Eathun is hard at work with the farm, especially since he has begun to lose large numbers of his flock to some unknown disease.

Agnes is loving the latest addition to the family, baby Martinus.

And Cynedritha is being an absolute nuisance wherever she can. Poor Milo is covered in bite marks...

Agnes: Now that the little ones are down for a sleep - What brings you all the way to Windenburg? I'm thrilled that you're here - but thats not an easy journey for a young woman alone...

Sarah: Although I am overjoyed to see you again.. I come due to troubles back home...

Agnes: Is it our dear brother Tristan?

Sarah: I am afraid so... He continues to lead his growing group of bandits... And although I love him dearly, especially for all that he has done for us, I am afraid I must leave... I have heard him making plans to marry me to one of his fellow bandits - and the life of a bandit's wife is not what I would like.

Agnes: Nor is it a life I would want for you, my dear Sarah. Let me plead with my husband. Perhaps we can take you in, and eventually help you find a reputable man to settle with since you are of marrying age.

Sarah: Oh thank you, Agnes. I knew that I could count on you.

Agnes: Of course! I would like to see it that neither of us must ever beg again, or rely on Tristan's Henford Hill Bandits...

Agnes musters up the courage and tells Eathun that they are expecting. As she anticipated, Eathun is thrilled with the news.

She cannot help it and is unable to hide her dismay.

Eathun: My love... Is something wrong? You don't seem overjoyed about this news...

Agnes: I don't want to lose another. My heart cannot have another join our little Abraham...

Eathun: And so we shall pray day and night to the Watcher for mercy. But whatever the will of the Watcher is, we must follow.

Agnes: ... As much as I would love for us to have a full flock of little ones, I would rather we had no more so that we do not tempt the fates...

Eathun: Oh, Dearest wife... It pains me to hear you say that...

Although Agnes is young, healthy, and loves her husband dearly, she is terrified of becoming pregnant once more... This is not a view that she can share with Eathun, nor can she avoid marital duties that may lead to another babe.

And so she prays in secret that they will struggle to fall pregnant again... Completely unaware that both she and Eathun's high fertilities will make her prayer fall on unlistening ears. (Sorry girl, the dice want what the dice want).

But even Eathun isn't blind to Agnes' sorrow... and with only 6 months since the loss of their little Abraham, he isn't totally unaware of the reasons his wife's low mood.

Eathun: And so I must pray. I pray to the Watcher each and every evening for us to be blessed with another child. Once our home is filled with little ones, she will have all the children in the world to love... Only then will her heart heal from the loss of our dear little Ab- ... lost one...
