Their arms entwined, Yngvildr and Cuthbert stroll slowly back and they are not in a hurry at all. They stop repeatedly for some kissing and hugging and more kissing and hugging, but it cannot be helped, eventually they reach the Boar.

Despite being absorbed by her new love, Yngvildr notices Amalasuntha and Kon (with Dallas in safe distance from the lady) standing together... and the otherwise so energetic cook has a very worried expression on her face.

"Something seems to be very wrong... and although I would so much like to be alone with you and get to know you better... but Amalasuntha has been such a dear friend and if she is in trouble I have to see if I can be of support.. sure you will understand?"

She looks at Cuthbert with pleading eyes and although he seems not entirely happy about the situation he smiles back at her. So she takes him by the hand and together they approach the troubled Amalasuntha who gives them a brief outline on what happened. Yngvildr spontaneously touches the beautiful necklace she is wearing... now she is glad she decided to put on all the ornaments she owns for the sacrifice.. only a few and not overly valuable but they are precious to her nonetheless.

"Hmmmmmmm...I wonder if something else is missing? How could we find out without causing a stir?"
