Timeline: Season 1 & Season 2

Summary: Times Kahlan and Richard nearly die and survive to continue their quests to defeat Darken Rahl and the Keeper

It was a cold dreary overcast day. Kahlan and Richard have been happily enjoying their time alone together since closing the rifts. They are traveling through a heavily wooded area that has pine and maple trees. Richard has been keeping their travel at a brisk pace due to the approaching storm. The wind is blowing hard and the air is cold, with no town in sight and no housing within sight, he is worried that they may not find a warm dry place to stay. He looks over to Kahlan to see her drawing her cloak tighter around her.

To keep their minds off the cold wind and coming storm, Richard has been asking Kahlan about her home in Aydindril and her plans when she returns. She tells him about some of the vendors, the houses and the people. Richard is taking notes of how Kahlan smiles and brighten up when she talks about her home. He makes a note to himself to remember to make her smile and to get her home safely soon. Richard plans to go to Aydindril with her and to marry and start a family. Thinking about their future together, he asks her to describe her bedroom.

Kahlan thinking about her home is taken by surprised at Richard's question. She catches her dress on a fallen tree limb and thus misses a step falling to the ground. Trying to unhook her dress to get back on her feet, she yells out in pain. She begins to berate herself for not being more careful, and aware of her surroundings. Kahlan knows Richard is only trying to keep her mind off the weather but she cannot help but to think about what they could be doing in her room during the storm.
