Numair learns the Truth:
Numair woke up the next day. I hope Daine isn't mad at me because of last night. He got up and looked around; Daine wasn't there. Numair's anger rose instantly. Then he looked out the window to see snow on the ground and the man relaxed. She's probably out playing in the snow, he thought. She would never do something after I told her spiffily not to.
He put on his robe and walked out of their room to a chilly morning. I can't believe she loves the snow so much, he thought. He loved to watch Daine and kit in the snow. They would be running and kit would stumble and fall. Diane would laugh at the snow-covered dragon. And fall into his arms. Numair would lean down and kiss her smiling lips. Her lips were always cold, and she would cuddle right up to him and let him kiss her.
Numair walked over to the horse field expecting to see her and kit running around. She wasn't there. Numair walked down the hall. Is she at breakfast? She wasn't. When I find her, he thought. When Numair was walking back to their rooms he ran into Lory.
'Master Numair,' she said. 'Have you seen either Daine or Hakkon?'
'No I haven't. but I wish I knew where my wife was.' He said grimly.
'Why?' she asked.
'A bird is hurt near out home about ten miles away. Last night she tries to get to it and I told her she wasn't aloud to go alone.'
'Do you think she went?' Rand had come up next to his wife.
'Yes. Why?' he asked speciously.
'There's something you don't know.' Rand began.
