( Franklin has taken to dividing his time between Herian and Cosima, as her health improved. He had trotted off to find Cosima as soon as Herian reached the training yard, but apparently in the wrong direction.
Even in years past, Herian's assumption was that Cosima would most like be late, simply because judging the passage of time was not at the forefront of her mind. Now, more than ever, there was a high likelihood of plans being pre-empted by something urgent and unforeseen. (As much as Herian appreciates the certainty of rigid timetables, Cosima embracing punctuality might, in some ways, prove the most alarming.)
It is not until Cosima is seated or flopped on the sand to take a break that he appears. The first sign is the wet poke of Franklin's nose at her neck. The second is the gift of a pinecone, dropped in her lap.
Herian hands her a flask of water, apparently oblivious to the dog snuffling at Cosima and trying to get her to play. )
