It's very dark, and full of dust and smoke, when Carlotta and Teja emerge from the bar. They're coming out of a small room in a cellar, into another room.

Just aside the doorway is an old woman, who appears to be unconscious, and is being licked in the face by a small poodle. The second poodle is pawing at a third poodle, also unconscious. There is a pile of rubble in the room, and the mime is nowhere to be seen.

The elderly couple have seen them, and wave.

"You didn't find shelter lass?" Humphrey says.

"Not really." Carlotta says.

"Come and have some cocoa, we got the stove lit inside." Humphrey's wife says. "We're just sitting here to comfort the horses."

"This fire and noise must be so fearsome to them," Teja says. "Greetings! I would go and see Orion, also, for he might remember me."

Carlotta sits next to the couple, explaining vaguely that Teja is her uncle and raised Orion.

Orion appears to be rather pleased to see his old friend!

Teja speaks gently to the horse and pats his neck, to calm them both as the falling bombs shake the very ground of the stricken city.
