*Sits up with a startle as the nudge digs into her side, looking around suddenly, putting her hands to both sides of her face to stop the world from spinning....the wine seems to have made the earth tilted ever so slightly....as her vision corrects itself she sees cyn, smiling brightly, pointing outside of the wagon....raising herself a bit she follows cyn's interest and beholds a wonderful sight...HOME. At last, back to MacLaaran and the farm they love so well....She grabs cyn, hugging her tightly as they both fall back upon the straw....* We made it cyn....we're home...

laffin spittin straw oot of 'er mouth she scrambles to 'er knees as tha wagon ambles doon tha path smilin at the beautiful flowers gracin tha shop doors wavin at tha village merchants breathes in tha sweet smell of 'eather looking anxiously t' where O/our 'ame is ...frowns an draws 'er brow in as we round tha bend an tha weeds are high ...jolts an rocks forward frae an unmaintained pothole in tha dirt path ....grabs M'Lady's arm an drags 'er t' tha edge of tha wagon ...pointing at whit appears t' be an ore grown grassy brushy weedy like mound with a droopin wooden patched roof .......Tha couldnae be it M'Lady .....nearly falls oot of the wagon as it lurches t' a stop an a barrel shaped Mon stinking of dirty socks spits on tha foot board an tells us t' git oot .....grabbin 'er pack an scoochin oot of tha wagon jist stands on tha side of tha road mouth agape ...then jist starts t' giggle ...were W/we gone tha lang?

*taking in the sites of the village, smiling as we pass the familiar shops....attempting to pin back pieces of hair as they fly out of their clasp over every bump we cross, quickly forgetting my mission as cyn pulls my arm, allowing blonde curls to fall over my shoulders.... laughing as I toss the pins in my bag...turning my attention back to cyn, noticing the deep frown upon her face...once again following her gaze, my own jaw falling open at the view. What once was our beautiful home, full of flowers and herbs, cyn's beautiful garden, our cozy cottage... now stood amidst a forest of weeds, a sorry shack and a few remnants of our flowerbed. Glancing from cyn to our home, back to cyn....raising a hand to my mouth to cover a soft chuckle....we must have forgotten to pay the rent...*wiggling my eyebrows at her as I chuckle loudly*....
-
Jist giggles an nods....welp ...draggin You by tha 'and and trudging through whit once was a pebbled path ...there no place like 'ame ....carelessly kicking away weeds an trash tha 'ave compiled alang tha path an commin t' tha door ...turns an looks ore my shoulder jist excited t' be 'ame ...cyn cannae wait t' clean up things an git up t' tha castle ....she's still talking t' you as she reaches fer where tha door 'andle used t' be wi' her key an makes contact with wood instead accidently pushing against it ...she jumps back wi' a wimper as tha whole door falls in with a huge cloud of dust 'er eyes go wide an 'er mouth forms a perfect "O" as tha dust settles ...she jist giggles an turns to 'er friend 'oldin up 'er key ...cyn dun ken we will need these anymore ......
-
*Graciously following you as you lead me through the mini-forest of what used to be our humble abode...listening intently as you talk of weeding, making new bed linens, curtains....stumbling as the high weeds pull my skirt back making it difficult to walk....nodding in agreement and excitment as we reach the door...watching as you lean forward to unlock it....jumping back with a startle as the entire wood casing collapses in front of us...laughing out loud as the dust cloud settles over you....taking the key from your hand as I walk past you, scooping your arm in mine...."You were saying love.." ....chuckling as we step inside*...
-
*Handing the clerk a few coins for the beautiful linens I've just purchased, thanking her kindly for her hard work, before scooping them into my arms and stepping out into the village. Walking slowly, taking in the busy sights and sounds of the shops....chuckling softly as a chicken or two stops me in my tracks, reminding me exactly who's road I'm traveling.....hugging the linens close to me for warmth as I near the edge of the village....making my way through nearly waist high weeds to the repaired front door of the cottage cyn and I share. Stopping just in front of the home we've put so much of our hearts into, sighing softly as I glance about...wondering where cyn has been for such a long time, stuffing the worry down deep inside, reminding myself she's very capable of handling any situation she may be in, as I enter our home. Pushing a strand of curls away from my cheek as I place the linens on a small wooden table, looking about the place with a smile....I begin the task of hanging my new linens over the bare windows, using small pieces of rope to tie them to the sides. Stopping when I've finished to inspect my work, muttering softly to myself "Not bad at all M'Lady"....Looking to the castle through the newly framed window....sadness grabbing me for a moment, before looking away....deciding a warm fire would do me well for the evening, heading outside to gather some wood....knowing it will be a chilly night ahead...and a very lonely one at that."
-
*Sweeping the last of the cobwebs and dust out the front door...resting the stick handle of the broom against the wall as I step outside behind the cloud of dirtiness....walking around the cottage to the neatly piled sticks, enjoying the clean air as I grab a bundle and head back in toward the fire....with the fire nice and warm, the windows covered, everything dusted and swept, the scent of fresh herbs and spices floating through the air the cottage is feeling more like home everyday....my thoughts again turn to cyn, and what could have possibly happened that has kept her away for so long....I quiet the pounding of my heart with a hot cup of tea....moving the beautifully constructed wooden rocking chair near the fire, rocking slowly as I watch the flames flicker....my thoughts drifting in many different directions...when....something moves! I see...."something"....move stealthily across the floor....My Rocking ceases, I'm terrified to turn and fully view what's in the cottage with me....finally after much assurance from my inner voice, I count to three and turn my whole body in the direction of "the shadow" only to spy a HUGE black rat.....screaming wasn't an option as my vocal chords were completely restricted, there was no airflow.....I stare...in horror...at this HUGE, ugly, fat black rat...that seems to be smiling at me.....I'm sure it is.......When my paralysis ends, and I'm finally able to take breaths in short rapid patterns, I become angry...my eyes dart madly around the cottage, I quickly spy the wooden broom I had placed by the door earlier...A WEAPON...Yes, but how do I reach it....*MY inner voice screams madly*...I breath, quickly.....Standing slowly I watch the beast, he's busy inspecting the corner of my cottage, no doubt looking for all of the crumbs I just swept out the door.....I softly, almost as if floating, cross the cottage floor, wrapping my fingers around the wooden handle, slowly grabbing the lower end with my other hand...........it's then that my inner, terried, screaming, horror filled, Lady is set free....I run toward the beast, screaming and yelling, on my own divine war path....striking the floor next to him, behind him....he bolts....straight across the floor, around the table, my broom bristles following him closely.....he sees the exit and seems to speed up as he nears it, eventually shooting through the smallest of holes where the wall meets the floor....my broom quickly slaps over the hole, as do several books, a large bucket of water and my trunk....collapsing on the floor after pushing the massive trunk in front of the hole....whispering softly to myself...."and you're NOT welcome back"....sliding to the floor as I contemplate protectors....cats, dogs...and well trained man....
-
*Thanking the burly man as I place a few coins in his hand, the repairs to the cottage look great and have made my home "rat proof", he's assured me.....closing the door behind him, I busy myself finishing a few chores before company arrives. Finding a pot big enough to accomodate a meal for two, I go about chopping fresh herbs and vegetables to place within....carrying it to the fire to simmer, I turn my attention to setting the table....spreading a fresh clean linen over the hard wood....retrieving settings for two, placing a loaf of bread, fresh from the baker, in the middle of the table along with a candle....stepping back to inspect my work, nodding with a smile. I head for my trunk to see what I can find to wear for the evening, choosing a soft, simple dress and wrap...pulling my curls back in a pin. Glancing out a window facing the castle as I head to put a kettle on the fire as well....a cup of warm tea would be divine. Taking a seat in the sturdy chair near the fire as I check on the stew and await the sound of a knock...*
-
.It had been ages since my travels had allowed me to come back here...the home I loved so well....My stted knew the way better than I did and i was near asleep when I came alert as soon as I smelled something that seemd to be a home cooked meal.
..I dismounted and carefully approached the cabin that showed signs of severe neglect...but it had smoke coming from the chimney and I hadn't had a regular meal in weeks.
...In order to save my hide from an angry farmer..,mercy knows there were enough of em on my trail,I began to whistle a soft tune,announcing my presence...hopint that whomever was inside would be kind enough to offer a weary Lord a bite to eat.
-
*My rocking ceases as I hear the faintest of noises, leaning forward slightly to listen...is that....yes, it has to be.....he's whistling. Chuckling to myself as I rise from the chair, setting my cup of tea on the table, heading towards the front door....cracking it slightly as I hear the whistling getting louder, his form appearing just outside the darkness......opening the door a tad wider as I smile at the approaching man....looking so handsome, and tired*...."You found me.."....*waving for him to come in out of the cold*....*Leaning up to kiss his cheek as he enters, gently closing the door behind him, shrugging up at him with a smile upon my face*..."I hope you're hungry"....
-
......A more pleasant sight could not have met my eyes as the door opened and I was greeted by a vision of loveliness and not some farmer with a long memory.....feeling a warm smile form on my face I stepped inside and embraced the Lady with a warm hug..
....Pausing momentarily before I reply...and finally answering her question.."Aye M'Lady..This Lord is hungry for food and your gracious company as well."
-
*Returning your warm hug, smiling up at you as I turn and offer you a chair*...Have a seat, you look tired. *Pulling a chair out for you as I grab a rag and head towards the fire, opening the lid to stir the stew a bit, raising a spoonful to my lips, tasting it, washing the flavors around in my mouth, nodding gently at it's pleasing warmth. Gathering the bowls as I go about filling them with the hearty meal....placing one in front of you, filling your cup with the best bourbon I could find in the village....smiling as I do. Finally taking a seat across from you, smiling softly*...Shall we?
-
...I had stood there watching with a gentle smile on my face as she fussed with the cooking....oddly feeling so comfortable and at ease....holding out her chair for her and then taking my own..taking her hands in mine and saying a small prayer of thanksgiving...for gifts already received....then lifting my glass and toasting our long friendship....
-
*Tilting my glass of wine toward ye and toasting to our occassion, smiling as I take a small sip, sighing softly as I enjoy your presence....asking softly*....So, where have ye been for such a long time, and what brought ye home M'Lord...*tilting my head at ye curiously before taking a small bite.*
-
*.taking a small sip of the dark bourbon....pausing and then answering*......things have managed to take me away for large amounts of time...various duties have prevented me from being here like I used to be....at the risk of a bit less sleep I have managed to find my way back and have been pleasantly surprised to see you have returned home...
-
*Pausing for a moment, listening to ye speak, a small smile forming at your words*...I have been just as pleased to see ye about as well....*searching your eyes, sighing softly*....I would be honored if ye would join me again for a meal, or conversation...*glancing around the small cottage*...It's very nice to have company...*soft smiles*....I hope ye plan to stay now that you're here, back at MacLaaran I mean...*raising an eyebrow at ye, anticipating your answer*...
-
*.feeling that wicked grin on my face as I listen*....stay?...here?....Now..that is a very generous offer but it is a bit early eh?....I will be here a bit more often now....somehow
-
*Chuckles softly at ye*...No, I meant at the Castle...I do hope you'll be around from now on. It's been so wonderful to have you back, and I'm sure I speak for many when I say that. *Seeing you place your spoon to the side I rise and gather our dishes, placing them in a bucket to wash later, tidying up the table before offering your a chair near the fireplace*....Would you like to sit for a bit, or do you need to be getting back to the castle? *looking to you with a smile*..
-
I wouldn't go so far as to say many are happy...*grinning*....there is a lil matter of a handful of inconsiderate farmers to be concerned about...as far as sleeping arrangements...well...we shall see about those...
I would enjoy a bit more of your time before I seek my rest though...*smiling warmly*
-
~passing through the MacLaaran village, seeing a cottage that once was unused now inhabited, pulling the wagon to a stop as I peer toward the door, pushing glasses up on my nose~ Hmmmm, looks like new residents. ~said to myself as I scrawled a note on a small parchment. I then hopped out of the wagon and fastened the note to the door.~
Welcome extended to You. Hope You are settling in. If You have need of items for Your home, feel free to contact Me. There are several in the Castle who have received My services and I'm sure would be happy to recommend Me.
Havune Wul
Lisenced Decorator
~glancing over the note once more, satisfied, then climbing back into the wagon, picking up the reins and heading off to my next destination~
-
*Smiling over at ye as I extend a hand toward a chair next to the fireplace*...I'd love you to stay awhile...please find a seat. *Following you, and slowly sitting in rocking chair across from ye, glancing toward the flickering flames, speaking softly as I turn to face ye*...I find myself thinking of cyn....wondering where she could be, what has possibly kept her away this long....she loved this cottage...*smiling softly*...she was so gifted with her herb garden, repairs, cooking, sewing....you name it cyn could fashion it for ye....*frowns a bit at the thought*...I truly hope she's well....I await the day I'm able to hug her again...*smiling softly at ye, my rocking ceasing for a moment, tilting an ear toward the door, looking over at ye*...did ye hear something? *Standing, hesitating a bit before I move toward the door*....

((Okay, laughing a tad, I've been busy since the Xmas and New Years holidays and missed these recent posts. I'm running two football playoff leagues, but Aurora pointed these out for me. I'll try and pay closer attention. Welcome back Lord Gray. I did speak wi' Lexi a few weeks back. I eventually removed cyn's farm months ago and Alexis still has chambers in the castle. Let me know what ye want done here and I'll try and comply.))
-
((I've invested quite a bit of time here, the cottage would be wonderful...or "cyn's farm"....I'm sure she'll return eventually as well. Sorry, I thought we had covered that in our conversation. Thanks.))
-
((I'll try and put cyn's cottage back on the map today. I need to add it back on the website, too, which might take a little longer... I'll leave Alexis' chambers in the castle, even though she'll probably be living in that farm/cottage most of the time. likr Dami and Will do in their cottage. Lord Gray still has chambers on the 4th floor down the hall from Alexis. Please let me know if this works for you.
Thanks,
Kyle))
-
((That sounds great.
Thank you,
Lexi))
-
oh...I do?...well...that is simply wonderful...Thanks Kyle..*S*
-
...I left the Castle before dawn....stopping at the smithy's to borrow a few tools and made my way to the cottage...blinking and taking a look at it in the new dawn I saw in how much disrepair it had fallen.
...Removing the saw,rake and shovel from the bindings on the saddle I set them down and began to work my way around the entire hut...cutting back all of the overgrown greenery...not stopping until the sun was able to reach the windows again.
....I worked diligently,sweating hard as I labored....soooo unused to actual labor...(chuckling..no comments)...hoping that soon there might be some rich coffee to fuel me ...
-
*Making my way from the village, squinting against the late afternoon sun....fiddling with the newly purchased fabrics in my basket....the cool breeze feeling fresh on my warm skin, pushing long pieces of hair from my face as I catch a movement near the cottage....slowly coming to a stop to inspect the visitor....watching the handsome man labor with piles of overgrown weeds and shrubbery....my heart smiling as I recognize the determined features of Lord Gray, tilting my head slightly as a smile forms on my lips....standing a moment to enjoy the view. Chuckling as I finally divert my gaze, taking in the whole of the cottage.....the structure clearly visible with not one dead weed covering anything...it seems to breath life again...the faintest hint of a happy home.....finishing my walk up to the cottage, nearing the handsome man with a surprised smile upon my face, touching his arm lightly*....It looks great....ye must be exhausted...*glancing from the Lord to the several piles of wood and weeds, and back to Gray*....Why don't I take these things inside, fetch us both a drink, and I'll help with whatever needs to be done...*leaning up to kiss your cheek as I pass by you and into the cottage*...
-
........*feeling the sweat drop into my eyes and brushing it away as I squint through the sunlight at her...knowing I must look a sight but glad for her company."Aye M'Lady...a drink wid be perfect."
...I placed the tools up against the side of the cottage and looked around to make sure that I hadn't missed anything...turning to look at her as she walked away and smiling at the sight..
....sitting on the ground under the shade of the nearest tree and making mental notes...,(yes..I know...small ones no doubt),of the repairs that need to be made...knowing that sooner or later I will inspect the interior and come up with a list of things that need to be done.
...thinking back and wondering if Kyle and lava will let me take measurements for a swing.....hmmmmmm....
-
*Making my way out of the cottage with the fresh water, stopping for a moment as my eyes adjust in the bright sunlight, spotting you under a tree....smiling as I slowly walk over and hand ye the cool liquid....turning to inspect the work you've done thus far*...It's looks great M'Lord....very...*tilting my head slightly to the side*....fresh. *nodding with satisfaction at the chosen word*...It's beginning to look like a cozy home....Some flowers around the front would look wonderful this spring, and maybe a nice cobble stone walk up to the door...so much to do...*turning to look at ye with a smile, joining ye on the ground, nestling against you as the afternoon breeze is a bit chilly, turning to rest my chin on your shoulder as I ask quietly*...would ye like my help with anything....
-
*squinting my eyes as she reappears...gasping and clutching my chest as I see her beverage of choice....waving my hand vigorously in front of me from side to side.."Nae...none for me,I'll suffer..".(G)...
"I know nought about flowers so perhaps you can plant those...I will see what I can do about scarin up some laborers for the pathway......"
"fresh....fresh you say?...or were you referring to me by any chance?"
-
*Frowning at your reaction to the water, placing a cup in your hands*...Water will do you well. *smiling sweetly as I take a seat next to ye again, nodding at your suggestions*...I'd love to plant the flowers, I'll have to wait until I'm sure there will be no frost to harm them...and the stone walk would be wonderful. *Turning to kiss you gently*...I appreciate all of your help...the cottage is slowly turning into a nice little home...not only that...*taking a small sip of my water*...I rather enjoy having you around....*shyly glancing toward the village, sighing softly before turning to look at ye*....What's our next project? *s*....
-
*chuckling as I take the water and pour it over my head where it is more likely to do some good...smiling gently with her kiss...*
....Oh..I have all sorts of suggestions...but I am thinking you are talking about renovations instead....
..."I think that perhaps we should inspect inside and make of list of things that need to be repaired first..after that you can decide what additions you might like after the repairs are done...and...well....I sorta enjoy being useful around here...and useful again...
-
I'm not sure renovations or additions are necessary right now...*glancing toward the cottage*...It's very comfortable for two...or, one....*grins*...
*Turns back to you, rolling my eyes as I inspect the water dripping from your hair*...It's freezing out here and you're pouring water over your head....*shaking my head at ye as I chuckle*....
*Rising from the ground, offering ye a hand*...How about we retire inside next to the fire and I'll fix you a nice bourbon....
-
*chuckling slightly as I take yer hand...walking with you into the cottage...."It was the best thing I could do wie the water ..I wid sorely hate to shock my entire system...but I will take you up on that offer"
-
*Smiling softly as ye grasp my hand, leading ye up to the cottage and inside the door*......"After all our hard work, I think we deserve a lil break".....*winks over at ye as I turn and quietly close the door behind us*....
-
...My eyes slowly adjusting to the dimmer light inside of the cottage as we enter...hearing the door close behind me and twitching slightly...shrugging a bit as my mind wanders to simple pleasures..(not that ya bunch of pervs)...such as the company of friends and the sense of belonging.....
-
*Turning to ye as I close the door, stretching slightly after the long day....smiling over at ye as I pull pins from my hair, allowing the long curls to spill over my shoulders....slowly making my way to the cupboard which houses the bourbon, finding a glass, using my apron to quickly wipe the bottom and sides before filling the cup with liquid...stepping lightly toward ye as I hand ye the cup*....Here ye are....*standing on my tiptoes to give your cheek a soft kiss before retiring to the chair in front of the warm fire....slipping out of my shoes, stretching my lil feet towards the heat, leaning back to watch ye and rock gently as the day comes to an end*...
-
....*Smiling as I watch you...and blushing slightly as you kiss my cheek...accepting the bourbon and following you as you move past the fire,all too quickly,and settle down...pulling a chair alongside of you...taking a sip of the bourbon*
You look better with your hair down like that Lexi...
-
*Tilting my head a bit to the side as I smile over at ye*....Thank ye, tis very nice of ye to say.....
*Glancing back to the fire, rocking gently in the chair*...It would seem our day has come to an end....*Turning toward ye*....I dislike that. *chuckling softly*....
"I enjoy having ye here Gray, I'm sure I speak for those at the Castle as well....it's been wonderful to have you close......I, especially, want ye to stay....*searching yer eyes, before glancing around the cozy cottage*....and there is so much to do....should keep both of us busy for quite some time....*winking at ye*.....
-
....Have I ever mentioned that when it comes to Ladies that I find them most confusing?
For instance...*L*.You mentioned that my compliment was nice and then you said I dislike that....
I suppose that I can let you explain things to me....I have nothing but time on my hands...and yes....*lifting my eyes and glancing at you with a lil smile*...There is much,much to do
-
*chuckles softly at ye*...Well, allow me to clarify....*winks over at ye*....I thanked ye kindly for the compliment, it was very nice of ye to say. However, it would seem our day is coming to an end rapidly...which is quite sad, so I said I disliked that....I enjoy being with ye....call me crazy....*rolls my eyes at ye and grins*....
*Shivering slightly as I pull my legs up beneath me, leaning toward the warmth of the fireplace*...Tis so cold outside.....do you plan to journey back to the castle this eve M'Lord? *looks to ye with a soft smile*...
-
........*listening to your expanation wie a crooked lil grin on my face...peeking out of the window ...noticing the darkness replacing the quickly fading sun......*
".I have a rule about travelling now......I make sure I never travel after sunset....wid hate to have any accidents in the dark ye ken!..."
.*rising from my chair and holding out my hand for you...noticing a warm looking blanket on the adjacent couch*.."maybe we could sit together and try to keep this cold chill from making my bones ache so much"
-
*Smiling up at ye, slowly rising from my chair....stretching for a moment before sliding toward the door, my small bare feet making hardly a sound as I tiptoe across the floor, settling the wooden lock in place, I turn to face you, a small smile forming*....I would love your company...and I agree, it's much to dark....and much to cold to be traveling back to the Castle t'night.....*moving to the nearest window, undoing the ribbon that holds the curtains to the side, allowing them to fall and blanket the entire window.....blowing out candles on my way back to you*...The fire should be fine....I don't think there will be a chill in here this evening anyway...*reaches for yer hand, giving it a lil squeeze*....Shall we?
-
.*smiling as I watch you move about the room...taking your wee hand in mine and squeezing slightly*...The light from the fire is just perfect....Aye...we shall
-
*Smiling softly as I slip a tiny hand in yours, leading ye to the seat for two....allowing you time to get comfortable before slipping in beside ye...wrapping around you as I snuggle in close....as our night draws to an end...I enjoy the warmth of the evening and you...nibbling softly on your ear before whispering*....."Thank ye...I'm so happy you're back."...*sighing softly at the peace and wonderment I feel*....
((Drawing the curtain on this r/p for the "evening"....you didn't think we'd make our night that "public" did you? *chuckles*....Happy Valentine's Day everyone....I hope it's incredibly special for all of you...))
-
...Pokes Lexi...you forgot to blow out the candles...
-
~peeks over~ c'mon now..you both can't still be celebrating since Valentine's Day! What's happened since? Where's the...sequel? ~lol~
-
*rmes*...Pay attention Prae....Moved to Port Thunder lang ago

*pouts*

I havne't passed on lava..*hugs*
-
*rmes*...Pay attention Prae....Moved to Port Thunder lang ago
Goodness...do you really think I'm following ye around M'lord? I mean..you don't send missives...nae a writing...how am I supposed to keep up with ye? ~laughs~ Eiluna's been mum about it too, despite incentives of running ads in the Herald! ~chuckling~
-
What kind of incentive are ye speaking of, M'Lord Prae? I dun think ye spoke of that to me... and not sure what ye would be thinking of that I should be advertising...
lava, I assure you My Lord Gray shall be visiting again soon... he has been working much too hard this past summer, but he doth swear that his load will lighten soon!
-
I would never insinuate that ye were meaning to advertise, Lady Eiluna! ~chuckles~ Not even in conjunction with Sunset Blvd for that matter! ~ducking and laughing~
And we did speak....but t'was an interview and I was asking the questions so and lifting the facts from yur words so no doubt....ye were confused. ~laughs lots~
-
*laughs as Prae refers to the interactive story on the Medieval board*
Oh, dear... Prae, ye were interviewing me? I do hope I said nothing too... revealing? I would hate to have a scandal appear in that rag, er, fine publication of yours!! ;)
-
That's it....just keep pushing it! ~snickers~ We'll see what it takes to have LG reveal a photo of ye for the Page 3. ~wink~
-
I know a certain bard who thinks you two never stop working. No one is about to amuse her! Don't forget what happened the last time she wa...er...Stormi...er...the patrons were bored. *nods*
-
~reads and reads again and looks puzzled, figuring Aspen's talking about LG and Eiluna....or she hit her own noggin with a table leg this time. ~lol~
-
Prae.....For far too many reasons to list here in fear of going on a rant the likes of which this thread has never seen before...I will refrain from casting aspersions on your choice of profession...
..See...Exactly ..by yer own words...A journalist has many sources.....and need not have to speak directly to me in any event...Why let facts stand in the way of a good story anyhow..*W*...
-
...*s*...I promise lava...I will be on juss a lil bit more...

Stoppin at tha stream an tippin tha wooden bucket into tha sparklin cool water she makes a mental note of things she will need ......rope....wool....wood....a sharp axe....she wonders ifin there still be aine boot tha village tha works leather fer new shoes....hoisting tha bucket of water wi' ease she stops near tha garden shed at tha back of tha cottage an grabs a teathered rope an whisked broom ....'eadin back t' tha cottage leavin tha water an broom jist inside she takes tha rope t' tha back of tha cottage an ties it firmly between two trees...'eadin back inside t' 'er room she carefully pulls tha cloth frae 'er bed disturbin tha dust as lil as possible ....grabbin tha feather doon pillows as well she takes them ootside an shakes them oot 'angin tha cloth an tha strung rope t' air oot ...beatin tha dust frae tha pillows thinkin tis prolly best jist t' re-stuff them...sets them aside an sets boot t' give tha cottage a thourough cleaning....
As night creeps upon 'er she is jist boot finished wi' 'er cleanin tossin oot tha now dirty bucket o' water she looks boot tha place she calls 'ame smilin wi' a wee bit o' satisfaction....wrappin 'er felt in gentle pleats over a sandy colored chemise around 'er slender waist pullin 'er sash ore 'er shoulder an puttin two pins in place she 'eids back t' tha castle t' bother cookie for some scones an honey....
Chattin a wee bit wi' cookie boot the who's it's and what's it's of tha castle gossip she 'eids t' tha library 'opin t' see if there is a record of current merchants in tha village an wit textiles if any are available t' 'er .....she opens aine of tha castle ledgers usin tha tip o' 'er nail she scrolls doon lookin at names searchin fer leather workers...smithies....linens....someaine who 'as flax or does bow strings she can 'ear people gatherin boot tha 'all as she continues 'er search
