She listens, glancing back toward Hildegard in the little shelter as she considers.

She’d like to be somewhere safer, more secure, maybe even with trusted people around--certainly better than hiding in a lean-to by a river--but getting there, that’s the problem. She could go with Kate and leave Hildegard to follow, after dark, but while she has no doubt Hildegard could track them, she doesn’t want to take any chances--what if they get separated? What if Weyland comes, and he can only find one of them? She won’t let him down. She’s the one who has to make the family decisions, while he’s away.

It’s not exactly easy for her, though.

So she does her best to convey, with gestures--drawing an imaginary box on the side of the saddlebag, imaginary lines on it to represent roads and rivers, a map. She’ll need to know where to go, and she can direct Hildegard.

But then the harder part--harder to convey this way, especially. She points to the spot on the invisible map that she has decided represents the ranch, and then mimes turning up a lamp.

Tell me where to go. And at night, you go outside with a lantern and wait for us. We will find you.
