Their bed remained empty that night. Jace was camped outside near the horses and Temo stayed inside. Once in a while he would wander to a window and look out to check on Jace and the horses. The night was long and dragged itself out while Temo sat on the sofa and dozed off into a light sleep every so often. If there was anyone there, they would see the worry in his eyes. The worry for Jace and the horses.
Temo awoke from a light slumber and made his way to the window for his last look for the night. He noticed that the sky was beginning to lighten up heralding the coming of the sun. Everything still seemed calm outside for the moment and he sits back down for a bit. When he looks out again to the scene that the sun is showing him, he sees that Jace had moved to inside the corral and the mare was nearby laying down.
It must be time, I hope everything goes ok, he thought to himself. He picked up a water skin and some food and quietly went outside. He circled around to the fire that Jace was by during the night and put the stuff down. Temo looked out across the pasture and could tell that the stallion was not happy at the moment, and he understood why with him in sight and Jace inside the fence. "Morning. How are you?" he greeted Jace with a quiet voice as he sat down by the fire and tossed another log onto it, ready in case Jace needed his assistance.
