Someone said to Cutter. Don’t ask me that. In the evening they followed a lovely sound and found a burn overhung by ivy. They hallooed and drank from it like happy animals. Fejh sat in it and it rilled where it hit him. When he swam, his lubberly motion became suddenly graceful.

The lights were clustered at junctions: head-sized globes of some gently burning lava, cool, and no brighter than a covered lamp.
