"𝐒𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑!" Uhtred threw open her front door and Leofric, who was sitting in the corner of the room, jumped in alarm.
"Gods what is it you want now- you just scared poor Leo," she held out her hand from where she was sitting in front of the fire and the large brown bear placed his head in her hands as she stroked it tenderly.
"I've come to tell you that we are leaving for battle," his boots thudded on the wooden floor as he patted the bear on the back before sitting in the chair opposite.
"Where to?"
"To see a Dane called Bloodhair and I was also told by our good friends Haesten," she gagged making her brother smile, "that he has a seer."
Ingrid's hand left the beast before she leant forward with both hands on her knees, "a witch?"
Uhtred let a small smirk come to pass on his face, "Haesten said you would like her." She scoffed at him before urging him up on his feet.
"Shut it, let's get going before we miss that bastard Bloodhair," she shoved him out the door with a laugh and patted her leg behind her making Leofric come barging out the house.
Osferth brought her black stallion to her with a gentle smile, "thank you."
"Am I to be the distraction again?" He asked in a fed up tone, Ingrid laughed loudly before holding his shoulder, "of course you are."
She got up on her horse and Leo was by her side in an instant, she was to be at the front of the line right next to her brother. Ingrid turned to look behind her and waved at the children and Gisela with a bright smile until Uhtred came up beside her.
They nodded to one another before they began to move out of the town with a small group of men trailing behind them.

"Ingrid!" Finan shouted in delight as she jumped from her horse and they ran to hug each other. They only had two days away from another and yet it felt like two years.
"We're here too," Sihtric had his arms and posture of a babe who looked utterly annoyed. Uhtred pushed him off his horse, Ingrid and all the men burst out laughing Osferth had failed to hide his quiet laugh.
"Stop moping and pick yourself up," Uhtred said and the glare on Sihtric's face was far from playful but the small upturn of his lips said otherwise.
Ingrid was still laughing with an arm around Finan's shoulders when she noticed a man stood behind them, "who's baldy?"
