could do was to speak plainly.
"Saeryn, you're working too hard. Why?"
