Zara is in Bedivere's old house, the one that's mostly empty now. She gave it over to the Continental Op, but she still comes around once in a while, because he doesn't seem to be around that much

Kay's wandering through the forest, discontent and rattled by his talk with Merlin. The forest reminds him of being a boy, some, the games he used to play with his brother; reminds him of hunts before he grew too busy to go on them. The forest is good things, especially in spring, and it's clearing his head, little by little.

The cottage feels familiar, somehow, though he knows he's never seen it before. Still, he's been walking long enough that he goes up and knocks on the door.

Zara immediately rocks her chair forward, gets up, and goes to the door, maybe even imagining a tiny little bit that it's him, that he's back, standing outside waiting for her to open his damn door. She opens it and looks out, a thin, ugly face half-hidden by tangles of red hair.

He looks a bit askance at her, but says gruffly, "I beg your hospitality a moment, lady. I've been walking." In Kay's mind, this is clearly all the explanation necessary.

"Come on in," pushing it wider and standing aside for him.
