Cutter Chuckled saying, Let it not be said I am not a man of compassion, I tried to leave you with more then you did my poor brother. If death is what you seek then so be it. I think you shall have a long wait for us to continue this discussion. With imperceptible movement, Cutter gave the signal for his men to encircle Grundal...
Grundal made mental note of each mans position as they moved in around him
As the first man made his attack Grundal parried then brought the pommel of his weapon up words then pulling back hard with his left hand upon the cross piece smashing the man under his chin. The bare chested man had no time to watch his foe fall to the ground as teeth and blood flew from the mans now shattered mouth. Three more attacks came in Grundal parried and dodged two of them but was not fast enough to avoid one attackers slashing motion. The short swords blade bit into Grundals left side,not to deep but enough to cause a 3 inch gash upon the already badly scarred skin. Feeling the sting of the attack but knowing he could not show he noticed for doing so would spur his attackers on to more daring attempts. spinning and whirling first left then right He fended off attack after attack with blades swirling about his body faster then he had known in some time.
These men were skilled grundal thought, well trained unlike most of the ones that had attacked reading. He knew he was pressed beyond his ability to deal with. One on one these men would be worthy opponents but three of them with their leader closing in to strike as well. Even such a master of arms as Ieon McKenny would have been hard pressed to win the day unaided. Swards clanged against one another as grundal took two more wounds one to his upper right thigh and another across his midsection. Though the wounds stung, Grundal knew they were superficial in nature and presented no immediate threat to him but how long would it be before Cutter moved in to lend his Axe and dagger to the already overwhelming attacks...
Just then with in the bushes grundal saw movement. Wonderful Grundal thought, how many more will join this fray of death

Elmix, wecome to Morgan Manor. What brings you here?
A servant brings tea for Richgrams, along with a plate of pastries.
Do try one of these, Elmix, you'll be amazed at how good they are.

Blood spattered the ground as Oda watched the first attack on Grundal fail. He would have to pick the right time to show himself, when they are fully concentrated on Grundal.
Waiting for his moment, Oda prepared himself. Watching as Grundal tried to defend against his attackers, he was sliced at least 3 times. It was time, as Oda saw the three soldiers advance forwards, with their leader following, all looking at Grundal.
"ARRRRGH!" Oda burst out of the bushes, shouting as loud as he could, hoping to draw as much attention to himself as could.
He ran straight toward the soldier closest to him, lifting his sword high in the air, he could see the smirk on the soldiers face as he drew closer. Oda brought his sword down like a hammer, only to have it pushed aside by very well placed short sword strike. This isn't going to be easy. Oda stepped back and lifted his sword upwards, with another fierce swing, he slammed it back down just missing an almost perfect blow to the mans collar bone.
Having a small chance to look towards Grundal, Oda noticed he was handling three men instead of four much better.

Blow after blow was brought upon The man from Reading. His mussels still weary from the earlier battle practice. He knew his endurance would falter sooner then aid could possible arrive. As the attackers advanced and cutters Axe loomed threateningly close by. Grundal back peddles as he became more accustomed to the style of battle the men used. With that understanding he took no more hits upon his flesh. Still the best he could do was a stale mate as no opening presented its self with out leaving him too vulnerable in return.
Then a battle roar emanating from the bushes thundered against his ears, as a most welcome sight emerged from the place he has seen the movement Thank Jah Grundal whispered, Cousin Oda will even things up a bit.
Hearing the roar, Cutter paid no attention to it as one of his men disengaged to intercept the interloper. Feeling superior in all ways to the man who had taken his brothers life, he gave a signal for one of the remaining men to join the other.
Well looks like you shall have some company Mr Mcginnis. Yet one more person you could not defend. My how lowly you must feel.
With this Cutter begins a sires of lightning fast strikes pressing his advantage before the former mayor could regain his footing and begin some foolish offensive attack...
Old'bil had not stopped his attempts to free him self Kicking all the while as he could see his human leaking life upon the ground. With a loud cracking the stall door burst open setting the Gray stallion free to aid his herd mate...

As the fight raged on, Oda was unable to keep an eye on Grundal. The fight was taking him away from the stables and closer to the gardens. Oda had not said a word to anyone, all his focus was in the fight.
There was no time for elegance or grace in the movements, Oda used all his might and power in the attacks. As the soldier lunged, Oda made a quick step to the right, tripping the man who fell to the ground. Sword raised looking down on the man, Oda sees a shadow and hears footsteps. Turning just in time to block an attack off a second man.
Taking advantage, the man on the floor took a swing at the back of Oda's legs causing a small gash on the back of his right thigh. Undeterred by the small flesh wound, Oda continued to block attacks from the second man, causing several large gashes in the mans chest. He turns around to see the first man come at him again, stepping aside again but this time delivering a sharp blow to the back of the mans head with the hilt of his sword.
With one the men knocked out cold on the floor, the other becomes more aggressive towards Oda. Fueled full of anger Oda let out a loud battle cry again. Three swings towards the man all blocked, the third knocking him off balance. Using this opportunity, Oda thrust his sword forwards will all the strength he could find, straight into the mans stomach, twisting the sword as he heard the blood curdling scream. Oda pulled the sword out still twisting, and watched as the man fell to the ground, trying to grasp the life that was left in him.
Knowing he was done with this man, Oda turned to face the first of the two men as he got to his feet. Looks like theres some left in this one. Still full of energy and adrenaline, Oda waited for the attack.

Elensar arrives at the grand front entrance.
Straightening out her meagre rags as best she can one handed while clutching the fluffy bundle close to her chest with the other she appreciates the beauty of the surrounding shrubs and flowers.
Excitedly, she knocks on the door...

Now how have you been?, I believe your brother Oda is out the back, he will love to see you I am sure
Molly took Elensar to the Parlor

Elensar follows Molly to the parlour
I hope to see my brother shortly. I just came by to visit Lady Richgrams. Hope all is well with you Molly!
Elensar skips into the parlour holding the little ball of fluff tightly.
Good Morrow M'lady she said offering a small curtsey taking care not to drop the tiny creature from her hands.

After having some tea, Elmix did not noticed how fast time passed when Lady Richgrams came down.
This was Elmix's first time here, also he newer knew who he was for long time of his life, also he did not knew he had an aunt, but after he meet good people at Capt'n Morgans they did revield him a lot of things he himself was not aware of.
Thank you for your hospitality Lady Richgrams! Elmix takes one of pastries and tries it, it realy tastes good.
They are realy good, thank you! I came to visit you and see if you are doing good! How are things going to you Lady Richgrams?
Elmix noticed Molly left and soon he saw a young man coming here to parlour where he and Lady Richgrams were talking.

Rosanna looks out from her window. She see yet more people arriving at the manor. She glances down upon the garden. I cannot wait till I am able to work in there she thought. Whilst she was imagining all that she could do she saw Oda approaching. With horror she realised that he was fighting someone with his sword.
She rushed to the parlor and burst through the door.
Someone do something. Oda needs help he is being attacked.

Impressed with the effective blocking the kilt clad man from Reading was able to offer, Cutter continued the relentless assault unabated. holding his right hand armed with axe low near his left knee he swung the blade counter clock wise high to his right then brought the axe quickly downward in a diagonal strike. He had anticipated the block that grundal used and too the blow that had been blocked from his minion by the man they sought to destroy. Following his strike with the axe Cutter lunged forward holding his dagger in a reversed grip striking outward with his left arm high towards grundals exposed neck. This blow too was avoided by his opponents fast ducking motion. Using the momentum from this attack Cuter spun quickly around bringing the axe down low for its next strike...
Grundal was pressed beyond the abilities of standard warfare. The man in front of him used the Florentine style of battle. A style he had only been shown once by his former instructor in the art of blade use . Ieon McKenny had shown him the only effective way to defeat some one using this style of battle was to lay down attack after attack never let them go on the offensive, Ieon had said if they do, the bastard sword is no match for the speed such an opponent could bring to bare and once inside the reach of the sword the shorter weapons used by those that practiced this style of battle would be most devastating. How true he now found those words spoken long ago as he ducked to avoid the dagger strike at his throat . then with spinning blades the axe found its mark biting into his shin slicing thru flesh blood and a bit of bone on its way. Ignoring the explosion of pain as he tried to think of ways to go onto the offensive. Grundal's option were now few with the second man taking strikes of opportunity at his back and sides he knew he would not be able to fight against Cutter with this other opponent at his back.
Then an opening in the other mans defenses presented its self .Grundal quickly made the choice to leave him self open for a brief second to make a thrusting attack on the man who's short sword had swung to wide leaving his midsection wide open to attack. Had Grundal been versed in the language of thieves cant' he may have known the man had been ordered by cutter to make this move. His honor forbidding such knowledge grundal made the strike with his sword digging deeply into the mans torso as Cutter moved in with imperceptible speed to make his final attack...
Old'bil Realizing his new freedom charged out of his stall and down the center of the stables and out the open door way. The stable boy returning from town with a wagon full of new bales of hay saw the stallion gallop out the door. Running to try and catch the steed he sees the battle taking place then turns and runs to the manor to get aid...
Cutter Laughed with glee as grundal exposed his back to him. So careless this Scotsman was to allow such a simple ploy to draw him to his doom Cutter Ignoring the approaching hoof beats, sent his axe on its final mission to avenge his brother and take back what was his. Cutters surprise was compleet as the flash of Gray coat and hoofs flashed before him.
Old'Bil had arrived reared on hind legs striking out with front hoofs. Blow after blow from the mighty steed landed until Cutters last thought were of the darkness he found hims self to be falling in...

As Rosanna burst into the parlor, nearly knocking Elensar over, Elmix rose.
Richgrams opened the guarded door just in time for Elmix to run through it and towards the commotion outside.
The guards followed close behind, sounding the alarm.
The noise in the parlor brought Molly running in from the supervising of the night's meal in the kitchen.
It seems there's big trouble afoot, Molly. Let's clear the tables and prepare bandages, for we are the only ones with any knowledge of doctoring at Morgan Manor.
Turning to Rosanna and Elensar she says
I want you girls to stand ready to help if it's needed. For now, fetch two bowls of water, please,

Running to try and catch the steed he sees the battle taking place then turns and runs to the manor to get aid...
Cutter Laughed with glee as grundal exposed his back to him. So careless this Scotsman was to allow such a simple ploy to draw him to his doom Cutter Ignoring the approaching hoof beats, sent his axe on its final mission to avenge his brother and take back what was his. Cutters surprise was compleet as the flash of Gray coat and hoofs flashed before him.
Old'Bil had arrived reared on hind legs striking out with front hoofs. Blow after blow from the mighty steed landed until Cutters last thought were of the darkness he found hims self to be falling in...

As Rosanna burst into the parlor, nearly knocking Elensar over, Elmix rose.
Richgrams opened the guarded door just in time for Elmix to run through it and towards the commotion outside.
The guards followed close behind, sounding the alarm.
The noise in the parlor brought Molly running in from the supervising of the night's meal in the kitchen.
It seems there's big trouble afoot, Molly. Let's clear the tables and prepare bandages, for we are the only ones with any knowledge of doctoring at Morgan Manor.
Turning to Rosanna and Elensar she says
I want you girls to stand ready to help if it's needed. For now, fetch two bowls of water, please,

Elensar stashes her fluffy pet under a nearby chair.
I'll be back for you soon she says giving him a gentle pat on the head.
She looks at Rosanna and nods Thank you. My brother, Oda, is an excellent fighter but I'm sure he won't begrudge some help. Shall we go to the kitchen? I'm sure we'll be able to find some bowls there for water and maybe some cloths or rags that might be useful for bandages.
Rushing towards the direction Molly had come from she hopes this is the way to the kitchen.

Looking up Molly sees Rosanna and Elensar enter the kitchen.
Quickly now, Rosanna get more water on the stove, Elensar over there in the corner are the bowls. I'm sorry you've come to your kitchen under these circumstances, but you will learn living and working at Morgan Manor is not your average job, always expect the unexpected here!
Molly returned to gathering up cloths and bandages

As Oda stood facing his opponent, he could feel the warm blood trickle down the back of his right leg. The rage was building up inside, nothing mattered now but this mans life, how dare they step onto Morgan property and attack his family. The last thing Oda wanted to see was bloodshed at Morgan Manor, especially that of his or his family.
Using the rage that was building, the attack begun. With a loud clash of metal on metal the two men went at each other. Oda swinging his sword viciously, causing the man to block, weakening him with each strike. The short sword was not much good against Oda's sword, which was longer and heavier.
The battle moved on to the grass which was still moist and slippery. This made it hard to keep balance with the wild swings Oda was taking. The man attacked again, Oda managed to parry and brought his sword down on the mans legs, causing a huge gash over his left knee. Oda lost his footing, making him stick his left arm out to try and rebalance his self. The man swung his sword towards Oda, missing his torso by fractions, but the tip of the sword caught Oda's outstretched hand, almost severing his left thumb.
A huge wave of pain crossed over Oda's hand, as the gash between his left thumb and index finger poured with blood. Undeterred by this second wound, Oda was determined to end this fast.
As the man attacked again, it was blocked by another smashing blow from Oda who swung back as the man moved just out of reach. He could see the pain and tiredness in his eyes. This will be over soon. Oda moved closer and thrust his sword forward again, just managing to slash the mans left side underneath the ribcage. As he fell to the floor, he got another smashing blow to the head, knocking him unconscious on the floor. Oda stood beside him and raised his sword, hilt in the air, tip down. With all his energy, he rammed the sword straight down, severing the mans spine right between the shoulder blades.
Exhausted from the battle, Oda collapses next to the body, using all the strength left in him to pressure his left hand.

Elmix was havinga tea with Lady Richgrams when Rosanna bursted in saying someone was fighting in their garden?
He stood up and rushed through the door wich Lady Richagrams managed open in time. Elmix noticed some more guards following him, but he did not realy payed attention on those.
As he ran out, he saw the battle has already been decided. He recocgized Oda - the man he met in Capt'n Morgans not too long, he did not recognized the other man who was lying there.
By the time guards also ran where they both were. Elmix was used to see similar sights, he was a knigth and expierenced much more worse sights and battles like this one, so he turned to guards and said:
Would some of you bring here litter? It seems Oda needs doctor!
The other man were not moving, so Elmix carefully came closer to him still be prepeared if he planning to trick him and checked if the man was alive. He seemed not to show any signs of life, and after looking more carefully this was for him.
Would someone get rid of him? Again Elmix said to guards. And please check all araud here, perhaps there's some more!
By the time litter was carried here and guards carefully moved Oda on them and carried back in Manor. Elmix joined guards to scout neibhourhood and make sure all who were in Manor are in safety.

Out of the corner of his eye he saw a gray blur rounding the corner of the stable.Trusting his steed with his life he left his back exposed longer then was needed hoping to keep Cutters attention long enough for old'bil to get there and stop the attack that was sure to come. Sure enough grundal Heard the screams from Cutter as the hoofs of his mount impacted time and again against his head and body, The unmistakable crunch of bone could be heard as old'bil proved his worth this day but not as fast as his master had hoped.
The last strike Cutter had found its mark weakened as it was from the attacks the gray stallion had brought. The swing was well aimed as the axe easily slid between two ribs slicing its way under the lower part of his left lung the pain unbelievable grundal fell to the ground in agony unable to draw breath . While he lay there to figures dressed head to toe in black entered the battlefield grabbing Cutter by his shoulders then dragging him into the woods as darkness descended upon grundal in his disbelief

Thank you Lady Molly.
Elensar grabs the two largest bowls she can carry and fills them with water from a near by jug. Placing them on the table she steals a worried glace towards the doorway.
I hope that Oda is not injured badly. Do you think he may have wounds that may require stitching? I have basic sewing skills but I have never...had to use them on a person.
She choked back the tears that were welling up.
But of course I shall do what ever is needed to help. I have only just found my brother, I will not lose him now.
Elensar heard a shout. It was the man who had been in the parlour.
Perhaps we may be in need of an apothecary to help ease the pain of the injured...Lady Molly, do you have any whiskey here?

Rosanna saw the distress on Elensars face and felt for her. She knew what it was like to have just found a family member and would hate for it to be taken away.
When she had worked at the big house she used to slip away into the woods every chance she had. There she had met an old woman, ( some said she was a white witch) that used to gather plants in the woods. Quietly she had sat and listened as the old woman taught her what each plant was for and how to prepare it. As she became older she had grown adept at preparing the mixtures herself.
I have seen some plants near the garden. If someone could come with me I can gather them and prepare the mixtures to help with pain and prevent fevers.

Thank ye Elensar but I think it may be best if ye leave thy pet here. Tis best we take a knife in case we meet trouble.
Rosanna and Elensar took a knife each and quietly slid out to the garden. Staying low they went to where Rosanna had seen the medicinal plants growing.
For sure I had seen more than this Rosanna was upset. We will need to venture into the woods away
Frightened they quietly moved among the trees. They ducked down as they heard approaching footsteps. Through the undergrowth they saw someone being dragged away. Elensar gasped afraid it might be her brother. They gathered the needed plants and ran back to the house.
For a moment they were too shaken to do anything. They threw their arms around each other and hugged. A new friendship was beginning.
Come Ele we must prepare these plants. I will show you how. And don't ye worry too much I'm sure your brother will be fine.
Together they went into the kitchen and quietly worked to prepare the potions needed so they wold be ready for the others to use to attend to the wounded men.

Elensar mashed up the plants she had gathered with Rosanna but was distracted.
Rosanna, is it true that you are Lady Molly's sister? If so, I believe we are cousins.
Elensar returned to the mashing. The plants had a strong-smelling, clean fragrance.
What we heard in the woods...to you think...do you think that was my brother being...taken?
A fleeting expression of worry past over Elensar's face and then she turned away and began to mash more vigorously.
I have to find my brother.

Aye I is Molly's sister. I have just found her again after many years. Like you I have just arrived at the manor. We be cousins and I hope also be friends.
Rosanna left her preparation for a moment to once again hug Elensar.
Try not to worry. I sure it were not your brother who were taken. He be a brave and strong man. The best way we can help is to make these potions and wait till he come back inside. I sure it won't be long now.
Rosanna said these words to her cousin while hoping that all would be well. She didn't know what was going on. She watched Elensar mashing the plants so bravely and vigorously and was concerned at the anguish on her face. Please Jah bring Elensars brother in safely.
She had to keep Elensar busy for she feared she would run outside to seek her brother and put herself in danger.

Arriving at Morgan Manor Xander followed the path to the Stables where he tethered his horse. Feeling some pangs of hunger after a long day, he headed towards the Manor House so he could let people know he and arrived and get something to eat. AS he walked towards the house, he saw in the shadows of the trees what looked to be the form of a man, lying on the ground. Moving closer through the darkness, he stumbled over a lifeless body. Xander drew his sword and proceeded with caution, as he drew closer, he could hear muffled moans.
Reaching the man, he smelt the sickly smell of blood, he knelt beside him
Lie still, breath easy let me look at you
Xander carefully ran his hand over the body, when he got to the ribs he found a large wet sticky patch which could only be blood. He lay down his sword beside him and removed his shirt, using it to try and stem the blood flow from what was obviously an horrific wound.Realising he could not leave him alone
GUARDS GUARDS, SOMEONE! over here I need help!

Oda was relieved to see Elmix arrive at his side. The pain in his hand extreme, and he could now feel the sting on the back his leg. As the guards Elmix had summoned carried him towards the Manor, Oda told them to stop. The first thing he had said since he emerged at the start of the battle. Grundal! No sooner had the thought occurred, Oda heard someone shouting.
GUARDS GUARDS, SOMEONE! over here I need help!
He immediately recognized the voice as Xander's. Turning to the guards who had carried him, Oda instructed them to go straight towards Xander's position.
"Grundal is down there somewhere, maybe Xander has found him, there should be at least two dead men near the stables. Go now! I will go into the Manor, I fear I have lost a lot of blood."
With that, Oda made his way into the kitchen. He was happy to his sister Elensar there with Rosanna. He could see his sister was upset.
"Ele I'd hug you but im covered in blood!" The pain surges across his hand again, Oda was in great pain but tried his best not to show it. "My hand needs to been seen to straight way, I have lost a lot of blood."
Oda shows Rosanna and Elensar the wound on his hand.

Hearing theGuards approach.
Over here Quickly now!
On the arrival of the men he barked out some instructions
You two pick him up gently now, I will keep pressure on the wound to stem the bleeding best I can, lets get him to the house. Quickly now, but be careful!
You get my sword and check the area as we move!
Holding his hands over the wound, as they moved towards the sanctuary of the Manor, Xander felt the chill of the night air on his bare back

That Wound looks very painful and deep, Oda. Please lie down while we help you.
Rosanna has an amazing knowledge of herbs and Elen has helped her prepare something to ease your pain.
Then we must get it stitched right away. It shall be done by the one of us with the steadiest hand - most likely Molly.
Your leg needs tending too, but your hand comes first.
Having said this, Molly enters the kitchen carrying some cloths.

Oda was relieved to see Elmix arrive at his side. The pain in his hand extreme, and he could now feel the sting on the back his leg. As the guards Elmix had summoned carried him towards the Manor, Oda told them to stop. The first thing he had said since he emerged at the start of the battle. Grundal! No sooner had the thought occurred, Oda heard someone shouting.
GUARDS GUARDS, SOMEONE! over here I need help!
He immediately recognized the voice as Xander's. Turning to the guards who had carried him, Oda instructed them to go straight towards Xander's position.
"Grundal is down there somewhere, maybe Xander has found him, there should be at least two dead men near the stables. Go now! I will go into the Manor, I fear I have lost a lot of blood."
With that, Oda made his way into the kitchen. He was happy to his sister Elensar there with Rosanna. He could see his sister was upset.
"Ele I'd hug you but im covered in blood!" The pain surges across his hand again, Oda was in great pain but tried his best not to show it. "My hand needs to been seen to straight way, I have lost a lot of blood."
Oda shows Rosanna and Elensar the wound on his hand.

Hearing theGuards approach.
Over here Quickly now!
On the arrival of the men he barked out some instructions
You two pick him up gently now, I will keep pressure on the wound to stem the bleeding best I can, lets get him to the house. Quickly now, but be careful!
You get my sword and check the area as we move!
Holding his hands over the wound, as they moved towards the sanctuary of the Manor, Xander felt the chill of the night air on his bare back

That Wound looks very painful and deep, Oda. Please lie down while we help you.
Rosanna has an amazing knowledge of herbs and Elen has helped her prepare something to ease your pain.
Then we must get it stitched right away. It shall be done by the one of us with the steadiest hand - most likely Molly.
Your leg needs tending too, but your hand comes first.
Having said this, Molly enters the kitchen carrying some cloths.

Entering the kitchen and seeing Oda being tended By Richgrams and Elen
Quickly lay him on the table, Elen hot water and bandages please, Rosanna I need to to mix up some of your herbs, we need to treat for shock, it will kill just as easily as the bleeding.
Molly got a needle and gut thread and surely stitched up Odas hand.
Now Oda you will live my boy, you will need to take it easy for awhile you have lost alot of blood. Elen can you wash that leg wound and bandage it
Molly heard the door open, she saw two guards carrying Grundal, Xander with no shirt, hands covered in blood holding a blood soaked shirt on what must be a gaping wound to his lower chest. She worked faster.
Get Grundal on that table now!, Richgrams can you finnish off looking after Oda please!
Molly raced to Grundal taking a quick but thorough look, she knew this wound was serious.
OH Jah!, Xander keep the pressure on, while we remove his clothing, I NEED A DOCTOR HERE AND NOW!, Rosanna, more herbal potions quickly, get more water on the stove
She knew Grundal was badly hurt, that quick actions were required for him to survive.
She called to a servant Get a shirt for Xander before he catches his death of cold!

Ele use this to cleanse the wound. Rosanna felt relief and could see the joy in her cousins face as she saw her brother alive.
She went quickly and got the potion required and offered it to Oda.
Oda this will help with the shock and the pain. It will also make you sleepy.
Rosanna then rushed to do as Molly had bid.
Molly in the woods by the river there is a plant that helps to thicken the blood. It helps with great blood loss. Could we spare a guard to take me there?_________________

Elensar gently bathed the wound on Oda's leg using the herb mixture to cleanse as Rosanna had told her to.
Oda, has the potion helped the pain at all? I dread to think what state your opponent is in.
Elensar smiles at her brother.
Now...this may hurt a little.
She rinses the wound with warm water, applies a thick wad of cloth and bandages it tightly as Oda squirms.
She strokes the hair out of his eyes...Now get some sleep brother, you will need all your strength to recover.
Elensar looks for someone to help carry Oda to a bed.

Rosanna took two of the guards and went into the woods. Every noise filled her heart with fear. She quickly led them to the plants and quickly gathered what she needed.
Although she didn't see anyone Rosanna felt a chill run down her spine. She was sure someone was watching them.
Hush. Did ye hear that?
They listened. At first all she could hear was the beating of her heart. Then she heard a stifled sob.
Come She beckoned to the guards. They made their way towards the sound, the guards had their swords at the ready.
Rosanna stumbled. Twas a foot poking out from under a bush. The guard raised his sword ready to strike then stopped.
Why tis only a lad
Before them was a small boy of about 10 yrs. He was injured though not bleeding.
From where do you come boy But the boy was now sobbing uncontrollably and could not answer. Then he stuttered Ppplease don't kill me
Carry the lad back to the manor. I know not if he comes from around here.
They made their way back to the manor.
Grams we have found a wee boy. He has a hurt leg.
Elensar left Oda who was now sleeping heavily from the draft he had taken and came to see the lad. Why I'm sure I have seen this boy before. He was in the woods earlier today.
Rosanna wondered if the boy was in fright because he had witnessed the fight or if was in some way involved with the people that had come. However she had another draft to prepare as Grundal was looking even worse than before. As she prepared the draft she began to make plans for the garden. If Grams will allow it I will make a herb garden so that all we need is on hand, Twod be better if we had a stock of these drafts.
She prepared the mixture and took it to Molly.
Oh Molly I hope this works. Tis better if the draft is a few or more days old. I have prepared enough for 3 days.
Looking at the man lying before them she wondered if anything would save him.

Rosanna, this is your area of expertise, your knowledge of herbs is far superior to mine, I hear what you are saying but we have no choice, I want you to give him a draft now we have no choice, its now or not at all

Aye Molly we can but try and pray to Jah
Rosanna was not sure if the draft would be strong enough as the herbs were usually soaked for a day and a night before they were used. She didn't want to worry the others any more than they were already.
She held the draft to Grundals mouth and pored some down his throat.
She whispered to Grundal
Grundal these will help a little but you will need to pull on all of your strength to help you through this.
Jah give Grundal the strength and the will to live.
She knew that everything depended on Grundal and that the next 2 days would be crucial.

Elensar returns to the kitchen.
She spoke to the staff there...
I have been asked to take charge of the kitchens. I am sorry that this isn't under better circumstances and that I won't have time to introduce myself properly but we must get to work straight away.
She points at the two women nearest to her. You two, I need you to set about making a broth to feed the wounded as they awaken...I'm sure they will not be wanting to eat anything too heavy. Lamb will be fine, pearl barley and plenty of vegetables...they will be needing their strength.
The women hurry over to a large saucepan and begin.
The rest of you, we need to prepare food for the rest of the family. I see there are some rabbits so I'll see to those. I'm sure the rest of you all ready know what you are doing for now.
Elensar busied herself preparing the rabbits for a pie hoping that it would keep her mind off of her brother's injuries.

The Manor was quiet once more as Oda lay in his bed, it had felt like he had been asleep for an eternity. He was unsure if it was late afternoon or early morning. He still felt groggy from the herbs he had been given. I sure hope Grundal is ok. Oda made to get up, forgetting about the injury on his his hand. As he put his hand on the bed and applied pressure to get up, a wave of pain struck over his hand again.
The shout Oda gave caused a maid to knock on the door.
"Are you ok Sir? Do you need anything?" The maid shouted through.
"Please come in." Oda said back to the maid. As she entered, he spoke again. "Would you be so kind as to ask my sister to come see me if she is awake please? I would like to speak with her." The maid left at once.

Now, back in her room, Richgrams reflects upon her situation.
She always thought of herself as a "take charge" kind of person.
Her years of experience had inspired much confidence in herself,
but today had taught her a new lesson in life, one which wasn't
easy to accept. She has been replaced by much younger, and almost as capable women.
In Molly, she sees herself years ago. Molly immediately sizes up a situation, acts upon it,
and quickly assigns people to do what is needed, while still in the thick of things up to her elbows.
What a perfect choice for Mayor. The people of Penrith have chosen wisely.
Rosanna, posessor of a fiery spirit, but with a compassionate heart,
has set her mind to learning potions and poultices to care for the sick
and wounded. How admirable, and what a wonderful addition to
Morgan Manor. Yes, Richgrams thinks to herself, we will get along well.
Elensar, the newest retainer at the Manor, has the gentle hands and compassion of an angel.
How carefully, and confidently, she stepped
right in to tend to Oda's leg wound. Her hands are much steadier than mine are now, thought Richgrams.
Enough lamenting over growing old. Am I not still the Lady of the Manor?
I am, and as such, I will find my new place in things.
Her thoughts now return to Grundal and Oda. She has prayed as hard as she knows how,
that they recover from their wounds.
Perhaps there will be encouraging news at supper tonight.
I wonder what Elensar will have her staff prepare.

Once the wounded had been tended to Rosanna felt a wearyness come down upon her. How much easier it would have been if the plants she needed had been on hand. Her head too filled with plans she was unable to settle. She saw Grams go into her room. She knocked on the door and Grams bade her enter.
I be very sorry to disturb you MiLady but I been thinking about the garden.
Grams looked somewhat surprised and Rosanna realised that Grams thought she was talking about the flowers.
Would it be possible? I mean would you allow me to? Oh MiLady is there somewhere I could raise my plants and herbs here at the Manor? I would like to make drafts and poltices so they are ready to be used. You look to me like you have a pain in your head. If I had what I needed I could prepare a soothing balm for you.
Rosanna went on and on then realising she had said too much fell silent. Perhaps this was not the time for this.
I'm sorry MiLady I should not have disturbed you.

A maid entered the kitchen, "Master Oda wishes to see you in his room M'lady"
Elensar looks bemused...I've never been called 'M'lady' in my life! I'm not sure what it would be proper and fitting to call me but miss would be fine.
The maid smiles and nods..."This way Miss."
Elensar follows her to her brother's room. Thank you, you may leave.
The maid scurries off and Elensar gently taps on the door. Oda calls her in and she enters, closing the door behind her. She smiled at Oda.
How are you feeling brother? You sent for me?

It's quite all right, Rosanna. I could use a little company to lift my mood.
I like your idea of the herb garden very much.
Over the years, I have learned a few tricks myself, so I would very much like
to work in the garden with you. A kind of sharing of talents, so to speak?
If no one is looking, I may even take my shoes off - lol.
You are a dear and I'm sure we will be friends soon enough.

Oh Grams you don't know how much it means to me. I would so love to be considered a friend. But now you look tired. I know this night has taken it's toll on you. I shall prepare you a herbal tea that will help you get some rest.
Rosanna went to the kitchen and made the tea. On her way back she collected a book from the library.
Grams drank the tea.
M'lady lie down on the bed and I shall read to you.
Rosanna helped Grams to the bed and sat beside it and read. It didn't take long for grams to drift into a peaceful sleep. Rosanna gently pulled the covers up. It was good to see the lines of worry disappear from the face of her employer/ friend. On impulse she bent down and gave her a kiss on the cheek. A feelng of love welled within her. She had missed having grown up without a mother.
Quietly she left the room closing the door behind her.

"Ele, my dear sister! Do not be worried for me to call you here! I simply wish to make sure you are OK. I saw you were upset in the kitchen before, I will be OK, it is Grundal I worry about. Please tell me, have you seen him? Is he OK?" Oda winced as pain struck through his hand again.
"I know you will be fine here Ele, you may get treated a little different from what you are used to, but let me assure you the Morgans are great people. Us Marius's are close to the Morgans and nothing will ever change that." Oda smiled and awaited a reply from his Sister.

Elensar follows her to her brother's room. Thank you, you may leave.
The maid scurries off and Elensar gently taps on the door. Oda calls her in and she enters, closing the door behind her. She smiled at Oda.
How are you feeling brother? You sent for me?

It's quite all right, Rosanna. I could use a little company to lift my mood.
I like your idea of the herb garden very much.
Over the years, I have learned a few tricks myself, so I would very much like
to work in the garden with you. A kind of sharing of talents, so to speak?
If no one is looking, I may even take my shoes off - lol.
You are a dear and I'm sure we will be friends soon enough.

Oh Grams you don't know how much it means to me. I would so love to be considered a friend. But now you look tired. I know this night has taken it's toll on you. I shall prepare you a herbal tea that will help you get some rest.
Rosanna went to the kitchen and made the tea. On her way back she collected a book from the library.
Grams drank the tea.
M'lady lie down on the bed and I shall read to you.
Rosanna helped Grams to the bed and sat beside it and read. It didn't take long for grams to drift into a peaceful sleep. Rosanna gently pulled the covers up. It was good to see the lines of worry disappear from the face of her employer/ friend. On impulse she bent down and gave her a kiss on the cheek. A feelng of love welled within her. She had missed having grown up without a mother.
Quietly she left the room closing the door behind her.

"Ele, my dear sister! Do not be worried for me to call you here! I simply wish to make sure you are OK. I saw you were upset in the kitchen before, I will be OK, it is Grundal I worry about. Please tell me, have you seen him? Is he OK?" Oda winced as pain struck through his hand again.
"I know you will be fine here Ele, you may get treated a little different from what you are used to, but let me assure you the Morgans are great people. Us Marius's are close to the Morgans and nothing will ever change that." Oda smiled and awaited a reply from his Sister.

Mini knocks on Oda's door, checking to see if it is all right to go in. Noticing Elensar, she smiles.
"Glad to see you are checking on Oda. How is he doing?" Mini asks, checking Oda's hand to see how it was doing.
"If you're feeling better, Oda, everyone would love for you to come down stairs and socialize for awhile." Mini grinned, knowing that there was a surprise party awaiting him.

Oda smiles when he sees Mini enter.
"I would love to come downstairs, I cant stand being in bed all this time. Ive been in worse shape." Oda notices Ele look uneasy at the sound of that.
"My leg is fine, I will just have to watch my hand." Just as he was about get up, Oda realised he wasnt waring much. "'Scuse me Ladies but could you step out for a moment whilst I change, wouldnt be proper if I change infront of you."
A few moments later, Oda emerged to join the two ladies.

Finally the bleeding had subsided as she had stitched Grundals wounds, it was now down to a slow minor trickle as the draft took it effect, thickening the blood. She carefully bandaged the wounds, but seeing Grundals pale clammy skin, she knew the biggest enemy now was shock. She looked at some guards.
Come her men, carefully take Grundal to his room, make sure the fire is lit and stay with him until I get there.
She watched as Grundal was carried from the kitchen, she went to a basin put in warm water and scrubbed the blood from herself, her clothes were a mess, but she knew they could be replaced and would be.
Thinking to herself. She was so proud of Rosanna and Elensar, they had acted well under pressure, they will do well her. Xander was magnificent his quick actions outside had probably saved Grundals life. It was good to have him here
She left the kitchen to change and sit with Grundal, she would not sleep until she knew he was out of danger

After Rosanna left Grams she went looking for Molly. She spied her going into the room where the men had taken Grundal.
Molly. You did so well. I am so proud of the way you worked so hard. I do believe that Grundals color is a little better. But sister you too need some rest. Can I get the maids to prepare a bed in here for you to sleep on. Should I make you a mild draft that will help you to sleep but light enough for you to awaken if Grundal needs you?

Thank you Rosanna, I will not leave Cousin Grundals side until he is out of danger. Please a bed here will be fine.
Some tea would be nice if its not to much trouble, then you should get to the Party for Oda, but call back afterwards if you wish, we never have caught up since you arrived.
Remember that it seems like years now not weeks, I did warn you Morgan Manor is a busy place and to expect the unexpected.
Now go, Give Oda a hug and kiss for me!
Molly sat in a chair by the fire and relaxed as best she could

Rosanna instructed the maid to make a bed up in the room for Molly then prepared the tea for her. She gave it to another maid to take up. She was weary, it had been a big day and night for her.
Feeling tired she went to her room and instructed a maid to wake her after an hour had passed. She would happily have slept all night but going to Odas party would be her opportunity for her to get to know everyone better.
As she drifted off all the days events went spinning through her mind. Yes Molly is right. The manor is a busy place.

Molly quietly sipped her tea, only moving to stoke the fire and to check on Grundal.
He was still very pale from blood loss, but he had stopped bleeding, though Molly left the bandages as they were so as not to start any bleeding again.
Grundal was now sleeping, though his breathing was shallow, at least he was comfortable.
Molly lay on the bed that had been set up for her, only dozing, but resting all the same, she would sleep properly later when Grundal was out of danger

Elensar knocked gently on the door and entered.
Lady Molly, I have brought you some broth fresh from the kitchens. I'm sure you are in need of something to eat. Please let me know when Grundal awakens and is able to eat something, he will need nourishment to heal.
Elensar curtseys and leaves the room, heading for her own bed.

Grundal lay in the bed his mind still replaying the battle with cutter and his men as his body fought to hold on to the strings of life that had nearly been cut from him.Time after time the scenes of the battle played thru his mind first five men then four then ... Oda came in and took two off some place . Grundal hoped his cousin faired well. Then he took a chance to take one man out leaving that wicked axe an open shot to his back.Then horse hooves beating , a scream and the sharp pain stabbing between his ribs.
Then as if from a dream these words drifted gently into his ear
Grundal these will help a little but you will need to pull on all of your strength to help you through this.
Jah give Grundal the strength and the will to live.
The voice he recognized but could put no face to it as he tried to respond but felt no strength to do more then exhale silently
Next thing grundal was aware of was molly's voice something about "Thank you Rosanna, I will not leave Cousin Grundals side until he is out of danger. Please a bed here will be fine "
He wanted to speak but strength flowed away from his lips once more as the battle replayed again and again in his mind. Heat began to build in his body and sweat poured from him soaking the sheets. None could see that a small bit of axe blade remained firmly placed between a crack in a rib.
As the fever began to take hold onto grundal the facts of the battle took on there own life grundal walked thru the grounds of the manor, seeing Oda fighting a man then taking a mighty blow to his back and sides he falls. Grundal yells in his mind and out to the world as well ODA !!! then the battle starts over and grundal falls quite once more

After staying at the party a short while Rosanna decided to go and check on Molly and Grundal. Molly was dozing. She approached the bed and saw Grundal was tossing and turning, she could see that a fever had started to rage.
Molly
Molly awoke immediately.
Grundal has a high fever. He shouldn't be like that. There must be something else that is troubling him. I will go and get a draft for his fever and another to make him sleep more soundly.
Jah please do something to help Grundal

When Rosanna went back to the kitchen she found the boy who had been in the garden asleep under the table.
Poor wee mite
She prepared the drafts For Molly to give to Grundal and took them to the room.
Rosanna returned to the kitcken and gently wakened the boy.
Come little one
She got Elen to make the boy something to eat then got him to wash. She instructed the housemaid to get a clean set of clothes for him. The boy was very thin and the clothes were way too large. No matter how hard Rosanna tried she could no more out of him than a sob. He was terrified.
Rosanna beckoned to the boy to follow and took him with her to find Grams.
Please Grams can you help here? I found this boy in the woods earlier in the night. I don't know who he is or where he is from.

Without saying a word, Richgrams scooped him up onto her lap and began rocking him gently. In time his shaking stopped and he fell asleep.
She lay him on the floor by the side of her bed nearest to the fire and covered him with a soft blanket.
She whispered, You rest now lad, plenty of time for us to get acquainted in the morning.
She then climbed into bed and fell asleep with a smile on her face, knowing that here was a soul who needed her.

Elensar concentrates on making the tartee for tonight's meal...pork and fruit pie, topped with whole chicken pieces.
She still feels unwell and sways slightly...the fever is still as bad as it was a few days ago. Not wishing to trouble anyone she continues with her work.
What do you think of that then Ernie?...the gosling gives a little chirp and wanders off outside.
Elensar goes to on of the kitchen hands...Can you prepare the figs for the Tourteletes in fryture please? I need to have a sit down.

*A knock came on the door of my smithy in Beeston*
I hollered for whoever it was to come in...A young lad not much younger than I when I was squired enter an handed me a letter with a seal I had never seen before. I broke the seal an read the letter quickly, handing the messenger a couple of pounds as I finished.
I took the next few days to sell my fields an boarded up my forge with a sale sign on it. After I sold everything I owned I started my long walk to a town called Penrith.
*walking ....walking.....walking*
After walking for what seemed like weeks I final seen the town I was seeking up around the bend. I quickened my pace with anticipation of a warm meal an a soft bed. I entered the town an asked "Where might I find Morgan Manor?" A large man who had eatten more than his fair share at meals pointed me in the right direction. I had walked about another mile or so in the direction the man pointed an seen a very well built manor.
I dusted myself off to look as presentable as possible an knocked on the door. The door swung open to a maid asking me to state my name an business. I answered "Amarth of Beeston at the request of Shriekermom an my business is with her."
She invited me in an asked me to wait in the foyer until the lady of the house could give me the attention needed.

When she awoke that morning, Richgrams saw that the lad still lay curled up, where she had left him the night before.
She pulled the cord to let it be known that she needed a servant sent to her room. She missed April, who always seemed to know the right time to be there.
Then she went to the door, forestalling a knock that may wake the lad.
A large smile crossed her face when she found it was Rosanna answering her bell. They exchanged whispers and Rosanna went off to bring up breakfast.
Once breakfast arrived, Richgrams knelt down beside the boy and gently placed her hand upon his shoulder.
He awoke with such a start, that Richgrams fell backwards, much to the surprise of both.
Richgrams immediately started to laugh, the kind of laughing that's contageous.
The boy let out a little giggle, then a larger one, and before long they were both convulsed with laughter.
Taking air in in gulps between the belly laughs, Richgrams managed to say:
Hello, I'm Richgrams, and who might you be?

Rosanna went down to get the breakfast for Grams and the boy. As she entered the foyer she saw a rather dashing man. She asked his business and he said he was awaiting Smom. She blushed wondering why just talking to this man had an effect on her. She scurried away to the kitchen and got the breakfast. Heart beating quickly she again went past the man in the foyer. She gave him a shy smile and went up to Grams's room.
She was surprised to see both the Lady of the house and the boy lying on the floor convulsed with laughter.

After finally arriving back home, Smom sat in her office reading her correspondence, this letter she had read a few times now and could not stop smiling.
Quote:
Dearest Smom,
I would invite you to do me the honor of being my guest at a Marius Family dinner at Casa de Marius on Saturday 5th of April 1455.
I do hope that you will be able to attend, I fully understand you are a extremely busy lady.
Your sevant,
Xander
As she finally is about to put it down a servant came in to inform her she has a gentleman caller awaiting her in the Foyer. "Did he give his name?" she asks
"Yes Ma'am he said his name is Amarth of Beeston" the servant answered.
"Please show him in here I have expected him." she smiled as now she finally would be able to move without having to worry too much.

The boy looked frightened again, and scooted over to the corner, curling up in a ball.
Now lad, I'd never hurt you. Let's have some breakfast together and you can tell me things when you're ready.
Richgrams thought him to be around 6 or 7, and had yet to hear him speak.
Even though Richgrams knew that he had been fed the night before, he ate ravenously and with no manners at all.
He kept his head lowered, peeking up at her, and she could see the dirt in his sandy blond hair. He spoke not a word. What to do next.........
Once again she summoned help from the staff. She asked that he be bathed and his hair washed, and then brought back to her room.
Hopefully this would give her time to devise a plan, while she washed and dresssed herself.

As a beautiful young woman came down the stairs an approached me. She asked my business an I told her I was seeking a audience with Smom. She then headed towards another doorway. My mind went racing at the sight of seeing her return, She gave me a smile that sent chills down my spine as she rushed passed back up the stairs she had come down. I thought to myself "How can such a beautiful lady do so much with just a simple smile?"
So I waited a few minutes more an the maid return an escorted me to the Office of Smom who sat behind her desk. I stepped the the desk an said "I have come to respond to the letter that I am needed here in Morgan Manor."

When Rosanna left Grams and the boy she saw the man going into Smoms office. She felt excited. Maybe he was going to work here at the Manor. Oh how she hoped it were possible as she really wanted to see him again.

As the man entered her office she stood up "Amarth I presume? Please have a seat." she gestured to a chair near her desk "I can't tell you how pleased I am to see you have accepted my offer. It will be a great relief to me when I move that the ladies who reside in this manor will be in good hands." she paused to compose her thoughts as she looked him over. Not a bad looking man and a pleasant enough look about him as not to frighted anyone to look at him, he indeed was a good choice.
"Amarth, you shall report directly to Richgrams here at the Manor but for matters of a truly military nature to General Oda Marius. He currently resides here but will be moving to the castle with me when it is renovated." she smiles at him hoping to relax him a bit "Do you have any questions for me?"

I have no questions at this time about my duties maam, Well maybe one question but nothing to do with my duties. I seen a beautiful lady run by me quickly earlier. "I would really like to know her name at least?"

Laughing as he asks his question"Amarth you have come to a house full of women, let me call Molly to gather them so hopefully your mystery woman is among them." she smiles at him as she can tell someone has really caught his attention so quickly "You will need to meet them all and they you anyway. Now is as good a time as any."
Pulling a sash behind her so a bell rings elsewhere for Molly she waits for her to arrive.
"Can I offer you a drink while we wait?"

He then smiles at Smom "Yes a drink would be great!"
He then looks down at his outfit an wonders if it would be better to go change first. Then decides not to worry about it.

Walking over to the cabinet she keeps the drinks in "What is your preferred Poison?"she is so happy she wrote him with the job offer, she really feels at ease with him, something important to her with those she has working near her as she likes a comfortable casual atmosphere in her home. She hopes the others take to him as easily.
As Molly enters the room "Molly dear, can you gather the women? I would like you to meet Amarth he is the new Captain of the Guard here at Morgan Manor for the Order of the Dragon." turning to Amarth. "Captain Amarth this is Molly Rose, my best friend, confidant, Steward of Household and now Mayor of Penrith."

After being called by Molly Rosanna made her way down. On her way she met Elen. Rosanna told Elen about the handsome man she had seen in the hall and they were giggling as they entered the room.
Rosanna stopped in her tracks and turned a deep red as she saw the man before her once again.
What Is it about this man that makes me react so? she thought.
Elen just grinned and nudged Rosanna in the ribs.

When she awoke that morning, Richgrams saw that the lad still lay curled up, where she had left him the night before.
She pulled the cord to let it be known that she needed a servant sent to her room. She missed April, who always seemed to know the right time to be there.
Then she went to the door, forestalling a knock that may wake the lad.
A large smile crossed her face when she found it was Rosanna answering her bell. They exchanged whispers and Rosanna went off to bring up breakfast.
Once breakfast arrived, Richgrams knelt down beside the boy and gently placed her hand upon his shoulder.
He awoke with such a start, that Richgrams fell backwards, much to the surprise of both.
Richgrams immediately started to laugh, the kind of laughing that's contageous.
The boy let out a little giggle, then a larger one, and before long they were both convulsed with laughter.

Before long, there was a knock on Richgram's door.
She opened it to find the lad all cleaned and polished.
She offered her hand, and he took it, though still not making eye contact.
She led him over to the bench at the end of her bed, where they could sit side by side.
I want to help you to get home to your Mum. She must be frantic with worry over you.
I need to know your name and where you are from, and what brings you here?
I be Andrew, he said, an me Mum be dead. Me Da hid me in the woods and went off with Cutter.
I waited like he said, but he nere came back.
With that, he looked up at Richgrams, tears brimming in his bright blue eyes.
Such a brave lad you are, Andrew. Will you go to town with me?
We can ask around - see if anyone has been looking for you there.
He nodded and they left together.

For what seemed to be days grundal replayed the battle in his mind unsure what Cutters involvement was in all of this. Was it for revenge on his brother ? Or was he working for the men that had wrought so much havoc in grundals life. Blow by blow grundal remembered the battle that occurred out side as his body did battle against the fervor that had over taken him. Finley grundal saw what he was looking for a mark on Cutters hand as he returned a back slashing attack against him could be seen. it was a tattoo small but visible placed in the crook between finger and thumb of his right hand . It was of a falcon in flight. Shortly after hes dream ended the fever broke and grundal slept peacefully once more.

Elensar whispers to Rosanna, I was wondering if you could make me a potion...I've not been feeling well for a few days now., she coughs which hurts her head...she smiles at Rosanna, I'm sure it's nothing serious.
Elensar looks at the handsome man Rosanna had talked about then glances at Rosanna and catches her blushing, she smiles to herself.
Can I fetch you something to eat Sir? There are pies fresh from the oven and I have Evangeline making pancakes as we speak., she smiled at the man...I shall prepare a selection and have it brought here straight away, I'm sure that Rosanna will be happy to keep you company until then Sir.
Elensar turned to leave, winking at Rosanna as she left the room and wandered to the kitchens where the warmth and delicious smells cheered her.

Once again Rosanne feels the heat rushing to her face.
I sorry sir Ele needs me to mix her a draft. Please excuse me.
Rosanna flies off to the kitchen.
Ele, why did you do that?
She mixed a draft hoping that is would be a bit more bitter than usual and handed it to her cousin.

Elensar drinks the draft down in one. Very good, she turns her back and makes a face.
Rosanna, I think you should keep the guest entertained, I have much work to be getting on with in the kitchens.
She smiles sweetly at Rosanna and continues preparing the tray of food.

Rosanna glares at her cousin. She makes another draft for Grundal and takes it to him.
She is pleased to see his fever has broken and gently wakes him enough to give him his medicine.
There ye go. Sleep is the best thing for ye at thhe moment. This will help ye sleep for a few more hours.
She pulls the covers around him and leaves the room.
Glancing back to the room the man was in she scuttles back to the kitchen.

She sets down the tray and gives a small curtsey. She stands, feeling awkward at not knowing whether she should stay or leave.

Observing the comings and goings of the Marius cousins from her office as she shares a drink with Amarth "Well if they haven't scared you off by now I know you are the right man for the job. Please do sit and enjoy your meal. If you would excuse me, I have two little ones to go see." as she almost walks out the door she suddenly turns back "Welcome to Morgan Manor"

*The lady he had so quickly fallen for said something he did not catch an she left just as quickly to his heart ache*
*Ele than returned with a plate of pie an other morsels of food which she preoffered to me which I gladly had accepted*
"Please do stay Ele as I wish to get to know all of you ladies"

Before she walks away to go to the Nursery she addresses Elen "Elle I do hope you will keep Amarth company during his meal and his glass full with any drink I have. If you could then show him around or have Rosanna do so I would be grateful. I have missed the Twins while away and dearly want to see them now. I shall see you both later." and she finally headed of to her little ones.
As she entered the Nursery she saw both of her children crawling around and pulling themselves up on the furniture as the nanny she had seemed a nervous wreck, as nice as the woman was she needed someone who could keep up with active little ones. "Hello my loves...mommy is home." kissing them both in turn "Would you like to go out a bit today?" knowing they could not answer her yet, she turned to the nanny "If you get them ready to go out I shall be back in a few minutes and relieve you as I take them for a walk out side."

Elensar smiles warmly as the guest tucks in to the food she provided, It's a pleasure to meet you Sir...I think we may have previously crossed paths in the tavern.
She fills his glass for him and sits in a nearby chair.
My cousin, Rosanna, has gone to prepare a draft for Grundel and check on him. He was injured quite badly recently. She is very adept with herbs and medicines.
Elensar noticed that the gentleman seemed very interested to hear more about her cousin.
She is very caring and although we only met recently I consider her a good friend.
Elensar noticed that most of the food was now gone.
Would you like anything else to eat Sir? There are some sweet pasties and cakes in the kitchen. Or, if you prefer, I can give you a tour of the Manor.
She smiles and looks down as she feels a nudge on her leg...Oh, this is Ernie. I found him while on my way to the Manor. she said as she scooped up the gosling and fed him some grain from her apron pocket.

After relaxing for a moment in her room, Smom changes into a comfortable dress for going on a picnic and walk. Spring was here the snow was gone and she and the twins needed some fresh air. With a smile on her face as she is looking forward to some sunshine, she heads to the Nursery next door.
Entering the Nursery she asks the nanny"Are my children ready to go out?"she looks and can tell they are.
"Yes Ma'am they are ready and I have packed some nappies for you to take with you. Are you sure you won't be needing me?" the nanny asked but suddenly felt she shouldn't have when Smom turned and looked at her with furrowed brow.
"I am plenty capable of caring for my children myself. You were not with me for the first 3 and they survived...." as soon as she said it she was struck with the memory that though she raised three to full grown one of them was no longer among them. She paused to remember her beloved Siterath but, she also remembered life must go on. "We shall be leaving now." wanting no more small talk but to go enjoy the day with the twins she puts the bag over her shoulder and picks up the children one on each hip. After going down the hall and down the stairs as she reaches the front door she pauses to readjust the twins, they are getting a bit big, she thinks. Won't be able to carry them both with ease soon.
She opens the door and the sun is shining. She sees the wagon she had asked brought to the front to put the twin in and gets Gilly in without any problems "Ouch, Young man.." she prys Rohnan's fingers from her hair "Don't pull on Mommy's hair." as she puts him down she hears him say "Mmmumm" and in the shock starts to fall backward.

Before long, there was a knock on Richgram's door.
She opened it to find the lad all cleaned and polished.
She offered her hand, and he took it, though still not making eye contact.
She led him over to the bench at the end of her bed, where they could sit side by side.
I want to help you to get home to your Mum. She must be frantic with worry over you.
I need to know your name and where you are from, and what brings you here?
I be Andrew, he said, an me Mum be dead. Me Da hid me in the woods and went off with Cutter.
I waited like he said, but he nere came back.
With that, he looked up at Richgrams, tears brimming in his bright blue eyes.
Such a brave lad you are, Andrew. Will you go to town with me?
We can ask around - see if anyone has been looking for you there.
He nodded and they left together.

For what seemed to be days grundal replayed the battle in his mind unsure what Cutters involvement was in all of this. Was it for revenge on his brother ? Or was he working for the men that had wrought so much havoc in grundals life. Blow by blow grundal remembered the battle that occurred out side as his body did battle against the fervor that had over taken him. Finley grundal saw what he was looking for a mark on Cutters hand as he returned a back slashing attack against him could be seen. it was a tattoo small but visible placed in the crook between finger and thumb of his right hand . It was of a falcon in flight. Shortly after hes dream ended the fever broke and grundal slept peacefully once more.

Elensar whispers to Rosanna, I was wondering if you could make me a potion...I've not been feeling well for a few days now., she coughs which hurts her head...she smiles at Rosanna, I'm sure it's nothing serious.
Elensar looks at the handsome man Rosanna had talked about then glances at Rosanna and catches her blushing, she smiles to herself.
Can I fetch you something to eat Sir? There are pies fresh from the oven and I have Evangeline making pancakes as we speak., she smiled at the man...I shall prepare a selection and have it brought here straight away, I'm sure that Rosanna will be happy to keep you company until then Sir.
Elensar turned to leave, winking at Rosanna as she left the room and wandered to the kitchens where the warmth and delicious smells cheered her.

Once again Rosanne feels the heat rushing to her face.
I sorry sir Ele needs me to mix her a draft. Please excuse me.
Rosanna flies off to the kitchen.
Ele, why did you do that?
She mixed a draft hoping that is would be a bit more bitter than usual and handed it to her cousin.

Thank you cousin
Elensar drinks the draft down in one. Very good, she turns her back and makes a face.
Rosanna, I think you should keep the guest entertained, I have much work to be getting on with in the kitchens.
She smiles sweetly at Rosanna and continues preparing the tray of food.

Rosanna glares at her cousin. She makes another draft for Grundal and takes it to him.
She is pleased to see his fever has broken and gently wakes him enough to give him his medicine.
There ye go. Sleep is the best thing for ye at thhe moment. This will help ye sleep for a few more hours.
She pulls the covers around him and leaves the room.
Glancing back to the room the man was in she scuttles back to the kitchen.

Elensar returns to the guest with a tray of food, Please help yourself Sir.
She sets down the tray and gives a small curtsey. She stands, feeling awkward at not knowing whether she should stay or leave.

Observing the comings and goings of the Marius cousins from her office as she shares a drink with Amarth "Well if they haven't scared you off by now I know you are the right man for the job. Please do sit and enjoy your meal. If you would excuse me, I have two little ones to go see." as she almost walks out the door she suddenly turns back "Welcome to Morgan Manor"

Before she walks away to go to the Nursery she addresses Elen "Elle I do hope you will keep Amarth company during his meal and his glass full with any drink I have. If you could then show him around or have Rosanna do so I would be grateful. I have missed the Twins while away and dearly want to see them now. I shall see you both later." and she finally headed of to her little ones.
As she entered the Nursery she saw both of her children crawling around and pulling themselves up on the furniture as the nanny she had seemed a nervous wreck, as nice as the woman was she needed someone who could keep up with active little ones. "Hello my loves...mommy is home." kissing them both in turn "Would you like to go out a bit today?" knowing they could not answer her yet, she turned to the nanny "If you get them ready to go out I shall be back in a few minutes and relieve you as I take them for a walk out side."

Xander walked around the corner of the Manor, saw the Wagon and Smom putting the children in it, he quicked his pace so as to bid "Good day" to her.
Just as he reached her he heard her muffled yelp, saw her start to stumble, instinctively he reached out and grabbed Smom by the waist so she did not fall.
Smom! are you alright, you look all taken aback, I trust nothing is wrong!

As she falls aback upon hearing, no she must be imagining it or did she...
"Mum-mum"she sees him as he says it again his arms out to her as she suddenly realizes she didn't fall down someones arms are around her waist. Smom! are you alright, you look all taken aback, I trust nothing is wrong! she is asked by who she now realizes is Xander and starts laughing.
"Yes, yes, I think I am fine. I might be hearing things but I am fine. Did you hear him?" she points to her son and looks at Xander who still has a firm grip on her, his hands felt so natural she for a moment forgot how inappropriate it was for him to still be doing so and pulled away. "Oh I don't think you have ever met. These are my two youngest Gillianna and Rohnan. They are now 9 months old and I could swear my son just spoke and called me Mum. Did he?"

As Smom pulled away Xander stepped back flushing with embarrassment.
Forgive me I did not mean to be so forward.
Good Day Smom, what fine children Gillianna and Rohan are. I am certain that Rohnan said mum to you.
I hope I am not being too presumptuous, but its a wonderful day if I asked if you would take me to Kirkoswald on your trip?

Seeing Xander blush as he spoke she could not help but smile. "Sir it is your lucky day. I was going to go around to the stables and take a carriage to the Castle grounds. Once there I was hoping to pull the twins in their wagon down to the lake shore for a picnic. I would love to show you Kirkoswald if you cared to join us." she paused for a moment then added "If you don't mind children that is. Not many men would want to spend a afternoon with two little ones, feel free to say No I won't be offended if you do not care to join us." she stood there almost feeling like a schoolgirl hoping he would say yes but, keeping the composed look of a woman and mother upon her face as she awaited his answer.

Smiling broardly, as he relaxed again.
I would be honored and delighted to accompany the children and yourself on a picnic,as for children family is of utmost importance to we Marius's, there is nothing more precious to a family than its children. I hope I do not bore you talking about my ideas for your castle

"Bore me? I just wish I hadn't been called away the night we met or I would have sat there listening to you for hours more. It fascinates me." she smiles a sincere smile "I should have known you wouldn't mind children after knowing your family. Children and animals seem to be a weakness of the family hearts, one wonders if you like adults as well for I can't remember hearing of a married Marius in your generation." she suddenly bites her tongue as she spoke her mind as she is used to doing around Molly and Grundal but , Xander wasn't them, what must he think. She dips her head embarrassed to see his expression.
Deciding it best to quickly change the subject "Shall we walk to the stables now?"

Xander picked up the Hamper and blankets, he walked along side Smom as she pulled the wagon to the Stables

Arriving at the stables, Xander helped her load the wagon after she had put the twins in the carriage. After the Picnic hamper and blankets were placed inside, he helped her inside and joined them telling the driver to head to the Castle.
"Xander I was looking forward to a day with my children but I am really happy you are joining us. It will be nice having an Adult to converse with." glancing at Rohnan as she hears Gilly whimper "Rohnan Kieran Casey stop now. You down pull hair." she swats his little hand after she un-twines Gilly's hair from his fingers.
"Sorry Xander, he is in a hair pulling stage.....and I guess I should warn you now. Gilly has a nasty little habit as well, she bites." sighing as she shakes her head, she then looks at him and semi smiles "Good news though she is still getting teeth so it isn't too bad."sighing again "You should have seen my others, well Illynya and Asteria still wrestle like animals and they are grown ladies now. I guess I am a bad mother." she can't help but laugh at herself as she looks at him and the unique expression he makes when she mentions the girls.

Watching from the window Molly saw Smom and Xander together, it brought a smile to her face. So those letters were from Xander all along, he was the mystery man, she recalled the smiles on Smoms face when she read the letters . The sounds of Grundal stirring snapped her out of her thoughts.
Molly went to Grundal, checking his bandages, she was pleased to see there was no more seepage. At last the bleeding was stopped, Rosanna's potions had worked. She could see the color returning to Grundals face a good sign, though he would be laid up for some time.
Well Grundal, you certainly scared us all this time, but you will live to fight another day. Now you rest, get well, I sense great things are just around the corner. Now I will get Elensar to make you some broth
For the first time in days Molly was confident enough to leave the room and not have someone there to watch over Grundal, she made her way to the kitchen.

*smirks slightly at the thought of Rosanna running all over helping people with this an that*
*I than sit an think to myself* "Well maybe one day we can get to know each other better on a personal level but that will have to wait I have a job to do here"*

Rosanna waited till Ele had finished giving the man the tour and he had left the house then she ran to her cousin.
Ele tell me who he is and why he is here
She could see the wicked gleam in Ele's eyes and her teasing smile.

She smiles warmly at her cousin.
He will be working for Smom, I imagine this means he will be spending time here at the Manor. He is very nice, you shouldn't have ran off like you did...I'm sure he won't bite
She saw her cousin blush and felt bad, she did not mean to tease her but was bemused by the strange way in which she acted around this man having never felt the same way about anyone herself.
He liked the food I made very much as well., she grinned. She was proud of the food she made and had brought many new recipes to the Manor.
That reminds me Rosanna, I hear you would like to plant a herb garden to grow herbs for drafts and the like. Would it be possible to have a little patch for cooking herbs?

Aye Ele I ha seen the perfect spot for growing my plants. Sure many of the herbs you use in cooking are also used in my drafts. Maybe we could work in the garden together.
Rosanna saw the look on Ele's face and realised that gardening was not one of her hobbies.
Oh the little lady does not want to get her hands dirty Rosanna gave Ele a teasing poke and they both laughed.
See cousin tis two of us that can tease. Did ye find out the name of the stranger?

As Richgrams and Andrew return from town, she chooses the kitchen entrance, hoping to find Rosanna more quickly that way.
Richgrams sees her, seemingly deep in thought, sitting by the fire, watching the dancing of the flames.
Rosanna.
The poor girl jumps at the sound of her name.
I have had a tiring day and wish you would help me. I would like you to ask Molly to have a cot set up in the room next to mine,
for Andrew here, and I would ask you once again to claim the bed there as your own.
See that Molly also has a privacy screen put up for you.
Sol is making Andrew some clothes that will fit - should be ready within a few days. Til then, do the best you can for him.
Then turning to Andrew, Richgrams gives him a big hug, saying:
You have been a very good boy today, Andrew. Let's have Elen prepare us a special treat to have while we talk

Smiling broardly, as he relaxed again.
I would be honored and delighted to accompany the children and yourself on a picnic,as for children family is of utmost importance to we Marius's, there is nothing more precious to a family than its children. I hope I do not bore you talking about my ideas for your castle

"Bore me? I just wish I hadn't been called away the night we met or I would have sat there listening to you for hours more. It fascinates me." she smiles a sincere smile "I should have known you wouldn't mind children after knowing your family. Children and animals seem to be a weakness of the family hearts, one wonders if you like adults as well for I can't remember hearing of a married Marius in your generation." she suddenly bites her tongue as she spoke her mind as she is used to doing around Molly and Grundal but , Xander wasn't them, what must he think. She dips her head embarrassed to see his expression.
Deciding it best to quickly change the subject "Shall we walk to the stables now?"

Arriving at the stables, Xander helped her load the wagon after she had put the twins in the carriage. After the Picnic hamper and blankets were placed inside, he helped her inside and joined them telling the driver to head to the Castle.
"Xander I was looking forward to a day with my children but I am really happy you are joining us. It will be nice having an Adult to converse with." glancing at Rohnan as she hears Gilly whimper "Rohnan Kieran Casey stop now. You down pull hair." she swats his little hand after she un-twines Gilly's hair from his fingers.
"Sorry Xander, he is in a hair pulling stage.....and I guess I should warn you now. Gilly has a nasty little habit as well, she bites." sighing as she shakes her head, she then looks at him and semi smiles "Good news though she is still getting teeth so it isn't too bad."sighing again "You should have seen my others, well Illynya and Asteria still wrestle like animals and they are grown ladies now. I guess I am a bad mother." she can't help but laugh at herself as she looks at him and the unique expression he makes when she mentions the girls.

Watching from the window Molly saw Smom and Xander together, it brought a smile to her face. So those letters were from Xander all along, he was the mystery man, she recalled the smiles on Smoms face when she read the letters . The sounds of Grundal stirring snapped her out of her thoughts.
Molly went to Grundal, checking his bandages, she was pleased to see there was no more seepage. At last the bleeding was stopped, Rosanna's potions had worked. She could see the color returning to Grundals face a good sign, though he would be laid up for some time.
Well Grundal, you certainly scared us all this time, but you will live to fight another day. Now you rest, get well, I sense great things are just around the corner. Now I will get Elensar to make you some broth
For the first time in days Molly was confident enough to leave the room and not have someone there to watch over Grundal, she made her way to the kitchen.

*smiles at Ele* "A tour would be great so I can become familiar with my new surroundings and figure out where I am to be doing most my work from!"
*smirks slightly at the thought of Rosanna running all over helping people with this an that*
*I than sit an think to myself* "Well maybe one day we can get to know each other better on a personal level but that will have to wait I have a job to do here"*

Elensar smiles, Of course Sir., she said.
She moved towards the door and turned to make sure the gentleman was following her, he was.
Perhaps we may bump into Rosanna on our way.,she said as she walked on, leading the man on the tour of the Manor.

Rosanna waited till Ele had finished giving the man the tour and he had left the house then she ran to her cousin.
Ele tell me who he is and why he is here
She could see the wicked gleam in Ele's eyes and her teasing smile.
Please Ele tease me not

She smiles warmly at her cousin.
He will be working for Smom, I imagine this means he will be spending time here at the Manor. He is very nice, you shouldn't have ran off like you did...I'm sure he won't bite
She saw her cousin blush and felt bad, she did not mean to tease her but was bemused by the strange way in which she acted around this man having never felt the same way about anyone herself.
He liked the food I made very much as well., she grinned. She was proud of the food she made and had brought many new recipes to the Manor.
That reminds me Rosanna, I hear you would like to plant a herb garden to grow herbs for drafts and the like. Would it be possible to have a little patch for cooking herbs?

Aye Ele I ha seen the perfect spot for growing my plants. Sure many of the herbs you use in cooking are also used in my drafts. Maybe we could work in the garden together.
Rosanna saw the look on Ele's face and realised that gardening was not one of her hobbies.
Oh the little lady does not want to get her hands dirty Rosanna gave Ele a teasing poke and they both laughed.
See cousin tis two of us that can tease. Did ye find out the name of the stranger?

As Richgrams and Andrew return from town, she chooses the kitchen entrance, hoping to find Rosanna more quickly that way.
Richgrams sees her, seemingly deep in thought, sitting by the fire, watching the dancing of the flames.
Rosanna.
The poor girl jumps at the sound of her name.
I have had a tiring day and wish you would help me. I would like you to ask Molly to have a cot set up in the room next to mine,
for Andrew here, and I would ask you once again to claim the bed there as your own.
See that Molly also has a privacy screen put up for you.
Sol is making Andrew some clothes that will fit - should be ready within a few days. Til then, do the best you can for him.
Then turning to Andrew, Richgrams gives him a big hug, saying:
You have been a very good boy today, Andrew. Let's have Elen prepare us a special treat to have while we talk

Rosanna startled when Richgrams called her name. She was delighted to at last be able to do something for her.
Twill be a pleasure Milady. I'm sure me and Andrew will be very comfortable next to you.
She smiled happily at Richgrams and ruffled the boys hair. He let out a squeal and Rosanna was pleased to see a smile on the wee boys face,
As she left to find Molly she thought about Richgrams and how she had the way to make everyone a part of the family. Aye Richgrams would be the one she could talk to about all the unfamiliar feelings that were rushing around in her heart.
Be patient Rosanna the time will come she thought.

Rosanna returns to the kitchen and finds Andrew almost asleep at the table. Richgrams smiles fondly at the wee boy and Rosanna takes him up to his bed. She stays with him as he falls asleep. She is upset to see the wee lad whimper as he tosses and turns in his sleep.
Don't worry sweetheart you have a home here with people that will love and care for you.
As Rosanna watched the wee lad sleep she thought about the recent events. So much had happened since she had arrived in this town.
First she had found her sister and a whole family. Then the fight where she was pleased she was able to help with her knowledge of medicinal herbs. Finding the wee boy in the woods. She felt for the lad for she knew how hard it would be for him ,as like her he would grow up not knowing his parents. Ah but at least he would have the love of a new family.
Her love for Scott who she had believed to be her cousin. She blushed as she realised how forward she had been with him. Going unchaperoned to his home and even resting her head against his knee. Now it appears they are not related and he has feelings for her that are not cousinly. What does that mean?
The confusion as to her reactions to the man she now knows to be called Amarth. Were these feelings of love or infatuation?
Rosanna lay on her bed wishing that Richgrams had not looked so tired she knew the old lady would be able to help her if she talked to her. She is so kind and knowledgeable.
Hopfully the two of them could get busy in the garden together. With that and helping with the boy maybe Rosanna could forget about these two men. That's the answer she thought smiling to herself just keep busy.
She closed her eyes to rest. But rest would not come as she could see Scotts face and remembered how troubled he had been lately. She knew she would not be at peace until things had been sorted one way or another.
She wished she could talk to Richgrams but knew the lady was tired from looking after the child all day.

Elensar gently knocked at the door and whispered, Rosanna? Are you there?
Not wishing to disturb her or wake her if she was sleeping she hastily scrawled a note and shoved it under the door...
Quote:
Dearest Rosanna,
I apologise for the teasing. I was all in jest and I meant to harm by it.
I have come to think of you as a friend as well as a cousin and I want to you know that I am here for you if you need me, as we all are.
If you need someone to talk to I am willing to listen and help where I can. If you'd rather not speak of these matters to me then I will still be here for you.
Your loving friend and cousin, Ele
Elensar quietly tip-toes away.

Instead of heading for the Tavern, my feet take me to the back door of the Manor..... I am still uncertain of how to proceed..... I stand at the kitchen door and stare at it awhile....
Finally not knowing what I am to be sayin', I turn and walk through the gardens till I reach the bench overlooking the lake. There I sit to try to get me thoughts straightened out..... The breeze be a little chilly but It is refreshing and calming.....
(Iz cannot knock without something to say..... But Iz may 'ave spoken to much at the family dinner..... Now where Iz stand iz what Iz got to figure out.....) I look around wishing Smokey or Jing was 'ere with me to keep me company....

Elensar returns from the woods, walking briskly with Ernie under her arm...she hums a tune and heads towards the lake...You could do with a little dip I expect eh little one., she smiles as her little pet chirps at her.
As she nears the lake she spots someone sat there...curious as to who it is she heads towards them...
Scott! Well, this is a surprise! she waves at her cousin and sets Ernie down as she gets closer...the little bird waddles off to the lake.
Funny, I have just returned from your house. I left you a small parcel., she hugs him warmly and smiles, How are you cousin?

Rosanna read the note that Elen slipped under her door and smiled. Her new found cousin and friend had been teasing her lately but it had been all in good fun. She knew she had not only a cousin but a very special friend in Ele.
Andrew had fallen into a deep sleep so she decided to take a walk to the lake. It was a good place to think. She called one of the maids and asked her to check in on the boy from time to time and headed out.
She spied Ele with her gosling under her arm. She was just about to call out when she saw Ele join Scott. Her heart began to race. Not ready to face Scott she turned back to the Manor. She really needed to find Richgrams.

I hear Elenar call my name and stand as she approaches... I recieve her hug as welcoming.... Good to see ya..... Iz just been sittin' tryin' to gather me thoughts.... Iz feel Iz made a mess of things when Iz spoke out at the family dinner....
I sit back down and motion for her beside me..... Iz don't know what Iz was thinkin' Iz just found meself in a spot.... She seems intent on listening, so I go back to the day before the Dinner....
Grams cornered me in the Cap'n and asked me about Rosanna and meself.... Iz told 'er we were close, and other questions she 'ad led me to tell 'er of me past.... Iz been raised most me life as a Marius and have nothin' but Honor and Thanks for Anders Marius that took mez mum and me in..... 'e even raised me as is own... Mez mum was Schwinn from birth... Iz don't even know me fathers name... She took it to 'er grave....
All Iz remember is bits from me time before... Iz believe there may still be a little wooden chapel in mez 'ome village that 'as mez father's name....
Sorry, Iz startin' to ramble..... I lower me head and stare at me feet abit.... Finally I continue.....
Grams told mez of the plans for Rosanna and Armath.... Iz ached.... Iz knew then, what Iz must do.... Iz just didn't think, if truth be told.... Iz just acted..... Now......... Iz don't know what to do..... Rosanna 'eld me confidence.... and Iz feel Iz betrayed that.... Misled 'er...
Alas Elenar.... Iz know not what to do.... Even me brother 'asn't talked to me since the dinner....
Iz not be Marius by blood, but ye be the family Iz got.... Now Iz betrayed ye all....
I hide me face in me hands..... Thanks for listenin'.... Iz just needed to get it out...... With that, I fall silent....

Elensar carefully listened to what Scott had to say...she frowned.
Scott...you have not betrayed anyone. You were true to yourself and your heart, what more could anyone ask?
She smiled and patted her cousin on the shoulder, Dont fret. I'm sure your brother has just been busy...and I'm sure everyone understands...and I'm sure Rosanna doesn't think she has been misled by you.
She absent mindedly fiddled with the hem of her clothes then had a quick glance at the pond to check on her pet.
And plans for Rosanna and Amarth? Why, they have only recently met!
She looks intently into Scott's eyes and spoke in a calm voice, I think you know what you have to do Scott., she pointed towards the Manor, She's in there...go to her.
Her little gosling swims to the edge of the lake and waddles over to her side, she reaches down and scoops him up, then tucks him under one arm.
Scott, I must be getting back...will you be sitting here a while? Or will you walk back to the Manor with me?
She turns and starts to walk back over the soft grass...Maybe he needs some time to himself, to think. she thought to herself...kicking a small stone as she headed back to the Manor.

Richgrams awoke refreshed.
She peeked in on Andrew and found him still sleeping soundly.
Good, that will give her time to wash, dress, and make her plans for the day.
She rings for her tea, and the girl who brings it informs her that
Rosanna has been looking for her.
Please find her and bring her to me.
As Richgrams waits, she gathers her thoughts.
The conversation between herself and Rosanna will be a very important one.
She must try hard not to impose her own opinions, but rather lead
Rosanna to find that which is in her own heart. It won't be easy.
Rosanna will be looking to be given the "right" answer, but it will be Richgrams
who will have to ask the right questions.
The years have taught her that when facing the questions, the answer will come.

Rosanna was tired from lack of sleep. She was delighted to be called to see Richgrams. She was hoping she would have the opportunity to talk to Richgrams about everything.
Ah but Milady probably just wants to speak to me about helping with Andrew she really has been preoccupied with him.
She sighed realising that the wee lads plight was worse than her situation and went to see Richgrams.

There's a knock on her door.
Do come in.
Richgrams smiles at the sight of Rosanna.
Rosanna! Come, join me. I was told that you wanted to speak to me, so
I requested extra tea, bread, and jam. Help yourself. You look tired. Did you have trouble sleeping?

Ah milady I have had no sleep. I cannot eat my stomach is all twisted inside.
Rosanna paced the room. She could not sit. She didn't know how to start.
Milady you know I know not of things such as love. I never knew the love of my parents as I was too young when they were taken from me. Milady, how do you know if you love someone? What is Love?
She looked at Richgrams expecting to hear the answer to her problem.

Richgrams thinks to herself that this won't be easy.
How to begin?
Rosanna, first tell me - what were you thinking when you ran from the family dinner?
What feelings did Scott's revelation bring out in you?
Were you horrified, or feeling uncomfortable because of other feelings that came rushing to the surface?

Nay MiLadyI were not horrified. I was surprised. I never knew. I thought Scott did think of me like a cousin and I thought that I felt like that about him also. But now I don't know. I know I love him but is it as a woman loves a man? Is it as a cousin loves a cousin? How do you know if it be the right love? MiLady I saw him with Ele. I just wanted to run to him and throw my arms around him. I do miss him.
It all got too much for Rosanna and she burst into tears.

Richgrams went over to Rosanna and, putting her arm around her shoulders, led her to a seat. Once Rosanna stopped crying, Richgrams continued.
Do you feel the same way towards your other cousins?
Who, if any, of your cousins do you find yourself thinking about when they aren't there?
Would you sit next to another cousin and not speak?
Could you sit next to Scott and not speak?
Answer these questions, Rosanna, and you will begin to find the truth.

Elensar carefully listened to what Scott had to say...she frowned.
Scott...you have not betrayed anyone. You were true to yourself and your heart, what more could anyone ask?
She smiled and patted her cousin on the shoulder, Dont fret. I'm sure your brother has just been busy...and I'm sure everyone understands...and I'm sure Rosanna doesn't think she has been misled by you.
She absent mindedly fiddled with the hem of her clothes then had a quick glance at the pond to check on her pet.
And plans for Rosanna and Amarth? Why, they have only recently met!
She looks intently into Scott's eyes and spoke in a calm voice, I think you know what you have to do Scott., she pointed towards the Manor, She's in there...go to her.
Her little gosling swims to the edge of the lake and waddles over to her side, she reaches down and scoops him up, then tucks him under one arm.
Scott, I must be getting back...will you be sitting here a while? Or will you walk back to the Manor with me?
She turns and starts to walk back over the soft grass...Maybe he needs some time to himself, to think. she thought to herself...kicking a small stone as she headed back to the Manor.

Richgrams awoke refreshed.
She peeked in on Andrew and found him still sleeping soundly.
Good, that will give her time to wash, dress, and make her plans for the day.
She rings for her tea, and the girl who brings it informs her that
Rosanna has been looking for her.
Please find her and bring her to me.
As Richgrams waits, she gathers her thoughts.
The conversation between herself and Rosanna will be a very important one.
She must try hard not to impose her own opinions, but rather lead
Rosanna to find that which is in her own heart. It won't be easy.
Rosanna will be looking to be given the "right" answer, but it will be Richgrams
who will have to ask the right questions.
The years have taught her that when facing the questions, the answer will come.

Rosanna was tired from lack of sleep. She was delighted to be called to see Richgrams. She was hoping she would have the opportunity to talk to Richgrams about everything.
Ah but Milady probably just wants to speak to me about helping with Andrew she really has been preoccupied with him.
She sighed realising that the wee lads plight was worse than her situation and went to see Richgrams.

There's a knock on her door.
Do come in.
Richgrams smiles at the sight of Rosanna.
Rosanna! Come, join me. I was told that you wanted to speak to me, so
I requested extra tea, bread, and jam. Help yourself. You look tired. Did you have trouble sleeping?

Ah milady I have had no sleep. I cannot eat my stomach is all twisted inside.
Rosanna paced the room. She could not sit. She didn't know how to start.
Milady you know I know not of things such as love. I never knew the love of my parents as I was too young when they were taken from me. Milady, how do you know if you love someone? What is Love?
She looked at Richgrams expecting to hear the answer to her problem.

Richgrams thinks to herself that this won't be easy.
How to begin?
Rosanna, first tell me - what were you thinking when you ran from the family dinner?
What feelings did Scott's revelation bring out in you?
Were you horrified, or feeling uncomfortable because of other feelings that came rushing to the surface?

Nay MiLadyI were not horrified. I was surprised. I never knew. I thought Scott did think of me like a cousin and I thought that I felt like that about him also. But now I don't know. I know I love him but is it as a woman loves a man? Is it as a cousin loves a cousin? How do you know if it be the right love? MiLady I saw him with Ele. I just wanted to run to him and throw my arms around him. I do miss him.
It all got too much for Rosanna and she burst into tears.

Richgrams went over to Rosanna and, putting her arm around her shoulders, led her to a seat. Once Rosanna stopped crying, Richgrams continued.
Do you feel the same way towards your other cousins?
Who, if any, of your cousins do you find yourself thinking about when they aren't there?
Would you sit next to another cousin and not speak?
Could you sit next to Scott and not speak?
Answer these questions, Rosanna, and you will begin to find the truth.

Rosanna thought.
I care about all my cousins. With Scott at times I have no need to speak. Just to be with him makes me happy. Yet if I need to speak I know that he is always willing to listen. Oh MiLady I can tell him things I have never before told anyone. He is so gentle and kind. Just to be near him makes me feel happy.

Are you seeing things any clearer?

Rosanna all of a sudden felt the stress leave her body. She hugged Richgrams.
Thank you Milady. I know I love Scott. I want to be with him. I'm not sure what he wants from me. Something to eat would be great. Then I think I must go and see Scott at the cottage.

Elensar enters the kitchen greeted by the pleasant aromas coming from the cooking food.
She sets Ernie down in the corner on to a small pile of rags she had placed there previously, There you go little one. she smiled at the gosling.
She busied herself making jam while Evangeline made pastry...she hummed to herself and thought back on her earlier conversation with Scott...I'm sure everything will work out., she thought to herself.
She potted up the jam and carefully labelled each pot. Then she took the jug of cool water, poured herself some then sat at the kitchen table to check through the orders for the kitchen and prepare the coming week's menu.

Elensar hears lots of banging coming from outside an assumes someone is hard at work.
She grabs the jug of water and picks up a plate of bread and cheese...she heads outside to see if the workers need refreshments.
She hums a tune to herself and walks around the corner towards all the noise.
Thought you might like some... she stops in her tracks...Well hello there Sir! I didn't expect to see you here.
She set down the plate on a near by log, I thought you might be in need of some refreshments, the bread is fresh and the water cool. If I would have known it was you Sir I would have brought some ale., she smiled.
Would you like some company while you take a break? she asked...suddenly feeling awkward...Or I expect you would prefer to just carry on with your work. she blurted out.
She glanced at the man and then stood looking at her feet.

Elensar looks relieved that she has not intruded and smiles, I'd be glad to join you., she sits down on the log and passes the plate of food over.
I have recently returned here. I was taken as a child. I do not remember how I got back here but I was fortunate enough to find my family again., she smiled and took a sip of her water.
I have two brothers., she went on,Oda and squire merks...they are both good men and have been very kind to me.
I met my cousin Rosanna recently. She is the one you saw when you first arrived. , she looks at the man seeing a hint of sadness in his eyes, Um...we get on well, she is like a sister to me., she smiles
I work here in the kitchens so if you ever need food or drink please come and see me., she smiled and gathered up the plate and cups.
Well, I must be off, lots of work to do in the kitchen. Goodbye.
She turned and walked back to the kitchen carefully balancing the cups.

Richgrams was at her desk writing letters.
Her windows and door were open to let in the fresh spring air.
She was aware of the birds chirping and the pounding of a hammer.
She was just about to go to the window and find the source of the
pounding, when Andrew came running into her room all excited.
Richgrams, I saw three baby owls! We fed them worms, and I went swimming!
We met a man who said I can come see the owls again!
Oh, these are for you.
Slow down Andrew, you're all out of breath. Oh what lovely flowers!
Thank you.
Just then one of the staff came to the door and announced that Solemn had arrived.
Please take Sol to the parlor and we will meet him there.

After a busy morning with the twins Smom is coming out of the Nursery when she sees her Mothers door open and decides to go say hello.
Poking her head in the doorway she sees her mother headed towards her "Hi Mum. Going somewhere? I was hoping to chat."

Smom, I don't think you've met Andrew here. We were just going to the parlor
to see the new clothes that Sol has made for him.
Please join us. We can have a good chat afterwards. I have so much to tell you.
I never got a chance to talk to you at the Marius family dinner.
Xander just whisked you away.

At the mention of Xanders name a smile crossed her lips "That he did." she sighed a bit remembering "Hello Andrew it is a pleasure to finally meet you, I have heard the staff whispering of a handsome new young man among us. Shall we go see my son Solumn?" she offers her hand to the young boy "You know between you and I Andrew, Solumn may appear mean but he is just a big softly at heart and I would know I am his Mum." she smiles reassuringly at him as they head to the parlor before tuning her head to address her Mum as they walk down the halls.
"Oh Mother I can't wait to tell you of my day yesterday. Did I tell you.... Rohnan spoke."

With that, they reached the parlor, and saw Sol waiting.
Welcome, Sol. So glad you came to visit. Have you been offered your drink of choice?

Solumn was going to say something but other things blocked his mind, finally he said politely to the servant. "Tea will be fine."
He then turned to Grams and Smom, there's no facial expression any sort and Solumn said in deep low voice, "I trust all of you have a pleasant time... now to the purpose of my visit."
Solumn went to open his trunk. It was rather small wooden trunk of good craft, from the look, it must have lasted at least a decade. Solumn looked over his shoulder and whispered to the kid in distance. "Come, little one, don't you want to see your new outfit?" As the kid was not to move any step further, Solumn took a couple of steps back along with something in his hand. Various color were visible to everyone's eyes and it was hard to make up how many clothes were actually in there.
Solumn smiled faintly as he took the tea from the servant, then he continued, "I made a couple of white shirts, black pants, and shoes as well. A black suit for special occasion." Solumn paused for a minute and fully examined Andrew for the first time. "Of course, a dozen more color of different clothes for the boy to choose from." He then waved at the kid. "They're all yours"
Solumn put the tea cup down and slowly walked to ward Grams. "Grandmother, I believe you will find this delightful"
A scarf hung over his lower arm.

Ele sits back down on her chair and the man sits opposite her.
My past... she looked past the man into the distance trying to search her thoughts...There is not really much to tell. I dont remember much you see.
She looks down and frowns...I write down my thoughts as I remember things...it's all a bit hazy still.
She became distant and lost in thought but the man continued to listen so she tried to carry on...
I remember my mother...not my real mother though. I was taken as a child. The woman could not have children of her own. She had a brother who worked in the church. He taught me to read and write.
She smiled, I remember the apple trees...there were lots....she suddenly looked at the man and explained, It was in the South you see...I was taken to the South...to Somerset...that's why I dont speak the same as everyone around here.
She paused to lean down and pick up Ernie who had been waddling round her ankles, she smiled at him and fed him a little grain from her apron.
And that all I remember really...I dont know how I got to Penrith and it was only by chance that Oda recognised me as his sister...and then I met squire_merks and then all the rest!
She ruffled the little bird's feathers and he made a little chirping sound.

Rosanna burst into the kitcken
Ele you won't believe...
Ele was sitting talking to Amarth. Once again she blushed. The blush was for interrupting what seemed to be an intimate discussion. She found that Amarth no longer made her react as she did when she first saw him.
Aye twas merely an attraction to a handsome man.
Good day to you Amarth. I be sorry to have interrupted your talk. Ele if you wouldn't mind when you have time I would like to talk to you. I shall be out in the garden I have some cooking herbs to plant for you.
Rosanna smiled as she left the two of them and made her way to the garden. She hummed as she carefully planted the herbs. Her thoughts were of Scott. When she had finished she looked around the garden.
Tis in need of some tender care. I should ask Smom if she would allow me to tend to the plants.
Rosanna wandered happily around the garden thinking about what she could do there and wondering if Scott would be able to help clear in places as he had done behind his house. Then she started to think about what she could do in Scotts house should he....Nay twas thinking too far ahead.
Trouble was all thoughts lead back to Scott.

Solumn nodded slightly and replied, "Without further intrusion, I will bid you two a good day." Solumn thought of a minute then continued. "I will pay a visit in another time" His face was slightly pale and showed no emotion at all. He gave a gentleman's bow to Smom and Grams, then walked away.

Elensar was startled when Rosanna burst into the kitchen...she did not even have time to speak to her before she was gone. This was unfortunate, she had been hoping to speak to her cousin all day.
She turned her attention back to Amarth...Well sir, I have told you all about myself...I must admit it has been nice to have someone to talk to about these things. However, I must return to my work now...I really need the herbs Rosanna mentioned and I feel some fresh air would do me some good as I feel this headache returning.
She placed her gosling down on to the floor and stood from her chair...I bid you farewell sir...oh! and there are some fresh apple turnovers on the side there if you get hungry....she gave a brief smile and left, heading towards the gardens to meet with Rosanna.
She arrived and found Rosanna seemingly in her own little world, lost in thoughts. She was smiling to herself...They must be good thoughts then. Ele mused.
Rosanna. she said sharply...Wake up dear cousin!, she laughed and linked arms with hers...Will you walk with me to the lake? I need to clear my head....what it is you wanted to talk to me about?

Deep in thought Molly wandered the hall of the manor. When she ran into Elen and Rosanna
Hello Rosanna and Elensar, how are you both?

Rosanna was pleased to see her sister. Molly had been so busy doing her Mayoral work that she had had little time for her sister.

Smom, I don't think you've met Andrew here. We were just going to the parlor
to see the new clothes that Sol has made for him.
Please join us. We can have a good chat afterwards. I have so much to tell you.
I never got a chance to talk to you at the Marius family dinner.
Xander just whisked you away.

At the mention of Xanders name a smile crossed her lips "That he did." she sighed a bit remembering "Hello Andrew it is a pleasure to finally meet you, I have heard the staff whispering of a handsome new young man among us. Shall we go see my son Solumn?" she offers her hand to the young boy "You know between you and I Andrew, Solumn may appear mean but he is just a big softly at heart and I would know I am his Mum." she smiles reassuringly at him as they head to the parlor before tuning her head to address her Mum as they walk down the halls.
"Oh Mother I can't wait to tell you of my day yesterday. Did I tell you.... Rohnan spoke."

He did?
With that, they reached the parlor, and saw Sol waiting.
Welcome, Sol. So glad you came to visit. Have you been offered your drink of choice?

Solumn was going to say something but other things blocked his mind, finally he said politely to the servant. "Tea will be fine."
He then turned to Grams and Smom, there's no facial expression any sort and Solumn said in deep low voice, "I trust all of you have a pleasant time... now to the purpose of my visit."
Solumn went to open his trunk. It was rather small wooden trunk of good craft, from the look, it must have lasted at least a decade. Solumn looked over his shoulder and whispered to the kid in distance. "Come, little one, don't you want to see your new outfit?" As the kid was not to move any step further, Solumn took a couple of steps back along with something in his hand. Various color were visible to everyone's eyes and it was hard to make up how many clothes were actually in there.
Solumn smiled faintly as he took the tea from the servant, then he continued, "I made a couple of white shirts, black pants, and shoes as well. A black suit for special occasion." Solumn paused for a minute and fully examined Andrew for the first time. "Of course, a dozen more color of different clothes for the boy to choose from." He then waved at the kid. "They're all yours"
Solumn put the tea cup down and slowly walked to ward Grams. "Grandmother, I believe you will find this delightful"
A scarf hung over his lower arm.

It's nice to have your company Molly. I expect you have been very busy with mayoral duties.

Rosanna told Molly and Ele about her walk with Andrew and ended with telling of the meeting with Scott in the woods.
He said I have his heart
Molly listened for a while then excused herself to go back to the manor.
Rosanna chatted away for a while but noticed that Ele was unusually quiet.
Come on Ele we should go back.

A boy arrives at the Manor with a note from Duque.
How nice of Duque, Richgrams thinks, he is a good friend to host a surprise party for Scott.
She sends the boy back to Duque with a note saying that she would love to be there
Richgrams hurries to the kitchen.
Finding that neither Molly, Rosanna, nor Elensar is there, she calls the rest of the staff together.
I need you to pack hampers for a party.
Let's have wine, bread, and cheese for about 20 people. Goblets too.
Include a few blankets to spread on the grass.
We should have all of that on hand.
When it's ready, have it brought to Duque's house, down the road.
I will follow later.

After learning some news Smom pens a letter to her family
Quote:
My dear Family,
I have had the misfortune to hear some rather disturbing news about my adopted son. This information has hurt me deeply and I fear I must exile Solumn. From this day forward Solumn is no longer my son.
I need time by myself to heal from this devastatingly tragic news. I shall be gone till such a time I feel I can be around others. Please understand and respect my privacy .
I love you all,
Smom
Having a trusted servant take her bags to the carriage she picks up the twins, tears streaming down her cheeks the three of them leave the Manor, the note on her desk to be found later.

Looking for Smom, to tell her of the party, Richgrams finds the note on her desk.
As she reads it, her hands begin to tremble.
What could it be that kept Smom from saying goodbye to her own Mum, in person?
Richgrams thoughts turn to Sol, and she cannot hold back her tears.

As she and the twins are about to leave the Manor a sweaty out of breath messenger approaches her, frantic to get her attention. Stopping and taking the sealed letter she reads it slowly, as she does the expression on her face goes from shock to utter and complete furry.
"Driver have my bags brought back inside now. I will not be leaving."
Rushing into the Manor she yells for someone to get the twins and put them up in the Nursery before yelling once more..
"Molly, Molly Rose..... I need to speak to you now. I have just been given new information that changes everything. I have hurt my son and need to make amends and a guilty party will pay dearly for this deception."

"Yes, I fear your office is safer. Mine seems to be not as private as I thought."
Following her friend to her office she closes the door and fills her in. When she has shared all she knows the two of them reemerge once more.
"The next few days will be unique Molly that is for sure." she smiles "Shall we go see if Elensar has any fresh tea and biscuits?"

On the way back to the manor Ele stumbled. Rosanna was concerned and took her by the arm. As they entered Ele collapsed.
Rosanna saw Smom and Molly approaching.
Help there is something wrong with Ele.

Rosanna called for help and they carried Ele to the guest house. She laid her down on the bed.
She got a cold cloth and wiped E'le's brow as she waited anxiously for the doctor to arrive.

Still very upset, Smom checks to make sure the twins are ok and being cared for before heading to the stables to calm down.
Entering the stables she sees her horse Roi "Hi boy. Want to go for a ride?" she shoos away the groom and saddles Roi herself. Foot in stirrup she raises herself up and onto the strong animal, never liking to ride like a lady, she sits astride her trusted horse. With a movement of her leg and a tsk noise she leads him from the stable and towards the guest houses, hoping Ele is taken care of and the doctor has arrived.

Elensar held Rosanna's arm firmly to steady herself...the headache was getting worse...she couldnt understand why...she hopes Rosanna doesnt notice.
It's nice to have your company Molly. I expect you have been very busy with mayoral duties.
The arrive at the lake and Elensar sits on the grass.

Rosanna told Molly and Ele about her walk with Andrew and ended with telling of the meeting with Scott in the woods.
He said I have his heart
Molly listened for a while then excused herself to go back to the manor.
Rosanna chatted away for a while but noticed that Ele was unusually quiet.
Come on Ele we should go back.

A boy arrives at the Manor with a note from Duque.
How nice of Duque, Richgrams thinks, he is a good friend to host a surprise party for Scott.
She sends the boy back to Duque with a note saying that she would love to be there
Richgrams hurries to the kitchen.
Finding that neither Molly, Rosanna, nor Elensar is there, she calls the rest of the staff together.
I need you to pack hampers for a party.
Let's have wine, bread, and cheese for about 20 people. Goblets too.
Include a few blankets to spread on the grass.
We should have all of that on hand.
When it's ready, have it brought to Duque's house, down the road.
I will follow later.

After learning some news Smom pens a letter to her family
Quote:
My dear Family,
I have had the misfortune to hear some rather disturbing news about my adopted son. This information has hurt me deeply and I fear I must exile Solumn. From this day forward Solumn is no longer my son.
I need time by myself to heal from this devastatingly tragic news. I shall be gone till such a time I feel I can be around others. Please understand and respect my privacy .
I love you all,
Smom
Having a trusted servant take her bags to the carriage she picks up the twins, tears streaming down her cheeks the three of them leave the Manor, the note on her desk to be found later.

Looking for Smom, to tell her of the party, Richgrams finds the note on her desk.
As she reads it, her hands begin to tremble.
What could it be that kept Smom from saying goodbye to her own Mum, in person?
Richgrams thoughts turn to Sol, and she cannot hold back her tears.

As she and the twins are about to leave the Manor a sweaty out of breath messenger approaches her, frantic to get her attention. Stopping and taking the sealed letter she reads it slowly, as she does the expression on her face goes from shock to utter and complete furry.
"Driver have my bags brought back inside now. I will not be leaving."
Rushing into the Manor she yells for someone to get the twins and put them up in the Nursery before yelling once more..
"Molly, Molly Rose..... I need to speak to you now. I have just been given new information that changes everything. I have hurt my son and need to make amends and a guilty party will pay dearly for this deception."

"Yes, I fear your office is safer. Mine seems to be not as private as I thought."
Following her friend to her office she closes the door and fills her in. When she has shared all she knows the two of them reemerge once more.
"The next few days will be unique Molly that is for sure." she smiles "Shall we go see if Elensar has any fresh tea and biscuits?"

On the way back to the manor Ele stumbled. Rosanna was concerned and took her by the arm. As they entered Ele collapsed.
Rosanna saw Smom and Molly approaching.
Help there is something wrong with Ele.

Rosanna called for help and they carried Ele to the guest house. She laid her down on the bed.
She got a cold cloth and wiped E'le's brow as she waited anxiously for the doctor to arrive.

Still very upset, Smom checks to make sure the twins are ok and being cared for before heading to the stables to calm down.
Entering the stables she sees her horse Roi "Hi boy. Want to go for a ride?" she shoos away the groom and saddles Roi herself. Foot in stirrup she raises herself up and onto the strong animal, never liking to ride like a lady, she sits astride her trusted horse. With a movement of her leg and a tsk noise she leads him from the stable and towards the guest houses, hoping Ele is taken care of and the doctor has arrived.

Xander left the guest house and mounted his readied horse, as he started off he saw Smom riding past, he gently spurred his horse on and came up along side her.
Good day to you Smom, would you object with me accompanying you. I head to Kirkoswald, if you wish, would you care to join me

Hearing a horse trying to catch up she stayed her pace till it did, relieved it was Xander, as he was one of the few who could ease her troubled mind...
"I would love to ride with you to Kirkoswald, Xander. I would actually love to bounce something off a fresh mind."she smiled at him and together they headed towards the Castle.

Molly left the Manor by the back door, heading to the guest room to check on Elensar. She saw Smom joined by Xander riding off towards the gate, this brought a smile to her face.
Quickening her pace she went to the Guest house and entered
Rosanna whats the situation with Elen, tell me while you get to work with your potions

Rosanna was relieved to see Molly.
Molly Ele is burning up. I need to get more cold water to wash her down. I need to mix up another draft. I wish the doctor would hurry up.
Rosanna went to the kitchen thankful that at least she had the plants she needed but fearful they would not be enough. At least she had a book in her room where she had carefully written down the recipies the old lady had taught her.
If only the doctor would get there in time to tell her what was needed.

Ele tried to open her eyes...but couldn't. She did not seem to have the strength to even lift her eyelids a little.
She tried to call her cousin's name...but the sound stuck in her throat.
She felt she had a fever and the headache that she had been having on and off was now intensified. Pain seemed to shoot across the inside of her head like a lightening bolt.
She began to see vivid images...the pain was getting worse...she heard a far away cry...it sounded like her own voice but it was so distant to her now. She tried to focus on the images.

Richgrams composes herself and quickly walks over to the nursery.
Thank Yah, the twins are there, playing with their toys, under the care of a trusted servant.
With them here, she knows that Smom hasn't gone far or for long.
She looks in on the study, where a guard is busy teaching Andrew how to play a new game called draughts.
She asks the guard to keep Andrew with him and for them to eat together. This seems to make Andrew very happy.
Next, Richgrams goes to the kitchen, and asks for the whereabouts of Molly.
That's when a very excited cook's helper tells her of Elen's sudden illness.
Though her impulse is to go to the smaller guest house, she knows how strict Molly is about keeping illness out of the Manor.
She leaves word that she wishes to see Molly upon her return, and goes back to her room.
So much to think about, her head actually hurts.

The doctor arrived at the guest house just as Rosanna got back. She waited fearfully as he examined Ele.
Tiz a virus she has. We be best to bleed her
After Ele had been bled the doctor inspected the plants Rosanna had.
The doctor told Rosanna which medicinal plants were needed to help Ele.
Keep an eye on her. The next 24 hours be crucial. If the fever breaks by then she be alright. If not........
Thank ye Doctor.
After he left Rosanna gently wiped Ele's brow with the cold cloth. She gave her some of the drafts the doctor had recommended. It was going to be the longest 24 hours since her mother had passed.
Rosanna had a vague memory of her mother taking to her bed before she died. Her mother had coughed a lot. She remembered the blood on the rags her mother had held to her mouth. She shook her head to clear it from her memories and looked at her cousin. At least she was not coughing.
She went to the door.
Amarth please go to the chapel and pray to Jah for Ele's recovery

A messenger arrives at Morgan Manor with a letter addressed to Squire.
Quote:
Greetings Brother,
I'm writing to let you know I'm well and safe in Beeston. The trip down here was great with no problems, in fact I have enjoyed it very much. Things are a little different down here to what they are in Penrith, but its nothing I cant get used to.
I hope things are well in Penrith, I hope I haven't left at a bad time. I trust yourself and Ele are well? Could you let the rest of the family know I say hello and I wish them all well.
I hope to do some fishing and fruit picking on my way back up to Penrith, it may not be alot but at least it will be something. In the meantime, I'm having a good time, I have met some great people and I'm really enjoying myself down here with Mini.
Should you wish to write back, or should anyone wish to write back, Lelafirebird has kindly let me stay at Firebird Manor here in Beeston, so that is where to find me. Use the messenger I sent if you wish.
Take care Brother, don't do anything I wouldn't.
Oda.

I arrive at Morgan Manor from Kirkoswald Castle after a day of my duties, still sporting a little swelling from my altercation with my former leading hand .... a messenger waiting for me with a message from my Brother, Oda. ... I read it and smile, ever the adventurer I think to myself, pleased that he is having a great time on his travels. ... I quickly write a return letter ...
Quote:
Hello to you My Brother,
All is well with me although I have'nt seen El of late, I have asked a few but I can't seem to get a straight answer.
I just seen Amarth walk from the Guest House to the Chapel, Not sure what is going on but you know me, I'm just as inquistive as you are adventures.
I'll fill you in once I know more.
Tell Mini hello from us all here.
Take care and stay safe.
Merks
... and with that I send the messenger on his way with a few extra pence in his pocket and a wink .....
I walk out toward the Guest house and I hear faint voices coming from within, I hear Rosanna but can't make out what she is saying ... As I get closer I see the Doctor step out into the garden ... My curiousity now changes to concern ...

Elensar hears someone talking. She cannot make out who it is or what they are saying. The voices seems hushed.
She does not know where she is and she cannot open her eyes...she doesn't even try now. Although still lingering, the pain in her head has eased considerably. Her limbs feel heavy and she cannot raise her head.
Strangely, she feels a sense of peace within her. The images she saw...memories...had stopped now but she could at last remember the truth.
She tried to speak...it was nothing more than a whisper at first...Rosanna?, her voice was croaky...My...brothers..., she said as she drifted back off to sleep again.

Rosanna was in a light sleep when she heard Ele call for her and her brothers.
Shh Ele you need to sleep.
She felt her brow. It felt a little cooler though the fever was still upon her. She gave Ele some more medicine and gently washed her down again.
Rosanna went to the door of the guest house expecting to see Amarth there but he was nowhere in sight. Spying one of the servants out walking she called to them.
Please go to the manor and see if Squire Merks is there. Tell him that Ele is ill. It may do her good if her brother were to visit her.
Rosanna went back to Ele's side. She had fallen back into sleep. Was it wishful thinking or did she seem to be a bit more peaceful?

I read it and smile, ever the adventurer I think to myself, pleased that he is having a great time on his travels. ... I quickly write a return letter ...
Quote:
Hello to you My Brother,
All is well with me although I have'nt seen El of late, I have asked a few but I can't seem to get a straight answer.
I just seen Amarth walk from the Guest House to the Chapel, Not sure what is going on but you know me, I'm just as inquistive as you are adventures.
I'll fill you in once I know more.
Tell Mini hello from us all here.
Take care and stay safe.
Merks
... and with that I send the messenger on his way with a few extra pence in his pocket and a wink .....
I walk out toward the Guest house and I hear faint voices coming from within, I hear Rosanna but can't make out what she is saying ... As I get closer I see the Doctor step out into the garden ... My curiousity now changes to concern ...

Elensar hears someone talking. She cannot make out who it is or what they are saying. The voices seems hushed.
She does not know where she is and she cannot open her eyes...she doesn't even try now. Although still lingering, the pain in her head has eased considerably. Her limbs feel heavy and she cannot raise her head.
Strangely, she feels a sense of peace within her. The images she saw...memories...had stopped now but she could at last remember the truth.
She tried to speak...it was nothing more than a whisper at first...Rosanna?, her voice was croaky...My...brothers..., she said as she drifted back off to sleep again.

Rosanna was in a light sleep when she heard Ele call for her and her brothers.
Shh Ele you need to sleep.
She felt her brow. It felt a little cooler though the fever was still upon her. She gave Ele some more medicine and gently washed her down again.
Rosanna went to the door of the guest house expecting to see Amarth there but he was nowhere in sight. Spying one of the servants out walking she called to them.
Please go to the manor and see if Squire Merks is there. Tell him that Ele is ill. It may do her good if her brother were to visit her.
Rosanna went back to Ele's side. She had fallen back into sleep. Was it wishful thinking or did she seem to be a bit more peaceful?

I place my hand on the door and a cold shiver runs across my shoulders and I breath in deeply, shaking off the feeling ... I push the door open and my eye's immediatly fall upon the form laying on the bed, ignoring the advance of Rosanna I walk across the room without sound, holding my breath .... El .. My baby Sister laying motionless ... I sit on the edge of the bed and I take her hand and press it between mine ... a single tear runs down my cheek but I show no emotion ... looking at my Sister, so pale, breathing so shallow, she looks so small. ... I put my hand gently on her forehead and feel the fever .... Finally I look at Rosanna ..... In a low soft tone
Why wasn't I told?

Oh Squire I be sorry. I thought you were away. I been so busy trying to get her well. I be so worried about her. The Doc say that the next few hours be crucial. Now you are here maybe she will get better.
Rosanna then burst into tears. She was exhausted.

I put my hand on Rosanna's shoulder and give a reasuring squeez
It's ok mate ...I see you're doing everything you can ... No one can ask for more then that ...
I pull a hankachief from my sleave and hand it to Rosanna and watch her wipe the tears from her face.
You look very tied ... get some sleep ... I'll sit here for as long as it takes.
I take ahold of El's hand again and settle in knowing it will be a long night ... I take the wash cloth from the basin and lightly dab at her forehead

Thank ye Squire for I be very tired. Give her some more of this in 2 hours and please wake me if there be any change.
Rosanna handed Squire the draft and went into the next room and fell into a deep sleep knowing that Ele was in the hands of one who loved her.

After a few hours of sleeping Rosanna awoke and went in to see how Ele was doing. Merks had also fallen asleep and Rosanna couldn't help but smile as she saw he was still holding Ele's hand.
Rosanna was relieved to see that Ele was in a more peaceful sleep. Though still warm Ele's temperature was down. She had passed the danger point.
Rosanna gently awakened Merks and suggested that he retire to the other room. She went to the door and saw Amarth waiting there.
Amarth the fever has broken Ele is out of danger. Would you please go to the manor and ask that some clean bedding be brought over?
Rosanna went back to Ele's side.
Oh Jah I thank ye for sparing Ele's life. Please return her to normal health.
Rosanna was fearful that the high fever may have weakened Ele for the rest of her life.

Last night, Richgrams decided to seek out friends at the tavern, as it had been a very trying day.
As soon as she walked into Cap'n Morgan's, she spotted a beautiful young woman who seemed to be enjoying the antics of Levoc's twins.
Merks had spotted her too, and offered her an apple.
Her name is Meira and she was raised in France, but speaks perfect English.
Richgrams found her quite mannerly and, on an impulse, hired her as the much needed new nanny for Smom's twins.
They returned to the Manor together, and went up to the nursery.
There they found a somewhat frazzled kitchen helper watching the twins, who told Richgrams that Amarth had come with the good news that Elen's fever had broken.
Richgrams dismissed the helper with orders to bring up a supper tray for Meira.
Richgrams motioned Meira to the door and pointed out her own room, should Meira need her for any reason.
The bed had clean linen. The nappies were in this drawer.
Then richgrams left her there and went to her room for a much needed rest.

Meira surveyed the nursery with pleasure. It was cheerfully decorated, and the babies were adorable.
"Thank you for all your help, Richgrams," she said as Richgrams left.
The kitchen helper had seemed very relieved to go back to the kitchens, but Meira was delighted with the babies. She ran them a bath, since they'd already been fed. After being bathed and put into their nightclothes, they both seemed very drowsy. Meira laid the boy in his cot, but the little girl was fretting a bit, so she rocked her and hummed a tune she remembered from childhood, and smiled as the baby's eyes gradually closed.
'Now that they're asleep, I think I could use some rest myself,' she thought, eyeing the soft bed. 'Good that Elenar's fever has broken; it would have been horrible if the illness had spread. Pray Jah it doesn't.'
It had been a very long, eventful day, and she fell asleep two moments after her head hit the pillow.

The night went slowly as I had watched over El, given the potion Roanna had suggest a couple of hours after she had gone to the other room to sleep ... I heard the birds starting to waken ... moving off the side of El's bed and into the chair next to her I kept ahold of my little Sisters hand all the while ... next thing I know Rosanna is gently waking me ... how long did I sleep, so unlike me but then I had just gotten back from a long journey and had'nt slept for over 32 hours ... I got up from the chair looking closly at my Sister and checked her forehead again, smiled and looked at Rosanna .... With that I retired to the other room and slept, dreaming of my wife and son and the time of their fatal illness, my sleep was far from restfull ...

Elensar lay on the bed. Things seemed much clearer now in her head.
She opened her eyes slowly...everything swimming back into focus. She saw her cousin by her side, looking worn out and pale.
Rosanna...

Ele smiles at Rosanna...I'd like some water please, my mouth feels very dry....she swallowed painfully before continuing, How long have I been here? I dont remember much...
She tried to prop herself up but slumped back down.

Rosanna got Ele some water and then mixed a draft to ease her throat.
Ele Merks has been here all night, Amarth also. We were afeared that you would die.
There be some clean bedding here soon. I will wash you down and then you will feel better.
Rosanna hoped that Amarth would think to send back a clean nightdress for Ele to wear.

Rosanna was pleased when she opened the door and Amarth was there.
Thank ye Amarth.
Rosanna helped Ele out of the bed. Washed her down, changed the bedding and helped her back into the bed again. By this time Ele was exhausted and fell asleep again.

I awoke to the sound of knocking but fell back asleep when I heard Rosanna talking, I hear some mumbling and movement but it does'nt dawn on me that El would be awake and I drift off back to sleep ....
All of a sudden I hear my name called ..... El ..... I spring out of bed .... Wide awake, as if I had gotten a full night ....
I open the door and look over to the bed where El is laying .... A browd smile comes across my face ...
Good day to you my dear Sister ... it's nice to see your doing much better. ... How do you feel?
I sit on the edge of El bed and take ahold of her hand as before, I smile back in Rosanna's direction ...
How is her fever?

Rosanna smiles.
Her fever has broken. She be fine in a day or two. She just need to get her strength back. If ye be able to sit with her a bit I shall send over some broth for Ele and someone to sit with her. I think if her throat is better she could move back to the manor later today.
I will freshen up and maybe take Andrew on a wee walk. Ele I will come back later.
Rosanna went to the kitchen and asked that some broth be made and taken to Ele. She found one of the day staff to tidy up the guest house and to stay with Ele if Merks needed to get on with his daily tasks.
Twas good to be out of the sick room. Rosanna was fine with the gathering of herbs and plants to make the medicinal mixtures, that was outdoor work, but being confined inside was difficult for her.
After freshening up she found Andrew and suggested they take a walk.

Meira woke early to the sound of birds singing. The babies were still asleep, so she quickly washed up and tried to detangle her curls. As the twins began to stir, she heard a knock at the door, and a kitchen worker brought in a tray with milk for the babies and porridge for breakfast.
After they had all eaten, and the babies had been washed and dressed, she gathered up a blanket and a few toys in a basket. Setting a twin on each hip, she headed out the nursery door.
"It's a lovely day outside. Let's go get some fresh air, shall we?"

Richgrams had risen early.
She had an unhappy task ahead of her today.
Today is the funeral of Rohannon, husband of Lady Brianna.
Her heart went out to that gracious woman who had just become widowed for the second time.
Her children were still too young to understand and offer their mother comfort.
Richgrams would offer the condolences and support of the Morgan family.
Seeing that the carriage was ready, she quietly descended the stairs.

Smiling at Rosanna as I heard her words, excellent news ... but she is not completely out of the woods yet, knowing how an illness can just as easerly turn around on it's self but I wipe away that feeling and keep positive thought... I smile down at El who looked a great deal better after being freshened up, continuing to smile ...
This is good news dear Sister, I'll stay here with you to help you eat and I can tell you all about my last few days ... I give a little laugh and a wink... That should put you to sleep. ...
I watch as the help comes in with a bowl on broth ... place it on the table here please ... I'll take care of it ...
I help El sit up a little, adjusting her pillows to make her a bit more comfortable and start helping her to eat.... looking at the servent
Stay here and tidy up a little .... once El goes to sleep I need you to stay here, I have to take care of some business at the stables and my home but I'll be back as fast as I can.
I continue to feed El until she seems to not want any more ... talking all the while about the last few days ...

She bid him farewell as he left then she settled herself back on to the pillows. The servant that Merks had left with her was busy fussing over this and that...
Excuse me...umm...what is your name?, she said...the girl replied and said her name was Agnes.
Well Agnes, pleased to meet you...I'm feeling restless...could you find something for me to do please? Maybe you could bring my recipe book so I can continue with that...or even some embroidery or knitting just to keep me occupied., she smiles at the girl who bobs slightly and scurries off.
Ele sits back once more and hopes that she will have someone visit her today...she has much to tell.

Meira walked through the grounds, admiring the beautiful landscape. It had been too dark the previous evening to get a good look at her surroundings. Now, however, she could see how nicely everything was maintained, and the servants and others bustling about their duties gave the entire manor a quiet hum of activity. She wondered how Elensar was faring, since Richgrams had seemed so worried about her and so relieved last night when told she was doing better.
She found a nice shady spot and spread the blanket out under a large tree, then sat down with the twins and gave them the blocks and doll she had brought.
"No, no, Gilly, we don't try to eat acorns," she said, taking one from the little girl, who had been trying to put one in her mouth. "Here, look at the dolly dance," and she bounced the doll on the blanket. Gilly laughed and grabbed for the doll.
Rohnan, meanwhile, was far more interested in holding on to Meira's hands and trying to stand up than he was in the toys scattered across the blanket. After a while, he tired of this and began to crawl away, but the grass was still a bit wet. Finally, he discovered how he could put all the blocks into the basket and then dump them back out again. "That's right, all gone!"
Meira looked up as she heard footsteps approaching.

Although I leave my Sister in much better health and in good hands my concerns don't fade as I walk through the gardens toward the stables, I come around a small grove of willows and there sitting on a blanket is Meira and the children, I stop a few feet away from the edge and croutch down placing one hand on to the wet grass infront of me to keep from falling, now at eye level .. I smile at the children and then at Meira ...
Good morning Meira, How was your first night at the Castle?

Rosanna and Andrew came back to the manor after their walk. Andrew spied Merks, Meira and the twins and went running over. He told Merks and Meira about the owls and started to play with the twins. She was pleased to hear from Merks that Ele had eaten.
Meira I hope it be alright with you if I leave Andrew for a while. I want to get back to see how Ele is.
Rosanna went to the guest house and was overjoyed to see Ele with her recipe book, some knitting and needlework though she looked as though she didn't know where to start with them.
Rosanna smiled at Ele. Ele tiz good to see ye feeling better but I'm not sure ye be ready to tackle these. Ye still need to rest a bit.
Rosanna moved the things aside. She made another draft which Ele drank willingly though grimaced as it was bitter.
Rosanna sat by Ele's bed and suggested Ele might feel the need for more sleep.

Meira smiled at Squire Merks. "It was quite restful, thank you. And you? Did you sleep well?" Squire Merks told her of staying by Elen's bedside and of her recovery. They were interrupted by a small boy running towards them, with a woman not far behind.
"Of course I don't mind if Andrew stays with us. I know you have been very worried about her." Andrew was happily chatting about the owls and entertaining the twins.
Rosanna hurried toward the guesthouse to check on Elensar. Meira looked at Squire Merks. "You can join us on the blanket, if you like, so you don't have to crouch. It must be uncomfortable for such a tall man as yourself. You take care of the horses and the stables, yes? Are there many horses here?"

Thank you, but I can only stay for a little while, I have a lot to do today and not enough time to do it ... I give a little laugh Story of my life
I stand and stretch a little before I move forward to sit on the blanket
Yes, I take care of the stables, to be exact I am the marshel of the stables, it's very involved ..... Currently there are close to sixty horses, Fifty of which just recently arrived
Do you ride at all?

"My goodness, sixty? No wonder you have more work than time available! Yes, I used to ride frequently with the mamselles Marie and Justine, but I haven't had much opportunity lately. After they moved away from the chateau, most of my time was spent taking care of my mother and working for Lady Couteau. And once I left, I was too busy for leisurely pursuits like riding."
Meira smiled, remembering. "But we had fun, Gris-chaussures and I. She was the palfrey I used to ride."
Andrew piped up then, saying he was hungry. Meira smiled at the boy, suddenly realizing how late in the day it had become. She turned to Squire Merks.
"I've kept you from your duties too long, I'm afraid. I should probably take the children in and

Rosanna was pleased when she opened the door and Amarth was there.
Thank ye Amarth.
Rosanna helped Ele out of the bed. Washed her down, changed the bedding and helped her back into the bed again. By this time Ele was exhausted and fell asleep again.

She opens her eyes hoping someone is there with her...

I awoke to the sound of knocking but fell back asleep when I heard Rosanna talking, I hear some mumbling and movement but it does'nt dawn on me that El would be awake and I drift off back to sleep ....
All of a sudden I hear my name called ..... El ..... I spring out of bed .... Wide awake, as if I had gotten a full night ....
I open the door and look over to the bed where El is laying .... A browd smile comes across my face ...
Good day to you my dear Sister ... it's nice to see your doing much better. ... How do you feel?
I sit on the edge of El bed and take ahold of her hand as before, I smile back in Rosanna's direction ...
How is her fever?

Rosanna smiles.
Her fever has broken. She be fine in a day or two. She just need to get her strength back. If ye be able to sit with her a bit I shall send over some broth for Ele and someone to sit with her. I think if her throat is better she could move back to the manor later today.
I will freshen up and maybe take Andrew on a wee walk. Ele I will come back later.
Rosanna went to the kitchen and asked that some broth be made and taken to Ele. She found one of the day staff to tidy up the guest house and to stay with Ele if Merks needed to get on with his daily tasks.
Twas good to be out of the sick room. Rosanna was fine with the gathering of herbs and plants to make the medicinal mixtures, that was outdoor work, but being confined inside was difficult for her.
After freshening up she found Andrew and suggested they take a walk.

Meira woke early to the sound of birds singing. The babies were still asleep, so she quickly washed up and tried to detangle her curls. As the twins began to stir, she heard a knock at the door, and a kitchen worker brought in a tray with milk for the babies and porridge for breakfast.
After they had all eaten, and the babies had been washed and dressed, she gathered up a blanket and a few toys in a basket. Setting a twin on each hip, she headed out the nursery door.
"It's a lovely day outside. Let's go get some fresh air, shall we?"

Richgrams had risen early.
She had an unhappy task ahead of her today.
Today is the funeral of Rohannon, husband of Lady Brianna.
Her heart went out to that gracious woman who had just become widowed for the second time.
Her children were still too young to understand and offer their mother comfort.
Richgrams would offer the condolences and support of the Morgan family.
Seeing that the carriage was ready, she quietly descended the stairs.

Smiling at Rosanna as I heard her words, excellent news ... but she is not completely out of the woods yet, knowing how an illness can just as easerly turn around on it's self but I wipe away that feeling and keep positive thought... I smile down at El who looked a great deal better after being freshened up, continuing to smile ...
This is good news dear Sister, I'll stay here with you to help you eat and I can tell you all about my last few days ... I give a little laugh and a wink... That should put you to sleep. ...
I watch as the help comes in with a bowl on broth ... place it on the table here please ... I'll take care of it ...
I help El sit up a little, adjusting her pillows to make her a bit more comfortable and start helping her to eat.... looking at the servent
Stay here and tidy up a little .... once El goes to sleep I need you to stay here, I have to take care of some business at the stables and my home but I'll be back as fast as I can.
I continue to feed El until she seems to not want any more ... talking all the while about the last few days ...

Elensar awakens from sleep once again. The room is quite and peaceful, she feels rested and calm.
She picks up her needlework and continues where she left it...she thinks back on everything she has remembered about her past...absent-mindedly she pokes the needle through and stabs her finger...
Ouch!
At this moment she hears someone creeping in through the door and she looks up.

I'm feeling quite tired still but much better than I was. I had dreams...they were memories.
Ele sets down her needlework and smiles at Rosanna and pats the bed beside her motioning for her to sit nearer...
It feels like I havent seen you for a long time Rosanna...how is everything? What has been going on while I've been sleeping?

Ele I went for a walk with Andrew and we ended up at Scotts house.
Rosanna talked all about Scott then she looked at Ele.
Oh sorry Ele. You look tired. Do ye need to rest or something?

Ele smiles at Rosanna...I feel a little bit worn out but I think I've done enough sleeping for a while. I'm glad Andrew seems to be doing ok...and great tha you and Scott have had a chance to talk about things., she winks at her cousin.
Has my brother been here?, she looked at Rosanna and frowned slightly, I hope he hasnt been worrying himself.
She gazed into the distance then returned her focus to Rosanna...And what of Amarth? I vaguely remember him being here...is that right?

Ele Merks has been in here with you all night. Yes you may have heard me talking to Amarth. He kept a vigil outside the door. Me thinks he is rather fond of you.

No!, said Ele defensively...then she grinned at Rosanna remembering how she had teased her.
I've just been remembering things...things that I had forgotten...how I arrived here.
Ele looked at Rosanna with determination in her eyes...I want to get back to the kitchen as soon as possible., she said, Maybe after a little more rest.

Meira watched as Squire Merks headed off towards the stables with an easy confident stride. 'Certainly nothing like the odious stuffed shirts mamselles Marie and Justine admired. Non, pas de tout (no, not at all),' she thought. Taking a breath, she turned back to the children and began gathering up the toys and folding the blanket. She picked up the twins.
"Andrew, could you carry the basket for me? We'll go in and see what there is to eat."
The group walked back into the manor and made their way to the nursery. On the way, she asked for a lunch to be brought up. They ate in the nursery, and when the twins began to rub their eyes, she laid them down for a short nap. Then she and Andrew began a game of draughts, trying to play quietly so the babies would sleep. Meira hoped that Rosanna would realize where they had gone.

Ele I will leave ye to rest for a bit. I ha just remembered I ha left Andrew with Meira. She be nannying the twins. I must go find them.
Rosanna went back to the manor. On entering the kitchen she was informed that Meira had taken the children up to the nursery.
Rosanna opened the door to see the twins asleep and Meira playing draughts with Andrew.
Meira would ye like me to take Andrew for a bit so ye can ha a wee rest yeself. Mebe I should take him and start to teach him some letters. A lad needs to learn to read and do his numbers.
Andrew looked at Rosanna in dismay then looked pleadenly towards Meira.

Meira saw the stricken look on Andrew's face and had an idea.
"Rosanna, we were nearly through with our game, but I'm not that tired. I don't mind if he stays here with me. And I was thinking perhaps Andrew could help me with this," she said, holding up a huge book she had taken from a shelf and winking at Rosanna over Andrew's head. Rosanna caught the joke and nodded in assent. After she left, Meira turned back to Andrew.
"Now, you don't want to read this book, do you?" she asked. Andrew shook his head no quickly. "Well, what do you think about this?" And she took down the mirror from the wall. She worked up a good lather with some soap and water and spread it across the polished metal, then drew in the soap a letter A. Andrew smiled, thinking it was funny to play with the soap that way.
"See? That's an A, and it makes an Ay sound or an Ah sound. Can you draw one right below?" Andrew grinned and swirled his finger through the soap suds, making a line of A's. In this manner, they got through most of the alphabet before the twins woke up.

I'm getting a little peckish too but as you pointed out I have my duties to attend to, It's been a pleasure to see you again, have an enjoyable day ...
I stand and help Meira to her feet ... smiling I take my leave. ... walking briskly toward the stables I think to myself .. pleasant young lady, she'll make some man very happy one day I'm sure. ... then my thoughts go back to my Sister ... I'm very pleased that she is doing so much better ... time to get my head out of the clouds and consider my days activitise ...

Ele smiles at her dear cousin.
I'm feeling quite tired still but much better than I was. I had dreams...they were memories.
Ele sets down her needlework and smiles at Rosanna and pats the bed beside her motioning for her to sit nearer...
It feels like I havent seen you for a long time Rosanna...how is everything? What has been going on while I've been sleeping?

Well Ele all sorts ha been going on but I been busy here with you.
Rosanna smiles at Ele.
Ele I went for a walk with Andrew and we ended up at Scotts house.
Rosanna talked all about Scott then she looked at Ele.
Oh sorry Ele. You look tired. Do ye need to rest or something?

Ele smiles at Rosanna...I feel a little bit worn out but I think I've done enough sleeping for a while. I'm glad Andrew seems to be doing ok...and great tha you and Scott have had a chance to talk about things., she winks at her cousin.
Has my brother been here?, she looked at Rosanna and frowned slightly, I hope he hasnt been worrying himself.
She gazed into the distance then returned her focus to Rosanna...And what of Amarth? I vaguely remember him being here...is that right?

Ele Merks has been in here with you all night. Yes you may have heard me talking to Amarth. He kept a vigil outside the door. Me thinks he is rather fond of you.
Rosanna is happy to be able to tease her cousin and is interested to see what the reaction will be.

Rosanna smiles. It would be good to see her cousin happy with someone like she is with Scott.
Well Ele be there anything ye need? Me thinks when you are ready to make the walk ye could go back to the manor. Or mebe we could get Amarth to carry ye.
Rosanna laughed.

She grins and pats Rosanna's hand...I would like something to eat...how is the kitchen without me?

They be missing ye but they be alright.
Rosanna went to the kitchen and asked that some food be prepared for Ele and brought over.
She returned to Ele and sat on the bed beside her.
Cmon Ele I can see there be something ye are thinking about. Be it Amarth?

No!, said Ele defensively...then she grinned at Rosanna remembering how she had teased her.
I've just been remembering things...things that I had forgotten...how I arrived here.
Ele looked at Rosanna with determination in her eyes...I want to get back to the kitchen as soon as possible., she said, Maybe after a little more rest.

Meira watched as Squire Merks headed off towards the stables with an easy confident stride. 'Certainly nothing like the odious stuffed shirts mamselles Marie and Justine admired. Non, pas de tout (no, not at all),' she thought. Taking a breath, she turned back to the children and began gathering up the toys and folding the blanket. She picked up the twins.
"Andrew, could you carry the basket for me? We'll go in and see what there is to eat."
The group walked back into the manor and made their way to the nursery. On the way, she asked for a lunch to be brought up. They ate in the nursery, and when the twins began to rub their eyes, she laid them down for a short nap. Then she and Andrew began a game of draughts, trying to play quietly so the babies would sleep. Meira hoped that Rosanna would realize where they had gone.

Ele I will leave ye to rest for a bit. I ha just remembered I ha left Andrew with Meira. She be nannying the twins. I must go find them.
Rosanna went back to the manor. On entering the kitchen she was informed that Meira had taken the children up to the nursery.
Rosanna opened the door to see the twins asleep and Meira playing draughts with Andrew.
Meira would ye like me to take Andrew for a bit so ye can ha a wee rest yeself. Mebe I should take him and start to teach him some letters. A lad needs to learn to read and do his numbers.
Andrew looked at Rosanna in dismay then looked pleadenly towards Meira.

Meira saw the stricken look on Andrew's face and had an idea.
"Rosanna, we were nearly through with our game, but I'm not that tired. I don't mind if he stays here with me. And I was thinking perhaps Andrew could help me with this," she said, holding up a huge book she had taken from a shelf and winking at Rosanna over Andrew's head. Rosanna caught the joke and nodded in assent. After she left, Meira turned back to Andrew.
"Now, you don't want to read this book, do you?" she asked. Andrew shook his head no quickly. "Well, what do you think about this?" And she took down the mirror from the wall. She worked up a good lather with some soap and water and spread it across the polished metal, then drew in the soap a letter A. Andrew smiled, thinking it was funny to play with the soap that way.
"See? That's an A, and it makes an Ay sound or an Ah sound. Can you draw one right below?" Andrew grinned and swirled his finger through the soap suds, making a line of A's. In this manner, they got through most of the alphabet before the twins woke up.

Suprised at how fast his day had gone, Deciding on a new leading hand for the stables, getting the stables cleaned for any suprise inspection and training a new faria to shoe the horses amoung a few other things, borrowing a horse and riding to my home and fields sped things up considerably ... I ride hard back to the Manor to check on El's condition.
I see Rosanna walking out in the Gardens back toward the Guest House and I stop and step off in one easy motion right infront of her, She seemed to have her mind else where because I startal her ... Smiling browdy ...
Sorry, this may make upfor it though ... a small gesture for helping my Sister in her hour of need ...
and I hand her a large basket brimming with freshly picked Vegitables
I won't take No for an answer ..... Now take me to my Sister if you please I would dearly like to see her

Rosanna smiled at Merks she thought he was so sweet.
Why thank ye very much. Come with me. Mebe we can get Ele out of her sick bed to prepare the vegetables.
Smiling a their little joke she headed back to the guest house with Merks.
I would love to get a vegetable garden growing here. I know Ele would like it along with the herbs. In fact the gardens all over need a bit of care. When Ele is better I will ask if I may tend to them. I like to be busy and to feel of some use
Together they entered the Guest house.

*finishing up the roof of my office with my mind on other things or a certain person, I quickly climb down the ladder an lay my hammer to rest. I walk quickly over to the Guest house an press my ear to the door. Hearing voices I quickly head back an continue on the final stages of my office. Hanging the door an shutters as the final things on the outside of my small office. I step back an smile as I look at the completed building.

Sleeping like a new born babe, thank you with all my heart for making my baby Sister better ...
I look at the basket I had just handed to Rosanna ... it will never come close to what I could ever pay ... I give Rosanna a hug which even suprises me, not been the type of man to do such a thing ...

Rosanna was surprised by the hug.
No need for ye to thank me for I love Ele as my own sister. We all be cousins divided when young to be united by Jah for reasons we do not know. I see the love you have for Ele, tis grand. I have never known the love of a brother. Ele be very lucky.
I know ye have a great deal of work to do. I be happy to sleep here should she need anything. On the morro I think she be well enough to get up and mebe move back to the manor.

Elensar awakens. Hazy sunlight is filtering in through the window and she can hear distant bird song.
She stretches out her arms then pulls back the covers. She sits up and swings her legs around slowly.
Rosanna will probably tell me off for getting up on my own... she mumbled to herself.
Her feet touched the floor...it was cold. She gradually eased herself up but felt unsteady and fell back on to the bed.
She muttered under her breath.

Rosanna entered the room.
Ele don't try asnd get up yet you silly girl. I will go to the kitchen and have some food brought over. After you have eaten I will help you up and we shall go back to the manor.
Rosanna ordered some food to be brought over.
She watched Ele eat and was pleased to see the colour had returned to her cheeks.
Now Ele are you ready to try again. Here put these on we don't want your feet getting cold.

Having finished harvesting the remainder of my fields I take my bounty to the market for sale, not suprisingly everything is snatched up quickly so with that the sun high in the midday sky I head home and saddle the horse so I can ride to the Manor and check on my Sisters progress .... once there I walk in to an empty guest house ... perplexed, I look around and see the basket of vegetables I had given to Rosanna the day before, strange but I'm sure she has a lot on her mind I think .... I pick up the basket and walk over to the Manor leaving my horse tied to the rail outside of the guest house .... I stop at the servents entrance and listen to the sounds of the house .... I hear activity in the kitchen so figure it best to go there and drop off the basket ... I ask one of the kitchen help if they know where El is ... "up stairs in the guest room sir" ...I thank her and tell them to do nothing with the vegetable until Rosanna comes down. ... I take the steps two at a time with ease ... and at the door ... I gently knock ...

I am feeling much better now thank you. Rosanna helped me walk here...although, I am still a little unsteady on my feet.
She giggles and tries to adjust her pillows a little.
I'm sure it will pass soon. I'm hoping to take a walk by the lake soon. I think the fresh air will do me some good.
She smiles at her brother and pats his hand, So tell me, what has been going on with you?

I stand and help adjust El's pillows.
You must tell me when your ready to go for your walk, I'd like to be there just in case I'm needed to carry you ... I smile and wink
A lot has been happening in my little corner of the world, I had to fire my leading hand at the stables and hire a new one, a slight altercation forced my hand, I harvested my fields and sold my crop in record times, oh and I'm not sure if you have been told but there is a new nanny here at the manor, Her name is Meira, I feel that you two will get on quite well, she heralds from Franch but her english is quite good.
I sit back in to the chair feeling some what relieved and a little tied after such a hecktic morning. ... thinking this is indeed a good day.
If you feel upto it I can carry you down in to the garden for a little fresh air ... with Rosanna's approval of course

Rosanna went into the kitchen and spied the vegetables that she had left at the Guest house. Realizing that Merks must be at the manor she hurried up to Ele's room. She entered as Ele was mentioning a walk by the lake.
Merks I thank ye again for the vegetables and have instructed the kitchen hands to prepare them I hope you will stay to dine with us.
She looked sternly at Ele.
Ye will not be walking by the lake today Ele. Ye need to build up your strength. However, I do believe that the fresh air twill be good for ye if ye brother be happy to help ye to the garden we shall eat there.

I smile broadly at Rosanna's words and sit up straight
I'm ready when you are, If you like I can go down into the garden first and set up the table for us, this will give you ladies some time to talk and get ready and I'll be right up to help you down
I think,,, mmm food, it would be good to finally have a solid meal, three days is far too long to go without.
I'll see you both in about twenty minutes

Richgrams puts down the book she has been reading, and walks over to the window.
Is that Squire Merks in the garden? Of course it is, none other is that tall.
Setting up a table? Richgrams curiosity wins out again, and downstairs she goes to check things out.
Why hello Merks. What are you up to this glorious day?
Merks tells Richgrams of the coming meal and asks her to join them.
Thank you. Ordinarily, I wouldn't intrude, but I have been trying to catch Rosanna for days now.
She has been so busy getting Elen well again. It would be nice to visit with all of you.

Rosanna and Ele got ready. Ele was impatient to get outside so they decided not to wait for Merks to return. On their way down they saw Meira.
Meira tis a lovely day. We be going to eat outside. If the twins be sleeping why don't you leave them with someone and bring Andrew to join us?

"I would love to. I thought the twins were waking up, but it was just Rohnan turning over." Meira laughed a little. "I think this morning wore them out."
Rosanna and Ele headed out, and Meira saw one of the servants coming down the hall. "Could you stay with the twins for a little while? They're sleeping now, but if you need me, I'll be out on the lawn with the others." The servant nodded and Meira turned to Andrew.
"Come along, Andrew. You can show Rosanna your letters."
The pair walked out to the picnic, where the others were gathering.

After finding a nice sunny spot in the garden, setting up the table and chatting with Richgrams I realise I had completely lost track of time and am about to explain to Richgrams that I have to rush up stairs to help Rosanna bring El down for our lunch I hear voices comming from beyond the flower beds ... I smile and walk around to Richgrams and hold out her chair. ...
I hear our guests comming As I look in the direction of the voices I hear a couple more unexspected one's, Thinking ... I'm so glad I have set a few extra places ... I look at El and Rosanna ...
I'm sorry I was't a little faster but I hope this will make up for it ...
I walk over to El and swoop her up ... I can at least take you the rest of the way and I give a little laugh as I gently place her on her chair .... I hear Andrew ..... "Me next, me next" ... By all means Master Andrew ... and I pick him up and throw him high into the air and catch him ... spin around and place him on his seat ... Good day to you again Rosanna ... I hold her chair out and with a suprised tone in my voice and smile on my face.... And Meira ... A pleasure to see you again ...I hold her seat as well ... Then make my way to mine and sit ...

Rosanna was delighted to see how much trouble Merks had gone to. He really was a treasure. She noticed how his smile widened when he spied Meira and smiled to herself. It was wonderful to see Grams. It seemed so long since she had seen her.
Ah it would have been perfect if Scott had been there and maybe Amarth for Ele. He had been very helpful when Ele first became ill.
Looking around Rosanna decided it was almost perfect. If only the garden were in better condition.
How are ye feeling miLady? Tis a while since I have seen ye.
Then without waiting for an answer Rosanna spake about that which had been worrying her .
MiLady I fear that with Molly leaving soon there be no place for me here at the manor. I feel that I mebe ye be wanting me to go with her or find a place in town to live
Rosanna felt the tears welling in her eyes as she surveyed this family that she had grown to love so much in such a short time. How could she stand to leave these people. She knew that if she were no longer welcome at the manor that she would have to find a place in town to stay as she could not leave Scott.
Andrew as always was listening to what was being said and rushed over to Rosanna throwing himself into her arms.
Don't ye be leaving Rosanna. Who would take me to see the owls?
Rosanna kissed the boy on the forehead. He pulled away Yuck and wiped his head. Everyone laughed at him. Rosanna smiled when she compared the lad she had found sobbing in the woods with the happy child before her.
I won't be going far Andrew. I will still take ye to visit the owls.

Elensar laughed as her brother lifted her to her seat. She looked around at the table and smiled, it all looked wonderful...she was very hungry all of a sudden.
She noticed Merk's smiling at Meira and looked over to see her blush slightly. She giggled to herself.
She looked across at Grams and smiled...then Rosanna spoke. She had a feeling that Rosanna had been worrying about this. She hoped that Rosanna would not have to leave. She waited for Grams to speak.

The table setting was lovely, and Meira chuckled as Squire Merks swung Andrew around and put him on his chair. She smiled back at him as he helped her to her chair, then coloured a bit as she sat down. 'What would Maman say to me? Those who must work to live must keep their minds on their task. Tiens, and he is attentive and courteous to all the ladies here, trés charmant (very charming), and it is kind of them to include me...but I must remember that I am here to tend the children,' she thought.
She listened to Rosanna's words with concern. Rosanna seemed like such a nice woman, Meira hoped she would not be leaving so soon. It was so nice to have the company of the others in the Manor, and she hated to think there would be upheaval there so soon after her arrival. She wondered how Lady Richgrams would respond.

Richgrams looked around at all the happy young faces.
Even Elen had her smile back, though she was still somewhat pale looking.
Rosanna, I've been planning on speaking to you about your place in the running of the manor.
Spring has finally arrived, and I can see that the gardens need much work.
I'd like to offer you the position of Head Groundskeeper, with full authority to hire the helpers required.
You can find a place to grow your herbs, and Merks here can teach you the art of growing vegetables.
You can keep the room next to mine for as long as you like. What say you?

Rosanna not one for holding back hugged Grams.
I thank ye . Twould be wonderful. I were thinking how the garden needs attending. I didn't tell you but already I ha started a little patch for me herbs and medicinal plants. Ele was saying she would like a herb garden near the kitchen. Mebe Andrew would like to learn out here too. Could you walk with me later and tell me what you would like done? There be so much to do.
Rosanna head started brimming with ideas. She was so grateful to be able to stay here with her new family and be near to Scott.

Elensar smiled at the exchange between Rosanna and Grams. She would have missed her cousin terribly if she had to leave. She wanted to hug Grams as well but felt too weak to move from her seat so instead she raised her glass.
Here's to Rosanna's new job, I wish her all the best...cheers!
She smiled and took a sip the placed her glass back on the table gently.
Would it be alright if we ate now? I'm ravenous!
She grinned at her brother who seemed to lost in his own thoughts while looking at Meira...she spotted Andrew crawling under the table and giggled. How nice it was to be surrounded by family and friends.

I stand and help adjust El's pillows.
You must tell me when your ready to go for your walk, I'd like to be there just in case I'm needed to carry you ... I smile and wink
A lot has been happening in my little corner of the world, I had to fire my leading hand at the stables and hire a new one, a slight altercation forced my hand, I harvested my fields and sold my crop in record times, oh and I'm not sure if you have been told but there is a new nanny here at the manor, Her name is Meira, I feel that you two will get on quite well, she heralds from Franch but her english is quite good.
I sit back in to the chair feeling some what relieved and a little tied after such a hecktic morning. ... thinking this is indeed a good day.
If you feel upto it I can carry you down in to the garden for a little fresh air ... with Rosanna's approval of course

She chuckled a little, It would be handy to have someone to carry me though!

The chattering and laughter around the table had resumed. Grams was fussing over Andrew who had bumped his head under the table.
Elensar caught a glimpse of someone walking over towards them...she turned then smiled and waved. She didn't want to chance getting up so she waited for him to reach the table.

I was pleased that Rosanna would be staying at the monor and I had offered to give her some of my best vegetable seeds and some advice on how to grow them with the least amount of effort ... Hearing El say she was ravinous I motioned to the servent who was standing at the edge of the garden who in turn motioned further down the path which bought forward a small procession bareing trays of food and drink .... I watch as I see El's eyes widen as the food comes closer and is placed on the table ... I give a little chuckle, expecting a glare back from El but it isn't forth comming, I notice everyone looking past me toward the waters edge and waving to someone .. I spin around on my chair and look over my shoulder to see Amarth standing in the distance .... As he approaches I see the colour flush his cheeks and I notice as he speaks with El he seems a little flusted ....With Grams words "The more the marrier" I stand and get another chair and place it next to El and I in turn move mine further down to the corner of the table .... I reach out my hand to shake Amarth's ...
It's always good to see you my friend, How goes the repairs to your office? .... Please, Sit ...
I reach over and pick up a fresh glass for Amarth and pour him some wine .... Thinking ... This may settle his nerves a little ... and I hand it to him .... Smiling
Let's eat ...

Rosanna was pleased to hear Ele inquire about the food, so happy that her appetite had returned. It looked as though Ele was going to make a full recovery.
Rosanna sat quietly for once and observed the arrival of Amarth. She recalled the impact this man had had on her when they first met and the way Ele had teased her about it. She saw Ele blush as Amarth was placed beside her giggled, nudged Ele and whispered
What ye more pleased to see be it the food or Amarth?

Ele was a little confused about the attention being placed on her regarding Amarth's arrival. She did not understand. Maybe this was something she needed to speak about with Rosanna later on.
I am of course happy to see Amarth but equally happy to see the food! I'm ravenous!, she said smiling at her cousin.
She turned to Amarth, I am sure you are hungry too sir, you have worked hard on your new office from what I have heard.
She turned back to the tray of food spread before her wondering where to start...she reached for a plate of some delicious-looking fruits...

Relieved that Rosanna would be staying at the manor, Meira relaxed a bit. She was enjoying the company of the others and was pleased that nothing would have to change immediately, although she knew that eventually she would have to move to Kirkoswald Castle when Smom took up residence there. Andrew began to fidget, and she wondered if she should call him back into line but decided to let him blow off some steam since he had worked so hard on his letters and no one seemed bothered.
They were soon joined by another man who was obviously well-known to the others, and she heard Elensar make reference to his new office. "Your captain's duties must keep you very busy."

Elensar giggles as Amarth tries to finish the mouthful of fruit in order to answer her brother's question. She looks over at Merks and sees a big smile on his face and a mischievous glint in his eye.
She looks down at her lap in an attempt to stop the giggles taking hold.

Meira looked from Amarth to Squire Merks to Elensar and saw the two siblings were struggling not to laugh, and that the Captain was blushing. "Perhaps there is more going on here than first meets the eye," she thought.

The chattering and laughter around the table had resumed. Grams was fussing over Andrew who had bumped his head under the table.
Elensar caught a glimpse of someone walking over towards them...she turned then smiled and waved. She didn't want to chance getting up so she waited for him to reach the table.

I was pleased that Rosanna would be staying at the monor and I had offered to give her some of my best vegetable seeds and some advice on how to grow them with the least amount of effort ... Hearing El say she was ravinous I motioned to the servent who was standing at the edge of the garden who in turn motioned further down the path which bought forward a small procession bareing trays of food and drink .... I watch as I see El's eyes widen as the food comes closer and is placed on the table ... I give a little chuckle, expecting a glare back from El but it isn't forth comming, I notice everyone looking past me toward the waters edge and waving to someone .. I spin around on my chair and look over my shoulder to see Amarth standing in the distance .... As he approaches I see the colour flush his cheeks and I notice as he speaks with El he seems a little flusted ....With Grams words "The more the marrier" I stand and get another chair and place it next to El and I in turn move mine further down to the corner of the table .... I reach out my hand to shake Amarth's ...
It's always good to see you my friend, How goes the repairs to your office? .... Please, Sit ...
I reach over and pick up a fresh glass for Amarth and pour him some wine .... Thinking ... This may settle his nerves a little ... and I hand it to him .... Smiling
Let's eat ...

Rosanna was pleased to hear Ele inquire about the food, so happy that her appetite had returned. It looked as though Ele was going to make a full recovery.
Rosanna sat quietly for once and observed the arrival of Amarth. She recalled the impact this man had had on her when they first met and the way Ele had teased her about it. She saw Ele blush as Amarth was placed beside her giggled, nudged Ele and whispered
What ye more pleased to see be it the food or Amarth?

Ele was a little confused about the attention being placed on her regarding Amarth's arrival. She did not understand. Maybe this was something she needed to speak about with Rosanna later on.
I am of course happy to see Amarth but equally happy to see the food! I'm ravenous!, she said smiling at her cousin.
She turned to Amarth, I am sure you are hungry too sir, you have worked hard on your new office from what I have heard.
She turned back to the tray of food spread before her wondering where to start...she reached for a plate of some delicious-looking fruits...

I nod toward Grams as I am done with introductions looking for some approval .. then look toward Meira and smile politly ... taking a drink of wine and a bite of salad ...
This is quite good don't you think .... El?
Timing my question just as El takes a bite ... unable to restrain myself I start laughing out loud

Seeing Elen's predicament, Richgrams Speaks.
The food is excellent Merks. I especially like the carrots - picked at just the right size.
Andrew dear, please come try a carrot. You're too old to be under the table with ladies present.

Already in a giggly mood, Elensar finds this extremely funny. She manages to swallow the food without choking before she bursts into fits of laughter.
She tries to take a sip of water to calm herself but it only makes matters worse as the giggling prevents her from swallowing it.

Smiling at Amarth and Elensar as they are introduced, Meira turns her attention to her salad. Richgram's remark catches her off guard, however, and she tries not to burst out laughing. She glances over at Ele and sees her in the same predicament, and this makes it all the more difficult. Shaking with silent laughter, she finally manages to swallow and then wipes away tears of mirth. Andrew, who had climbed back into his chair, sat munching a carrot and watching the adults, not really understanding what was so funny.
Having finally mastered herself, she turned to Ele.
"It's good to see you feeling so much better, Elensar. I know the others were quite worried about you when you were ill."

Still choking slightly Elensar looks at Meira as she speaks to her. She grins, Thank you Meira. I am feeling much better now...I cant really remember much about the last few days though.
She looks to her brother and then to Rosanna...I was well looked after though., she smiles.
I hear you are taking care of the children Meira...I hope they aren't causing you any trouble., she looks over to Andrew and the giggles start again.

Finally containing my fits of laughter to the point where I can talk I nod at Meira's comment ...
I'm sure with your previous experience you should find it relativly easy going
I see Amarth looking totally perplexed at all the laughter and at how quickly it had stopped, say for Ele who seems to be enjoying herself comsiderably. ... I look in Rosanna's and then in Grams direction
Laughter does the soul wonders ... don't you both agree?
At Amarths words I stand and bid him a fond farewell ... Smiling ...
Duty calls of course
With the sun, fresh air and excellent company I can see the color came back to my Sisters faces ... I'm over joyed as I sit back in my chair .. pause with my glass at my lips ... ready for another comment from whom ever ... I take a small sip with caution looking over the rim of my glass ....

Meira nods to Amarth as he takes his leave, then turns back to her meal. It had been so pleasant sitting with the others on this fine afternoon.
She glances up as a servant approaches the table. "I was sent to tell you that the twins have woken up, Meira," the servant says. Meira smiles at the others still eating.
"I suppose I should get back to work, myself, then," she tells the others. "It was a lovely picnic, Squire Merks. Thank you for including me, Lady Richgrams. Rosanna, Elensar, I'm sure I'll see you later." Andrew seems content to remain with Rosanna, so Meira turns and heads back up to the manor to rejoin the twins.

Brother, would it be possible for you to help me to my room? I think I should get some more rest. All this laughing seems to have drained my energy!
She smiles, Thank you for a lovely meal.

When Meira entered the nursery, the kitchen servant was finishing up feeding the twins their dinner. Peas and carrots were everywhere, and the babies were covered in pudding. The servant looked like she’d been through the wringer. She looked at Meira with a relieved expression and scurried from the room with the tray.
Meira called down for hot water, then began wiping up the twins. Once they were done with their bath, she cleaned up the rest of the dinner mess and settled them down to play. The twins were in high spirits after their nap, meal, and bath. Gilly was happy stacking blocks and then knocking them over, until Rohnan crawled over and pulled on her hair before taking some of them. Gilly began to cry, and she rushed over to comfort her. But Rohnan crawled off and found a pea which had escaped the post-dinner clean up, and proceeded to put it up his nose.
“Oh my goodness! Can you do this, Rohnan?” she asks, then begins scrunching up her nose, trying to show him how to blow and hoping no one will choose this moment to visit the nursery.

Rosanna watched the departure of the others and turned to Richgrams and smiled.
What started as a little picnic for 3 turned out to be a garden party.
Milady would you be so kind as to excuse me as I wish to take Andrew around the gardens? I need to look around meself then talk to you about what you would like done here.
Cmon Andrew me lad. Perhaps we could find a spot for ye to make a worm farm. Ye could grow lots of worms and take em to Scotts house to feed the wee owls. Or mebe we could find some mice. They be almost big enough to start eating them.
Rosanna took Andrew by the hand and they wandered around the gardens. They finished up by the wee garden she had started with her medicinal plants. Andrew had fun digging for worms as Rosanna explained to him what were weeds to be pulled and what were plants to be tended.
Andrew as ye learn your letters ye will be able to write these things down for I intend to teach ye what each of these plants be used for.
Finding one of the garden hands she instructed that two bins be made for compost and a smaller one for Andrew to build his worm farm. Going to the kitchen Rosanna instructed that from now on all the kitchen scraps were to be put in the new compost bins once they were made. Andrew gathered up some of the scraps and took them out for his worms. Rosanna put a cover over them explaining that the worms liked the dark.
The worms be also good for the garden Andrew.
The best way for getting a wee lad cleaned up was to go down to the lake and Rosanna watched Andrew as he played near the waters edge.
After a while Rosanna took Andrew back to the manor and sought out Meira to once again take charge of him.

With the sun, fresh air and excellent company I can see the color came back to my Sisters faces ... I'm over joyed as I sit back in my chair .. pause with my glass at my lips ... ready for another comment from whom ever ... I take a small sip with caution looking over the rim of my glass ....

Meira nods to Amarth as he takes his leave, then turns back to her meal. It had been so pleasant sitting with the others on this fine afternoon.
She glances up as a servant approaches the table. "I was sent to tell you that the twins have woken up, Meira," the servant says. Meira smiles at the others still eating.
"I suppose I should get back to work, myself, then," she tells the others. "It was a lovely picnic, Squire Merks. Thank you for including me, Lady Richgrams. Rosanna, Elensar, I'm sure I'll see you later." Andrew seems content to remain with Rosanna, so Meira turns and heads back up to the manor to rejoin the twins.

Elensar begins to grow weary and her eyes begin to shut...
Brother, would it be possible for you to help me to my room? I think I should get some more rest. All this laughing seems to have drained my energy!
She smiles, Thank you for a lovely meal.

When Meira entered the nursery, the kitchen servant was finishing up feeding the twins their dinner. Peas and carrots were everywhere, and the babies were covered in pudding. The servant looked like she’d been through the wringer. She looked at Meira with a relieved expression and scurried from the room with the tray.
Meira called down for hot water, then began wiping up the twins. Once they were done with their bath, she cleaned up the rest of the dinner mess and settled them down to play. The twins were in high spirits after their nap, meal, and bath. Gilly was happy stacking blocks and then knocking them over, until Rohnan crawled over and pulled on her hair before taking some of them. Gilly began to cry, and she rushed over to comfort her. But Rohnan crawled off and found a pea which had escaped the post-dinner clean up, and proceeded to put it up his nose.
“Oh my goodness! Can you do this, Rohnan?” she asks, then begins scrunching up her nose, trying to show him how to blow and hoping no one will choose this moment to visit the nursery.

Rosanna watched the departure of the others and turned to Richgrams and smiled.
What started as a little picnic for 3 turned out to be a garden party.
Milady would you be so kind as to excuse me as I wish to take Andrew around the gardens? I need to look around meself then talk to you about what you would like done here.
Cmon Andrew me lad. Perhaps we could find a spot for ye to make a worm farm. Ye could grow lots of worms and take em to Scotts house to feed the wee owls. Or mebe we could find some mice. They be almost big enough to start eating them.
Rosanna took Andrew by the hand and they wandered around the gardens. They finished up by the wee garden she had started with her medicinal plants. Andrew had fun digging for worms as Rosanna explained to him what were weeds to be pulled and what were plants to be tended.
Andrew as ye learn your letters ye will be able to write these things down for I intend to teach ye what each of these plants be used for.
Finding one of the garden hands she instructed that two bins be made for compost and a smaller one for Andrew to build his worm farm. Going to the kitchen Rosanna instructed that from now on all the kitchen scraps were to be put in the new compost bins once they were made. Andrew gathered up some of the scraps and took them out for his worms. Rosanna put a cover over them explaining that the worms liked the dark.
The worms be also good for the garden Andrew.
The best way for getting a wee lad cleaned up was to go down to the lake and Rosanna watched Andrew as he played near the waters edge.
After a while Rosanna took Andrew back to the manor and sought out Meira to once again take charge of him.

Molly after gathering her composure and checking she had not forgotten to pack anything, had her possessions placed in the wagon ready for her journey.
She took one last look at her room, before leaving and closing the door. As she came to Richgrams room, she knocked and for the first time in along time she waited to be invited inside

Come in. Molly! I was so hoping to see you before you leave.
The manor will not be the same without you. You will be missed.
I'm already planning a trip to come visit you.
Do you have time for some tea?

Thank you Richgrams, I could never leave without seeing you.
Thank you so much for all of your help and support and for sharing your wisdom with me.
Smom and youself are my closest friends no you are as much family to me as my Sister and cousins. You will always be welcome in my home.
Molly sat with Richgrams drinking her tea. She felt sadness as she would miss the Manor and all the people, after all it was the experiances she had here that had made her the person she was.

Leaving Ele's room I walk down the stair case without a sound and out the door into the late afternoon sun, Putting my hand up to shade my eyes I look around me and smile ... what a great day this was ... I walk around to the back of the manor to the guest house and untether the horse ... take her to the stables and give her a drink .... patting her on her mussel ...
Lets take the long way back to Kirksowald castle, what do you say .. hmmm?
We walk to the main gates and nod at the guard who see's me comming up the path ... I pass through the gates and mount up,,, only the sound of creaking leather breaks the silence ... I sit tall in the saddle and give a little kick to her withers and we trot down the tree lined road and pass the lake ... the air is fresh with the smell of spring flowers and wet grass .... grouse move amoung the tall grass chasing insects, birds fly from tree to tree and the world seems to move at a much slower pace ... the sun slowly sinks past the herizon as the clouds over head turn thier shades of red .... sign of a spring rain is comming ....

I will miss you terribly, but you have my permission to go.
I was born in a fishing town, so I know how much fun you will have.
You three must remember to mind your manners, and no drinking too much.
I'll not have the girls of Morgan Manor getting a bad reputation in our neighboring towns.
With that, Richgrams gives Rosanna a big hug and goes back to reading her book.

As evening fell on the town of Penrtih whisper listened the noise of the town’s folk going about their humdrum lives, settling into warm and familiar routines. Whisper let the sounds wash over him like the warm evening sun. He breathed deeply and opened his eyes.
His time in the town had been interesting to say the least yet now he was longing to return to the solitude of his hut in Kirkswold Forest. Looking at the manor in the distance Whisper wearily trudged his way across the fields. Hopefully the Morgan’s would be home and he could finally meet his new employer.
As he walked, a smile crossed Whisper’s worn face as he remembered the day’s events. Walking through the town he had seen something gleaming in the dust and grime, kneeling down whisper picked up a small nugget of gleaming rock...
"This is unexpected, Pyrite..." dimly whisper recalled this was a rock derived from the devil stone of brimstone. Whisper pocketed the rock "this should be fun".
Whispers smile turned to a grin as he remembered how easy it had been, the look in the merchants eyes when whisper had told him how "by the river; he had found a small nugget of gold." the vacant look perfected, he told the merchant how he hoped it was enough for a beer... Ha the merchant had offered him a mere £5 pounds for the 'gold' and even advised him to tell no one of the deal... no doubt so he could get far away before anyone told whisper the true value of a nugget of gold.
Well the joke was on him how that merchant would swear when he tired to sell that worthless lump of rock to a money changer... "£5 from under a rock, a gift from Jah indeed"
A shadow crossed his face, perhaps that was foolish word of the deceit would eventually get around, perhaps even to them. Another face that Whisper will have to watch for.
Whispers reverie broke as he reached the side door of the Morgan Manner.
Quietly whisper entered the property. The servants were in disarray, he was not questioned as he made his way through the kitchen until he reached the dining hall.
A Loud voice cut through whispers thoughts "You there, who are you and what are you doing here!"
With out turning whisper spoke quietly "I’m here to see the Lady Morgan, I have no appointment."
The voice replied in a softer tone. "I’m sorry Sir the head house keeper has recently moved, wait here and i will fetch someone to help you."

Another annoying knock on Richgrams door - she wondered what the latest crisis was.
With Molly, Elen, Meira, and Rosanna all gone at once, the remaining staff was far less capable than usual.
Richgrams would watch carefully for a new leader to emerge, a worker who could bring order to things.
Come in.
She was told that there was a man downstairs wanting to see her.
Take him to the parlor. I will be there shortly. And please see to it that tea and cakes are brought to us.
Thank goodness she will be taking the twins to Smom today. She could handle Andrew, but all three was a bit much.

Whisper waited for what seemed an age. slowly he walked around the hall looking at the tapsetry on the walls,
"This is fine work, Italian if I'm not mistaken... this is far from home!"
the door creaked and a serving girl entered, young she could have seen no more than 12 winters. Looking directly at whisper the girl spoke. The voice Whisper recongised as the Soft voice from ealier.
"Please the Lady will see you in the Palour Sir. This way if you would care to follow."
And So he did.. Whisper closed his eyes following her voice footsteps and breathing, counting his own foot falls and turns.
finally she stopped and whisper opened his eyes. The parlour war rustic yet had a beauty of its own. A large unvarnished oak table dominated the room. It was laid with seed cake and plates and cups for two.
Clearly this was ment as a meeting of some kind. Whisper took the smaller of the two chairs out of deferance, smelt the steaming brew (hummm herbal tea) and slowly turn the cake stand until the handle of the large knife was closest to him..
"better safe than sorry" he thought thowing dark glances around the room....
That servant had already dissapeared deep into the manor, Whisper was alone.
The turned when he finally heard the handle of the door rattle, and rose from his seat...

As Richgrams entered the room, she noticed much about the stranger before her,
but it was his intense blue eyes that held her attention.
I don't believe we have met. I'm Lady Richgrams. What brings you to my home?
I only have time for a quick tea, as I'm leaving for Kirkoswald Castle shortly.
The servant who ushered Richgrams in, now poured the tea and offered to cut the cake.

Whisper stands as a lady in an elegant dress enters the room.
She motions me to sit as the young serving girl pours the tea and cuts the cake. Whispers eyes never leave the knife the girl is using to cut the cake.
The lady speaks up:
"I don't believe we have met. I'm Lady Richgrams. What brings you to my home?
I only have time for a quick tea, as I'm leaving for Kirkoswald Castle shortly. "
Whispers mind whirls what is this, this is not the girl who offend him the job and the hut when he fled here, has he been duped?
"My lady you are not the person I am expecting. My name is whisper; I have been working as the Head Gamekeeper to the Morgan estates. I have been living in Kirkoswold forest managing the game runs there."
Whisper thinks had about asking her the question burning in his mind...
"My lady are you the Lady Morgan? If so may I have your permission to inspect the game runs here?"
Whisper pauses should he do it. Throwing caution to the wind he plunges on.
"My lady I believe there is some confusion, or perhaps a cruel and unusual trick, but you are not the lady I seek; you are not my employer. The lady I met in the local tavern who offered me employment and a place to live. What is going on?"

Calm down, my dear sir. There is no trick.
No doubt you were hired by my daughter, Smom Morgan, Lady of Kirkoswald Castle.
I am Richgrams Morgan, Lady of Morgan Manor.
Feel free to inspect these lands, but they aren't nearly as vast as those at the Castle.
I will be leaving shortly for the Castle. If you wish to see Smom Morgan,
you may accompany my party on the short trip.
Richgrams noticed that his eyes never left the knife,
and there was an almost imperceivable sigh when it was put down.
Here sits a troubled soul she thought, delighted that Smom had given him a job and home.

Whisper nods slowly as the Lady of Morgan Manor speaks..
‘So she is the mother’ whisper thinks and with a silent chuckle adds ‘the years have been kind to her indeed.’
Whisper inclines his head to her a slight but noticeable bow. “Milady I thank you for settling my mind, and thank you for your permission to inspection your grounds. I will see to them presently.”
Whisper looks up the time is late but perhaps there will be enough time.
“It is with sincere regret that I must decline you invitation to travel with you. I must see to your ground before I leave and as this is my first visit here I cannot be sure how long that will take.
Thank you for your audience but I must attend the runs now. Please do not trouble yourself; I already know my way out”
With those parting words Whisper stands and bows slightly and turns upon his heel.
Quickly he retraces his steps threading his way through the manor until he reaches the gardens. There relaxing absorbing the last rays of the evening sun he replays the meeting in his mind. ‘Well that could have gone better,’ he silently chides himself for his sloppy work… In his younger days I would already know the full layout of the house, as well as the names of the most influential servants. Ah well onto the grounds.
Lady Richgrams had not lied whisper was pleased to see the estate here was much smaller, nothing more than a few gardens, and a small copses. Well it seemed there was rabbit a plenty and the little wood could soon be stocked with birdlife.
Whisper smiled as he thought of the poor gardener trying to deal with the rabbits.. Perhaps he should lay a few snares. It would at least give those in the manor something to cook.

Thank goodness she will be taking the twins to Smom today. She could handle Andrew, but all three was a bit much.

Whisper waited for what seemed an age. slowly he walked around the hall looking at the tapsetry on the walls,
"This is fine work, Italian if I'm not mistaken... this is far from home!"
the door creaked and a serving girl entered, young she could have seen no more than 12 winters. Looking directly at whisper the girl spoke. The voice Whisper recongised as the Soft voice from ealier.
"Please the Lady will see you in the Palour Sir. This way if you would care to follow."
And So he did.. Whisper closed his eyes following her voice footsteps and breathing, counting his own foot falls and turns.
finally she stopped and whisper opened his eyes. The parlour war rustic yet had a beauty of its own. A large unvarnished oak table dominated the room. It was laid with seed cake and plates and cups for two.
Clearly this was ment as a meeting of some kind. Whisper took the smaller of the two chairs out of deferance, smelt the steaming brew (hummm herbal tea) and slowly turn the cake stand until the handle of the large knife was closest to him..
"better safe than sorry" he thought thowing dark glances around the room....
That servant had already dissapeared deep into the manor, Whisper was alone.
The turned when he finally heard the handle of the door rattle, and rose from his seat...

As Richgrams entered the room, she noticed much about the stranger before her,
but it was his intense blue eyes that held her attention.
I don't believe we have met. I'm Lady Richgrams. What brings you to my home?
I only have time for a quick tea, as I'm leaving for Kirkoswald Castle shortly.
The servant who ushered Richgrams in, now poured the tea and offered to cut the cake.

Whisper stands as a lady in an elegant dress enters the room.
She motions me to sit as the young serving girl pours the tea and cuts the cake. Whispers eyes never leave the knife the girl is using to cut the cake.
The lady speaks up:
"I don't believe we have met. I'm Lady Richgrams. What brings you to my home?
I only have time for a quick tea, as I'm leaving for Kirkoswald Castle shortly. "
Whispers mind whirls what is this, this is not the girl who offend him the job and the hut when he fled here, has he been duped?
"My lady you are not the person I am expecting. My name is whisper; I have been working as the Head Gamekeeper to the Morgan estates. I have been living in Kirkoswold forest managing the game runs there."
Whisper thinks had about asking her the question burning in his mind...
"My lady are you the Lady Morgan? If so may I have your permission to inspect the game runs here?"
Whisper pauses should he do it. Throwing caution to the wind he plunges on.
"My lady I believe there is some confusion, or perhaps a cruel and unusual trick, but you are not the lady I seek; you are not my employer. The lady I met in the local tavern who offered me employment and a place to live. What is going on?"

Calm down, my dear sir. There is no trick.
No doubt you were hired by my daughter, Smom Morgan, Lady of Kirkoswald Castle.
I am Richgrams Morgan, Lady of Morgan Manor.
Feel free to inspect these lands, but they aren't nearly as vast as those at the Castle.
I will be leaving shortly for the Castle. If you wish to see Smom Morgan,
you may accompany my party on the short trip.
Richgrams noticed that his eyes never left the knife,
and there was an almost imperceivable sigh when it was put down.
Here sits a troubled soul she thought, delighted that Smom had given him a job and home.

Whisper nods slowly as the Lady of Morgan Manor speaks..
‘So she is the mother’ whisper thinks and with a silent chuckle adds ‘the years have been kind to her indeed.’
Whisper inclines his head to her a slight but noticeable bow. “Milady I thank you for settling my mind, and thank you for your permission to inspection your grounds. I will see to them presently.”
Whisper looks up the time is late but perhaps there will be enough time.
“It is with sincere regret that I must decline you invitation to travel with you. I must see to your ground before I leave and as this is my first visit here I cannot be sure how long that will take.
Thank you for your audience but I must attend the runs now. Please do not trouble yourself; I already know my way out”
With those parting words Whisper stands and bows slightly and turns upon his heel.
Quickly he retraces his steps threading his way through the manor until he reaches the gardens. There relaxing absorbing the last rays of the evening sun he replays the meeting in his mind. ‘Well that could have gone better,’ he silently chides himself for his sloppy work… In his younger days I would already know the full layout of the house, as well as the names of the most influential servants. Ah well onto the grounds.
Lady Richgrams had not lied whisper was pleased to see the estate here was much smaller, nothing more than a few gardens, and a small copses. Well it seemed there was rabbit a plenty and the little wood could soon be stocked with birdlife.
Whisper smiled as he thought of the poor gardener trying to deal with the rabbits.. Perhaps he should lay a few snares. It would at least give those in the manor something to cook.

A letter arrived at the Manor by messenger:
Quote:
Dear Lady Richgrams,
I hope this letter finds you well.
We have now arrived in Egremont and intend to spend much of our time here fishing. It is a lovely town with beautiful views. I think we are all going to like it here.
Yesterday we stopped over in Keswick, another lovely town. I briefly met the new mayor in a tavern. She seems very nice.
I have not seen much of the others since our arrival. I'm sure we will meet up soon to discuss our trip.
Regards to you and all who we know in Penrith,
Ele

Elen's letter arrived just as Richgrams was checking her room to see that she hadn't forgotten anything.
A smile crossed her face as she read it, but there was no time for an answer.
The carriage was waiting. It was time to go.
Two servant girls would help with handing her the twins, once Richgrams was in the carriage.
Finish up Andrew, it's time to go downstairs. The owls will miss you too, but will be taken good care of while we're gone.
That's a good lad. Would you hold my hand going down the stairs?
Once outside, Richgrams notices Whisper coming down the path.
Yoohoo, Whisper! Hurry and you can ride with us. Smom would like you at the Castle, I'm sure.
With the twins safely inside, they were off.

Whisper was walking down the path on the way back to Kirkoswold Castle.
Deep in thought Whisper only subconciously heard the crunch of of the choach wheels behind him. Instictivly he whirled anround recaching to the small of his back, feeling the reasuing weight ot the item concealed there...
..... and then whispers mind connected! What assasins wacry had ever been Yooohooo Relaxing whisper walked towrds the the carridge. He could See the lady of Morgan manor leaning out of the cart window. Struggling to contain his laughter whisper Spoke.
"m'lady may i accompany to Kirkoswold castle. I would dearly love to meet lady Smom I would like to keep her upto date on the delepoments of the stock."

A courier delivered a letter to Richgrams
Quote:
Dear Richgrams,
I am sorry that I have not written you sooner, I went to sleep and woke up in Ireland in a town called Ros O'g Cairbre a quaint fishing village on the South Coast.
I am well and am among friends. Caissadiplomat and Solumn are here so I am not alone.
Caissa has made me his Bartender in his Casino. So I am meeting many new people.
I hope that soon you will be able to come visit me, the fishing is good and I have a nice home overlooking the ocean. You all are most welcome to stay as long as you wish.
I miss you, please pass on my love and best wishes to everyone.
Kindest regards and my love,
Molly

Dear Lady Richgrams,
I do hope you received my last letter and that you are in good health.
Our trip has gone well but unfortunately our return has been delayed by unforeseen events, there is nothing to worry about though.
We will be leaving Egremont for our return journey tomorrow. We will be back in Penrith after a brief stop in Keswick. I am certainly looking forward to returning as I am home-sick and not used to travelling. Although, I have very much enjoyed myself.
I look forward to seeing you on our return.
Warmest regards,
Ele

The carriages arrive at Morgan Manor, and although we are happy to be home, there is no celebrating.
Each one goes to check on their responsibilites.
The plan is to meet for tea later.
Back in her room, Richgram's tears flow freely. Another family member lost.
Why would Yah choose to take one so young and vibrant, while leaving her behind to mourn?
Life just isn't fair. She will have to stay strong for the others, she knows.

Meira went into her room for a moment and splashed some cold water on her face. The shocking events at the party, first the news of the attack and then the tragic death of Miniphoenix, had left her feeling drained. That poor little boy, she thought, thinking of little Daniel.
Feeling a bit more composed, she left her room and walked downstairs. She passed several servants scurrying around who were obviously trying to catch up on neglected chores. She made her way to the kitchens, wondering if Elensar and Rosanna, as well as Andrew, were there.

having had bought Ele home to the Manor, Sharing a horse I throw my leg forward over the horses head and slide down off the saddle and reach up to help my Sister down ... she smiles down at me as she slides down.
That was an interesting party to say the least, would'nt you agree?
We walk up to the main doors of the manor and are greated by a gentleman who reaconized Ele and ushered us in, looking around the main hall I admire the fine furniture and paintings .... I follow Ele as we make our way through the home ... We come across Meira as we make our way to the kitchen.
Hello Meira, I'm glad you made it here safely, I take it Lady Morgan is here also? ....

Standing outside the kitchen door, she smiled in relief at seeing Elensar and Merks. Travelling by carriage and with a guard was unsettling enough given the current atmosphere, but to travel alone on horseback?
"I'm glad you both made it back safely as well. Yes, Lady Morgan is resting at the moment, but a quiet tea is planned for a bit later. Will you be joining us, Merks?"

Rosanna goes up to her room and looks around. She is pleased to be back. The whole trip has been so frightening and exciting. While on the road she has been doing a great deal of thinking. She decides to wait for grams to recover from everything and then talk to her.
On going downstairs she sees Meira, Ele and Merks and hugs them all.

I see Rosanna walking toward us and I smile
Meira that would be great, I would enjoy it very much to have dinner here if it's no inconvience
I watch as Rosanna hugs Ele, Maira and a little supprised when she hugs me
It's good that you all made it back safely ... with all that's happened even I was a little nervious and thats a rare feeling for me.

Ele hugs her family and friends, glad to be back home.
What an eventful time we've had recently..., she said
Smiling at the others she says, Would you all like me to organise something to eat? I'm sure Evangeline has kept everything ticking over in the kitchen.
She skipped off to the kitchen with Ernie under her arm, pleased she had found him wading in amongst the reeds before they left Kirksowald Castle.

Meira hugged Rosanna and Ele, thinking how good it was to be safely home and amongst such good friends. It had been too long.
"Of course it's no inconvenience; we'll just lay another plate on the table," she told Merks. As Ele went into the kitchen, Meira felt her stomach rumble a little.
"I wonder what Evangeline has been cooking?"

Ele grins as she returns from the kitchen followed by a procession of servants.
Evangeline has been very busy and prepared us this feast!
The platters were over-flowing with delicious looking food; herb poached salmon, fresh vegetables, cheese and onion tartlets, bread hollowed out and filled with hot soup and a sizable beef and ale pie.
The servants placed all the food on the table.
Well, this will get us started!, Ele chuckled

Expecting to go downstairs to meet with the others for tea, Richgrams is
surprised by the wonderful smells in the air.
She stops halfway down the stairs, closes her eyes and sniffs.
That smells like rosemary - that's onion - beef!
She hurries down the rest of the way and finds the table full of food and surrounded by friends.
Weren't planning on eating without me, were you?
I'll give up the tea anytime for a feast such as this.

Meira looks up as she hears Richgram's voice. "Oh, I was just about to come upstairs and ask if you were ready to eat!" She looks at the table laden with food and smiles.
"Well, it's a bit more than just a tea, but who would have thought Ele and Evangeline could whip up all this on such short notice?"

Ele smiles as Grams joins the table. She tucks into her food, not realising how hungry she had been. She glances at Merks and slows down not wanting more jibes about how much she eats.
She hears a little flap, flap noise coming towards her on the floor and ducks her head under the table...
Ernie! There you are little one..., she pats him on the head and he gives an appreciative little honk.
Ele sits upright again and sprinkles a few crumbs to the floor where the gosling gobbles them up then sits at her feet, waggles his tail and tucks his beak in under his wing.

Rosanna was really happy to be back in Penrith. She had been very homesick while she was away. However, all the events had taken their toll. She looked around the table. The trip away had brought them all so much closer together, the family that she had never before had. They had all missed Richgrams while they were away and it was lovely that she treated them all like family rather than staff.
Rosanna picked at the food before her trying to make an effort for the sake of Ele. Her thoughts wandered. She longed to go to the woods and kick off her shoes. To wade in the lake. To just listen to the birds. To get out into the garden and set things to rights. She felt restless.
She decided that after the meal she would seek out Andrew and take him for a walk. With Andrew she had the excuse to stop trying to play the lady. She sat quietly and listened to the happy chatter that was going on.

I pull me empty cart up to the gate at Morgan Manor and nod to the guard.... He welcomes me back and after a pat on me back, he tells me of Mini.......
I have to catch me breath.... I close me eyes and remember the help she had given me and the teaching she gave....... I know of the dangers of this world, but there be always place in my heart fer her..... least the memories will all be good ones.....
I open me eyes and nod to the guard and he opens the gate and I pull me cart up to the Manor and over by the corner, so I may enter through the kitchen to get me owlets....
But I think..... I may be here longer.... to help me friends..... And give them any comfort that I may be able too.....
I breath deeply and head fer the kitchen door and knock softly, then wait fer an answer....

Rosanna hears the tap on the door and shakes her head to clear it of her thoughts. The others are still all talking and laughing so she slips from the table and opens the door.

Me heart skips a beat...... then feels like it stops...... then seems to find it's way to me throat....

Thank ye sweet Rosanna.... I hug her and give her the slightest kiss upon her cheek....
Iz come fer me Owlets, but Iz really need to speak with ye..... Iz..... I stammer and look at the floor....
Iz sorry Rosanna..... Iz so, so, sorry..... Iz lost me head with what Iz wanted, without thinkin' it through...... Ye 'ave me 'eart.... and always will, but..... I sigh heavily...... Iz want ye, but Iz can't..... at this time..... Iz 'ave to much of me past that Iz still need to face and figure out.... And Iz made meself a promise with me mum......
Iz promised 'er and meself, that iz not take a wife to live in squaller....
I can see Rosanna's hurt and know what she be thinking......
Iz know ye would give up all this finery fer me.... and it makes me heart shine just knowin' that..... but Iz could not live with meself..... If I took ye from that.... Ye 'ave a fine place 'ere, with Grams.....
Iz might be askin' to much, but please wait.... let me get me own life straight and make somethin' of meself..... Ye know me..... Iz will not stop until Iz get there..... I stop, out of breath....
Just know, me heart is yours..... but Iz understand if ye can't wait..... Ye be to pretty to just sit back and wait fer the likes of me..... I take her hand and kiss it......
Iz guess Iz need to find Grams or Andrew now.... Ye be welcome anytime at me 'ome.... and ye be the truest friend Iz got...... I smile as I feel me heart be aching..... I draw a deep breath and finally ask.... Where may Iz be findin' Grams or Andrew?...

Rosanna listens with heavy heart as Scott speaks then sadly smiles.
Be not worried Scott. I too have had me doubts. Twas carried away by the travelling and being away from home. I be young enough yet and feel I need to settle more into the life of Penrith before I be wed. I love ye as ye be the first real friend I made here. But I be in no hurry to be wed.
Rosanna gives Scott a hug.
Come join us at the table.

Richgrams leans over to speak to Meira, who is sitting beside her.
As you know, Mini's funeral will be tomorrow. My son Caissa is here from Ireland,
and may visit here before returning home. Please see to it that a room is prepared, just in case.
I need you to accompany me to Kirkoswald Chapel. Please arrange for the carriage to get us there on time.
Standing up to get their attention, Richgrams tells the others:
Morgan Manor is in mourning for my grand daughter MiniPhoenix,
please act accordingly when greeting visitors. See that the rest of the staff is informed as well. I bid you good night.

Meira listened to her instructions from Grams, and then watched as she headed back to the stairs to retire for the evening. The others were finishing up their meal as well, now joined by Scott, and the kitchen servants came in to clear up the dishes. She noticed that while some were wearing mourning armbands over their livery, others were not. Since Ele was in charge of the kitchens, she’d likely know where such things were kept. She turned to Elensar.
“Ele, are there any extra mourning bands in the napery? We should probably hand some out to those who don’t have them yet.”
A room for Caissa was more easily arranged, since a large room just down from Richgram’s was available. She asked one of the servants to air it and make sure that the linens were fresh. That task finished, she turned to Merks.
“Grams will be needing the carriage tomorrow evening to attend the funeral at Kirkoswald Chapel at eight o’ the clock. Could you please see that it is ready for her?” She thanked him and then went to help Ele and Rosanna, and get an armband for herself. There was certainly much to be done to prepare for the morrow.

Rosanna watched the carriage leaving then went to find Andrew.
Cmon Andrew let's get stuck into the gardens and get them looking nice for when MiLady returns.
Rosanna instructed the staff to trim the trees and start weeding the gardens. With Andrews help she selected some flowers and made some flower arrangements indoors.
We must change the flowers every 3 or 4 days Andrew.
Andrew made his own flower arrangement and they placed it in Richgrams room.
Rosanna and Andrew then went to check to make sure everything outside was being done to satisfaction.
Rosanna instucted that a new garden be dug near the kitchen. She then went to check on her herbs. Andrew chatted happily as he helped to water.
They washed their hands at the pump then went inside for something to eat.

Ele was in the kitchen when Rosanna and Andrew entered. She smiled at them and pointed towards the freshly made cinnamon buns. Andrew grins then runs over and grabs a bun.
Ele pulls up a seat for Rosanna then one for herself.
Rosanna, you look a bit...pensive. Are you ok?
Ele passes a bun to Rosanna and pours her a drink of water.

Aye Ele. I been fine. Just so much has happened in the last few months. Finding Molly,the fight, Molly moving, our trip away, me engagement, the business in Keswick and then here when we returned, Scott breaking the engagement and now Mini.
I dinna know her well. Just met her a few times and she were the sort of person ye just love when you meet her. I be worried about MiLady too tis a hard burden for her.
Rosanna smiles at Andrew.
But this wee lad and I are going to surprise her with flowers. Andrew has put his own arrangement in her room.
Rosanna pulled Ele to the side and giggled.
Half of them were weeds Ele. I dinna have the heart to tell him. I will teach him in time I'm sure it will make MiLady smile.

Aye I walk along the trails that leads to the Manor... as the Manor comes to my view...I catch my breath as I see the beauty of the Manor and me wonders who lives in this absolutely fine home.
I walk up to the steps and taps on the door gently and waits for an anwser....

Expecting to go downstairs to meet with the others for tea, Richgrams is
surprised by the wonderful smells in the air.
She stops halfway down the stairs, closes her eyes and sniffs.
That smells like rosemary - that's onion - beef!
She hurries down the rest of the way and finds the table full of food and surrounded by friends.
Weren't planning on eating without me, were you?
I'll give up the tea anytime for a feast such as this.

Meira looks up as she hears Richgram's voice. "Oh, I was just about to come upstairs and ask if you were ready to eat!" She looks at the table laden with food and smiles.
"Well, it's a bit more than just a tea, but who would have thought Ele and Evangeline could whip up all this on such short notice?"
