WHO: six, marcus, marcoulf, barrow, matthias, laura & derrica WHAT: escorting some stranded orphans back to ostwick WHEN: firstfall 9:45 WHERE: on the road to ostwick NOTES: n/a.
The children's response is a mix of fearful cries and argument; Laura, only expecting the latter, doesn't know what to do with the former. She stares into the tent, the muddy scents of too many people filling it, and realizes that Barrow has fallen asleep.
If he is not going to assist her, Laura is not going to insist on moving everyone back to their proper tents. He doesn't appear to care that the children have disobeyed, which is his own failure to bear. She reaches in for the arm of her orphan, the girl who talked back to her, and pulls her out from the tent.

Useless to Laura's cause, Barrow begins to snore faintly, snatching the moment when he can.
