Panel 1: Thame reaches out to Fiona who reaches toward him from inside a jawed mouth. She shouts "Thame!" Panel 2: Thame reaches inside the mouth to grab Fiona's arm. He shouts "Fio!" Panel 3: The jaws snap closed on Thames arm. Panel 4: Inside the closed jaws, Fiona says in fear "Don't leave me. I can't do this alone."

Panel 1: Fiona runs a hand through her hair and looks toward Thame who says, out of frame "You're up. Good." Panel 2: Thame enters the room from behind Fiona who looks over her shoulder at him. Thame says "I've already packed up most of our things and I checked the road. If we leave now, no one will see us." Fiona says, "What do you mean?" Panel 3: Thame sits on the steps, not looking at Fiona as she gazes at him. He says "I couldn't stop thinking about it all night, of running away. I know it will be hard, but I really think we can make it. If it means not losing you, I think we should try." Panel 1: Fiona glances toward Thame. Panel 2: Thame rests a hand on the wrist of his missing hand. Panel 3: Fiona looks down. Panel 4: Fiona silently rests a hand on her stomach. Panel 5: Fiona looks up as Thame takes her hand.

The Service." Panel 4: The window of the building appears to look down at them and it says "It's been three years since you last visited these halls. Explain your absence." Panel 5: Fiona grips Thames' arm as she cowers behind him and says "I've been ill." Panel 6: The building opens a fanged mouth as its windows form three eyes to glare at Fiona. Hands form at its base and Fiona turns away in fear as it shouts "Liar!" Panel 1: Fiona grabs onto Thames arm as a three eyed beast snarls at her and says "I see you for what you are." Panel 2: Thame tries to lift Fiona to her feet. She is staring down at her tangled skirt and blood covered thigh. The monster's tongue wraps around her ankle as it says "Murderer. Seductress. Broken thing." Panel 3: The tongue yanks Fiona toward its open mouth. She says "No. No!"

He says "Maybe they slept off the ground in those alcoves, since there didn't appear to be doors to keep creatures out and- Panel 3: Thame points off screen and says "That looks to me like it could represent a family." Panel 4: a shot of the wall above the door shows three shapes carved into the wall with different proportions.

Panel 1: Fiona sips from her tea cup as she says "Father would send someone after us. Your marriage potential is too valuable to him." Panel 2: Thame furrows his brow and says "Then we'll go North, into the pagan lands where no one would dare follow us." Panel 3: Fiona raises a brow and asks "You and I? Coddled children of a Lord? We have no idea how to survive out there. Panel 4: Thame lays a hand on his temple in frustration and say "We could figure it out. Anything is better than-" Panel 5: Fiona cups Thames' face in her hands. Panel 6: Fiona sits on her knees, holding Thames' face in her hands. He looks up at her, his hand rested on herself and says, "Mother made me promise the day you were brought to us, and again on her deathbed, that I would always keep you safe. I feel like I've failed her in that up until now." Panel 7: Thame looks down sadly and says, "Please don't go where I can't follow you."

Fiona sits with her knees to her chest, wearing just her undergarments. Thame sits with his missing hand propped on his knee. Their clothes hang above the stove to dry. Fiona says "Sorry." Panel 2: Fiona looks sidelong at Thame and says "I said we should stay so we wouldn't have to go out in the rain, and then I dragged us out there anyway."

Panel 3: A wide shot of the now dark room, lot only by the fire burning in the stove. Thame stands to lay out his bedroll. Fiona, still seated, asks, "What do you suppose this place was before it became a travelers' stop?" Thame stands looking thoughtfully at the aged stone room as he says "Hm "

Panel 4: He rests his hands on his hips, giving her a suspicious smile, "Well, you've succeeded in making nervous for an entirely different reason then. Panel 5: She smirks as she says "As you should be." Panel 6: She backs through the door into the rain.
