Olivier opens the door into a pleasant spring day. The sun warms the first buds on the trees and the freshly tilled earth in the fields beyond smells rich and warm.

They are in the woods just beyond Athelstan and Ragnar's holding, stepping out of a circle of stones.

"I should have known it was a doorway." Olivier smiles. "Perhaps the ancients of this land knew the bar too."

Mary squeaks with delight as a butterfly passes them, wriggling in Athelstan's arms to be put down.

Ragnar reaches out to touch Athelstan's hand, encompassing the little girl between them.

Warm and snug and safe.

He allows the touch, innocent as it is, and turns his hand to receive it.

Ragnar murmurs something very incoherent, entwines just two of their fingers each, and finally starts snoring very, very softly.

Athelstan doesn't sleep, but he's happy to let the other two do so.

Ragnar snores softly until he hears Mary give a whimper after an hour or so.

Athelstan is still awake and stroking her hair, making soothing noises.

The snoring stops with a gurgle, and Ragnar wakes up as well.

"Hmm?"

"Where is the horse?" Athelstan whispers to Ragnar.

Ragnar pats the furs for a moment, finds the little wooden horse, brings it out, and offers it to Athelstan. He yawns, then gently touches Mary's cheek.

"Little lady?" he whispers.
