Large room in the keep inhabited by Liadan and Aron Buckley and their children. It even has a little furniture.

Liadan looked up from the chair she was dusting off. "What do they need to do?"

Ertzel was silent for a moment or two, then replied, "Sileas wants to sit with Uncle Shawn and Yehudit of course wants to be at her side."

Ertzel was too slow to answer. Liadan frowned.

"Is that all?" Liadan asked.

"Yes, they were afraid Olivia would wake up and cry and bother the other patients."

It was not what Ertzel was saying, but how she said it. What she said made sense but she almost sounded like she was lying. But Ertzel never lied, she was an honest girl brought up right.

"Okay." Liadan said.

"Thank you, Mama." She gave her a quick kiss then headed out the door for the other room.

Liadan had been sleeping lightly and woke quickly to Difyr's tap on the door. She quietly crept to the door so she would not wake any of the small children and opened it.

"Difyr, what is it?"

"I'm sorry to disturb you, but Mr Spenser was asking for Sileas. Is she awake?" Difyr asked.

"What do you mean is Sileas awake? Sileas isn't here." Liadan took a quick look around the room, it was just her younger children. "She and Yehudit are supposed to be with Shawn." Liadan frowned, remembering how slow Ertzel had been to answer earlier.
