all morning, how can you be tired?", Lydia laughed at the robber and called the fire when she noticed that they were sitting in the dark all the time.
"You two are funny, sitting in the dark and you don't even notice it! And then you laugh at me that I'm tired, this is the second time today that you wake me up.
But now you better tell me why you should be worried about Pippo? "Malvin sat down by the fire and looked at her curiously. After a while Lydia began to tell about her dreams and what happened afterwards." It's like a vision that only comes when something happens to someone, that of me means something and Pippo is the most important thing for me at the moment, he is the only one left of my family. "She turned away from Malvin when she realized that her tears were already in her eyes.
"If you want to go back that's understandable, but Pippo can take care of himself and you know that. It is your decision whether you stay here or not. I can understand because your brother is my best friend. But after what you said I don't think Pippo is in danger, but someone else. ", he said with a quick look at Bastan, who was sitting next to her.
"You're right, Pippo can take care of himself.", Lydia said after a while. Then she lay down by the fire and fell asleep.
While Bastan and Malvin waited for their breathing to go even. They started talking about something they didn't know about, no matter how obvious it was.
"You have to tell her before it's too late. Because I believe that you are the one she should be worried about. My grandmother told me about it, there are people who really get signs when something happens and I believe Lydia has this gift. Be careful, if she loses you too, she will never laugh again and the wound in her heart will tear her apart. And I promised Pippo to take care of her and what she needs most, you . "said Malvin sadly.
"You're right, I have to tell her, but not now. Otherwise she wouldn't be able to sleep because of worry and force me to go back and I don't want that! I'll be careful."
"Okay, let's get some more sleep before she wakes up."
Malvin went back to his bed and fell asleep quickly. Bastan, however, stayed awake for a long time, wondering what to do. If he went back with Lydia in the morning, Malvin would be the only one who could understand, but if he stayed he ran the risk of dying and never seeing Lydia again. He had to take the risk, because without him and Lydia the others were in a fix.
The next morning they set out again to lie in wait. It would be hours before the eagle's tax collectors went back to their master's castle.
Enough time to think about how things would go on.
