Lark set out the dishes for their evening meal. The table was almost two big for just two to eat at, and she thought of suggesting they go eat with the rest of Winding Circle, except Rosethorn had almost finished cooking and nothing Lark had noticed her making would keep well.

Rosethorn carried two covered dishes in from the kitchen. “I burned the soup,” she said and kissed Lark.
