Athena was beyond thrilled to know Beocca was know coming with them to Bebbanburg. Now, they all sat in the hall of Coccham, discussing a plan of action.

Athena ran her hand through her daughter's hair, whom laid in her lap. "Did Hild send you to keep an eye on me?" Uhtred suddenly asked the priest beside him, making everyone around the fire look towards them.

"No." Beocca answered, shaking his head as he turned from the fire, to Uhtred. "It was entirely my decision." Athena raised her brow at that with a slight smile. "You were right. I've allowed myself to get old too quickly." He then looked over at the others around the fire. "I shall leech off their youthfulness." He pointed to the small group. "Revive myself."

Athena softly chuckled at that, looking down at her sleeping daughter. "What is the real reason?" Uhtred questioned, tilting his head to the side.

Beocca stayed silent for a moment, looking at the fire until he spoke up. "Word reached me of the abduction of a young deacon." Athena pursed her lips as she turned her gaze to Young Uhtred, whom sat away from them all. "So, I felt I should, uh..."

"You came to help me be a better father." Uhtred exhaled, leaning back in his seat as he looked over at his son. "I already have Athena for that." Athena rolled her eyes at his words, shaking her head with a smile.

"Well, there is that." Beocca jested, turning to Uhtred with a smile.

"And?"

Athena looked between the two as the two shared a look, a silent look that spoke a hundred words.

She only tore her gaze away from the pair when she felt Thyra stir in her lap. Athena ran her hand through her daughter's hair once more.
