Boromir glanced behind him at the sleeping knight in Arianna's house, Bowen was ash gray, and breathing weakly.

The idiot drank mead again.

And he was severely allergic to the drink.

Boromir shook his head as he left to tend to the horses in the pasture, his stallion Miradox, quietly protesting Bowen's Ahearn in the pasture with Sunny, Arianna's mare.

But bother stallions were flirts and the mare had weaned her foal a week ago...

Bowen and Boromir would have to have a contest or something to determine which stallion would be the next sire.

If that is...

Bowen made it out of this...

Draco sighed softly from where he lay along a riverbank, watching the ripples from his wingtip in the water halfway out into the river.

He really hoped Bowen would be alright, oddly enough he'd grown used to the man's 'interesting' company and actually...

...

Missed him...

Arianna growled the next morning as she tugged at the rope Boromir had tied around her waist to drape over the far side of the barn.

The dragon had ripped a hole in her barn roof and there were summer crops to bring in from her small home garden.

Boromir was too heavy for her to hold onto the rope if he slipped on the far side of the barn. And Bowen was still out cold.

Arianna climbed up the pegs on the inside of the barn and out through the hole by the rafters, she had already had Boromir throw a bundle of straw up for her to fix the gap.

As she worked she heard a low hum begin from Boromir, he was bored and wasn't paying attention.

And Arianna stood up...

Draco didn't know why he was going back to the dragon slayers' house, but he had to check on Bowen, Einon's men and the king himself were out an about hunting and the dragon wasn't going to risk a encounter if he could help it.

As he neared the farm, the woman was on the roof of her barn, patching a hole he must've made when he took off yesterday...

Then she fell...

Bowen wasn't sure if it was Boromir's shout that woke him...

Or Draco's wings...

Or Arianna's scream...
