After Mystara nearly served Rasmus up for dinner on an icy cold platter, they did not have much to say to one another. She can not account for anything that happens while she is unconscious and he does not expect her to. However, it still leaves an uneasy feeling within both of them that there are certain elements out of their control. Transporting the frost witch has come with its own sets of challenges and surprises, just as he had predicted so far.
On the third day traveling together, they walk quietly through the forest. Rasmus decides to avoid her altogether, in the morning he does not even bother to tether a line to her bindings. Occasionally, she can feel him glancing back at her to make sure she is still following. She is, only stopping to collect a flower here or an herb there.
