Queen of Windstorm
is in the Great Hall, and say to Lord Cailin Kingdom of Caernarfon: *glancing around, she smoothed her skirts for a moment, even though there nae were any creases.

Queen of Windstorm
is in the Great Hall, and say to Lord Cailin Kingdom of Caernarfon: *She nodded and looked at Alys for a moment* This might be a conversation we best conduct in private, yet I can assure ye of Lady Alys' safety within the walls. *she looked at ye, for this one moment asking iffen ye were in agreement with such*

Lord Cailin
Kingdom of Caernarfon, CC

Edfeil Stormblade de Ruoma
Queen of Windstorm
is in the Great Hall, and say to Lord Cailin Kingdom of Caernarfon: *She nodded, then stood from her chair and with a small gesture of her hand invited ye to move before her to the stairs* Windstorm has a library, M'lord... we boast 17 books and even more scrolls... I doubt we will be disturbed there. And Sergeant Lan will inform us immediately iffen ought goes awry within the hall.

Queen of Windstorm
is in the Library, and says to Lord Cailin Kingdom of Caernarfon: *She indicated the way to the first floor, one of the rooms above the hall had been arranged so the light could fall in it easily during day time. Now at night, a scant torch before the door was the only light. The room rarely was used this late in the day. yet she indicated for ye to take the torch and go ahead* There should be kindling ready in the hearth.. enough for a wee fire for us to see what we speak, aye? *she offered politely*

Lord Cailin
Kingdom of Caernarfon, CC
is in the Great Hall, and say to Edfeil Stormblade de Ruom: nods and smiles as I lift the torch out of it's holder and make my way into the room, quickly moving to the hearth, using the torch to light the kindling, watching as it catches quickly, then plac'n a few better sized logs upon it, watch'n as the flames lick around them, then quickly plac'n the torch in a holder as I turn to face you.
(20:42:23)
Edfeil Stormblade de Ruoma
Queen of Windstorm
is in the Library, and says to Lord Cailin Kingdom of Caernarfon: *She sat, and once more smoothed her skirts. The golden light seemed to illuminate the heavy embroidery on her gown. In the half dark the flames teased new sparks out of the heavy gems in the small cap she wore. She looked different, more stern mayhap and more majestic, although her smile remained kindly as she moved a hand in an invitation for ye to take place in the chair in front of her.*
(20:43:51)
Lord Cailin
Kingdom of Caernarfon, CC
is in the Great Hall, and say to Edfeil Stormblade de Ruom: glanc'n at the hearth once more to make sure the fire would burn without further help from me, I quickly walk o'er at seat M'self in the chair that faces you, smil'n as I do.

Edfeil Stormblade de Ruoma
Queen of Windstorm
is in the Library, and says to Lord Cailin Kingdom of Caernarfon: *her hands folded in her lap she looked at ye directly, something that would amaze many, yet she had prepared for this conversation for some time. Mayhap she nae was born to have 't, but someone needed to.* We have known each other more than a year now, M'lord. Near two I believe. And I have known Princess Alys for much longer than such. I hope ye will grant me the permission to speak freely. In fact... I be intending to do such.
(20:49:08)
Lord Cailin
Kingdom of Caernarfon, CC
is in the Great Hall, and say to Edfeil Stormblade de Ruom: listens to you intently as I smile a bit.... yes Majesty, I have had that pleasure of know'n you for that time period, and please do speak freely. O'er the last month or so I know you have wanted to speak with me, so I shall answer you with all honesty.... swallows a lil and smiles.
(20:53:19)
Edfeil Stormblade de Ruoma
Queen of Windstorm
is in the Library, and says to Lord Cailin Kingdom of Caernarfon: The lady Alys, ye have been her protector for several months. Normally I would nae ask further questions. Ye be a guest in this house and therefor the rules of hospitality forbid me to ask ye any. Yet... I have decided to set such aside since it seems none others would ask these questions of ye. I know ye as a man of honor. And iffen I know people well, ye would nae easily forget or forgo duty. Yet aside from duty and the bond that a constant companionship forms, is there an affection between ye and Princess Alys?

Lord Cailin
Kingdom of Caernarfon, CC
is in the Library, and says to Edfeil Stormblade de Ruom: feels my heart beat quicken as I listen to your words, then hearing your question about an affection between Alys and I, I quickly feel my cheeks burn a lil and I glance down, only to look back up quickly as I speak.... Your Majesty, since Alys and I were caught outside of the protection of the walls when the orc's attacked, and we managed to find our way back without harm, aye, I have taken a personal responsibility to watch o'er her.... then swallowing a lil as I continue.. aye Majesty, we have found that we do enjoy each other's company very much...... smil'n as I say that.
(21:03:20)
Edfeil Stormblade de Ruoma
Queen of Windstorm
is in the Library, and says to Lord Cailin Kingdom of Caernarfon: *She remained without motion aside from the calm and quiet nod. She was going to prod into things that some would say were nae her business. She would ask questions that those of a different way would think nae mattered. Yet she was of the olden ways and somehow she had started to feel responsible for Alys, especially after her elders passing. She felt almost like a godmother though the difference in age was nae that great* It should be the princess father who asks these questions of ye, M'lord. *and then for the first time a smile lightened her features again for a moment* Mayhap ye should be grateful it be but me instead. Ye have family still? A heritage? Ye hail from?
(21:07:16)
Lord Cailin
Kingdom of Caernarfon, CC
is in the Library, and says to Edfeil Stormblade de Ruom: can't help but smile when I hear you speak of who should be ask'n these questions, and is truly grateful it tis you..... Your Majesty, I do have a brother, although it has been many years since I've seen him, My parents are long gone, tis why I have traveled so much in the past, but have fallen for........ pauses a long moment....... the Kingdom of Dragonwyck, tis a lovely place.... smiles.
(21:09:01)
Edfeil Stormblade de Ruoma
Queen of Windstorm
is in the Library, and says to Lord Cailin Kingdom of Caernarfon: *She made the sign of the cross when ye spoke of yer parents* Yer brother.. he be tending yer parents keep then? He be a tradesman? Forgive me for the question but yer title be it.. bestowed or inherited?
(21:13:33)
Lord Cailin
Kingdom of Caernarfon, CC
is in the Library, and says to Edfeil Stormblade de Ruom: smiles..... aye, he is still about our home in England, and my title be inherited, for my father was Lord of the lands where we resided, just outside of the town Buckingham.
(21:16:20)
Edfeil Stormblade de Ruoma
Queen of Windstorm
is in the Library, and says to Lord Cailin Kingdom of Caernarfon: *She nodded satisfied. To some it was nae important anymore, yet a similar lineage often equalled a similar sense of responsibilities* I hope and pray yer brother be wed with many strapping sons.. *she added in a most heartfelt wish, knowing from experience how much easier things were when the succession was assured and nae some thing to worry of* which leaves ye free to pledge yer duty somewhere else and yer affection. It be a good situation when ye nae be bound somewhere else. Considering.. *she looked at her hands* Ye know that Princess Alys be next in line for the throne, aye? I had asked her after first I met ye to speak with ye of such. It seemed but fair to do so early on.
(21:18:42)
Lord Cailin
Kingdom of Caernarfon, CC
is in the Library, and says to Edfeil Stormblade de Ruom: looks at you as you speak.... aye Majesty, she did mention that to me some time ago, but of course she is hop'n that that time is well off to the future..... smiles
(21:20:57)
Edfeil Stormblade de Ruoma
Queen of Windstorm
is in the Library, and says to Lord Cailin Kingdom of Caernarfon: Of course.. *she admitted briskly* We all hope that such be a long time away. But it be a time that will be upon her soon. And thus upon ye too iffen ye still be in her life in the future. That be yer intention? *it was almost a sharp question, and her eyes remained upon yer face. The strong questioning was foreign to her and she had steeled herself for weeks, but she owed it to Alys. It was said that a match iffen it had her approval would be a strong one. It was said that those who knew and failed to present their intended to her.. oft were unlucky in their choice. Many a things were said, though few of them would be confirmed by her own lips*
(21:23:07)
Lord Cailin
Kingdom of Caernarfon, CC
is in the Library, and says to Edfeil Stormblade de Ruom: feels my cheeks redden again as I hear your question and see you still look'n upon me...... Your Majesty, if I may speak freely as well?
(21:24:55)
Edfeil Stormblade de Ruoma
Queen of Windstorm
is in the Library, and says to Lord Cailin Kingdom of Caernarfon: I would ask ye to do so, M'lord, aye. *her own lashes lower for a moment, veiling her gaze as she noticed the heightened hue in yer cheeks. It nae was her goal to discontent ye, yet she knew it would be a consequence most likely of her frankness, a frankness to which she was nae accustomed. This was why the Good Lord had made these conversations the providence of men, she was certain*
(21:28:00)
Lord Cailin
Kingdom of Caernarfon, CC
is in the Library, and says to Edfeil Stormblade de Ruom: lifts my shoulders and eyes as I look at you while a soft smile crosses M'lips..... Your Majesty, it is indeed my intentions to stay in Alys's life, I feel we have a very strong bond between us, and...... pausing for a moment, knowing you said to speak freely, but is still a lil shy....... Your majesty, I have fallen in love with Alys, and as long as she will have me about, I intend to not only protect her, but to always be with her........ looking at you quickly and hoping I nay over spoke.
(21:32:36)
Edfeil Stormblade de Ruoma
Queen of Windstorm
is in the Library, and says to Lord Cailin Kingdom of Caernarfon: *She inhaled deeply and for that moment it was nae clear from her countenance whether she was pleased with yer admission or nae. She looked at ye quiet and soberly* I can presume then that over time yer intentions be honorable? With the responsibilities this entails? *The question was direct indeed. And under other circumstances she might fear ye would take affront, but at this moment she stood in place of Lady Alys's guardian, her father of those that were entrusted with her wellbeing.*
(21:35:41)
Lord Cailin
Kingdom of Caernarfon, CC
is in the Library, and says to Edfeil Stormblade de Ruom: watching you closely, hoping I didn't offend you.... then smiling a lil as I answer... yes Your Majesty, I intend Alys no harm and would never do anything to disgrace her, I'm willing to do whatever it takes to stay by her side, I hope you will approve of my intentions, be in now or sometime in the near future...... smiles softly

Lord Cailin
Kingdom of Caernarfon, CC

Queen of Windstorm
is in the Library, and says to Lord Cailin Kingdom of Caernarfon: ((naahh.. not Edie's way to threaten. She has other ways. Unconscious even. She can heap a whole lot of guilt on someone without even knowing it. Now answer the question! *LOL*))

Edfeil Stormblade de Ruoma
Queen of Windstorm
is in the Library, and says to Lord Cailin Kingdom of Caernarfon: *She nodded yet pressed one moment further* Ye be prepared to undertake, over time, iffen an approved courtship develops and settlements can be made in agreement with both of yer families to take on the responsibilities for her as her husband? And to accept the roles and responsibilities to country too that such might bring to ye one day?
(21:55:27)
Lord Cailin
Kingdom of Caernarfon, CC
is in the Library, and says to Edfeil Stormblade de Ruom: can't help but grin as I hear your words.... Your Majesty, I am most ready for that, of course we've nay discussed that as of yet, but if she still feels the same for me then as she does now, I am willing to do all I can to be with her.
(21:59:28)
Edfeil Stormblade de Ruoma
Queen of Windstorm
is in the Library, and says to Lord Cailin Kingdom of Caernarfon: *She nodded quietly, and offered a smile. What came next would be the hardest for her. Oh she prayed to God Alys had already discussed this with ye, so mayhap she nae had to.* I am very pleased to hear such. I know how difficult it can be to have settlements established, especially when a lady be forced to take the burdens of the throne upon her. Iffen both her family and yers be agreeable, over time, I would offer me services as a go between to have the settlements made. Yet there be one thing... that is.. I am certain.. I hope.. she has mentioned there might be a.. problem with yer.. union?
(22:02:48)
Lord Cailin
Kingdom of Caernarfon, CC
is in the Library, and says to Edfeil Stormblade de Ruom: watches your expression and almost has to smile as it seems the burden be upon you now... then just grins as you ask..... aye Majesty, I do know who she is... smiles.... I'm afraid we really haven't discussed that deeply as of yet.. chuckles lightly.... but, that should not hold me back, for love conquers all, does it not?
(22:06:11)
Edfeil Stormblade de Ruoma
Queen of Windstorm
is in the Library, and says to Lord Cailin Kingdom of Caernarfon: *She winces and while she definitely approved Alys' maidenly modesty in nae wishing to take up such a topic as this, it nae was easier for her to address it. For the so maniest time she wish there had been a male, any male, whom she could have entrusted this task to. She was very tempted to leave the next matter up to Lord Sighehelm but.. then she would have to address it with him first which might make things even more difficult* Ah.. aye,.. and nae. There be some things.. that is nature.. between a man and a woman.. that is.. some things even love can nae.. ahm,... alter.

(22:11:23)
Edfeil Stormblade de Ruoma
Queen of Windstorm
is in the Library, and says to Lord Cailin Kingdom of Caernarfon: *She let out a sigh of relief, but then looked determinedly at ye* Even iffen ye wed her, M'lord, ye will nae have a son, nor a daughter. It nae be possible for one such as her. *And thank all Saints in Heaven ye were nae going to require her to go into the mechanics of things. It was hard for her to even imagine such herself nae alone speak of them* It be important for ye to know that before ye allow yerself to take any further steps either with yer hard or in the commitment of yer word.
(22:13:53)
Lord Cailin
Kingdom of Caernarfon, CC
is in the Library, and says to Edfeil Stormblade de Ruom: smiles.... aye, I do know this Majesty... and I promise and give you my word as we speak, it won't make a difference on how I feel about her, and I promise I will take good care of her as best as I physically can.
(22:19:18)
Edfeil Stormblade de Ruoma
Queen of Windstorm
is in the Library, and says to Lord Cailin Kingdom of Caernarfon: *She let out a long sigh of relief, audible this time and nodded* Then I be grateful and satisfied. Ye will understand that I have nae spoken of any of this to Alys. I stepped forward in addressing this with ye because she nae has a father. It be yer duty to guard her, nae yet physically but iffen ye wish her as yer wife, morally as well. We women oft be foolish creatures I fear, given to whim and whimsy. Without the guidance of men... well *she lifted her hand in utter seriousness and conviction* it be the way the world be designed. When a woman is asked to go beyond her capacities to take the throne or prepare for it. I know of some of what it costs. Someone to guide yer steps along the way, with the sound mind of a reliable man... it be a treasure for any woman. *she laughed then, somewhat uneasy* I would have given good gold iffen I could have asked of any man to take on this conversation instead. And I be grateful for yer forbearance with such. Lady Alys nae be family of the blood, nor be she under me guardianship of course. Yet she be under me protection of sort. And thus.. I felt I had to.. well, someone had to make certain her interests were well guarded.
(22:23:40)
Lord Cailin
Kingdom of Caernarfon, CC
is in the Library, and says to Edfeil Stormblade de Ruom: smiles at you... if I may speak freely again......... Majesty, with all kidding aside, for what you had to ask, you did a very good job, I respect you very much for tak'n this time to converse with me, and especially for the way you look after Alys....... She is very fortunate to have you, and I feel the same to be able to visit and know I can talk with you like this when need be.
(22:28:05)
Edfeil Stormblade de Ruoma
Queen of Windstorm
is in the Library, and says to Lord Cailin Kingdom of Caernarfon: *She inclined her head, sincerely grateful for yer words. She nae oft liked to overstep the bonds of her womanly desmaine, yet her title and duties sometimes asked for it. A conversation as this, she nae has had before, though in the past she has spoken to other suitors of her friends to see iffen they would indeed... suit. Her eye was a good one, and most yer steadiness and courtesy recommended ye to her.* I thank ye. Ye be welcome, both of ye be always welcome in Windstorm, nae just as allies but over time ye have become friends. I will, iffen there be a need to be addressed in the future of any kind. I hope ye will remember that Windstorm and I will be here to aide ye. *she stood then, small and regal at the same time* Now mayhap the time has come for us to go back down. I be certain the sergeant nae be too pleased to have me this long out of his sight, and I believe ye too will be grateful to have the Lady Alys before yer eyes once more.

For I sensed something had happened and I knew well you would tell what I needed to know and I would trust you in it. Returning your smile, my voice soft as I recovered from my surprise at the depth of her questions, I had thought there might have been concern regarding morality ..... Cailin, oh..... she is dear to me as well and I have looked to her as much more than a friend. And I can imagine it was quite the conversation. ..... pausing for a moment because I wasn't sure what to ask and if I wanted to ask. Pressing your hands as you held mine, softly smiles ...

In the half dark the flames teased new sparks out of the heavy gems in the small cap she wore. She looked different, more stern mayhap and more majestic, although her smile remained kindly as she moved a hand in an invitation for ye to take place in the chair in front of her.*

Mayhap she nae was born to have 't, but someone needed to.* We have known each other more than a year now, M'lord. Near two I believe. And I have known Princess Alys for much longer than such. I hope ye will grant me the permission to speak freely. In fact... I be intending to do such.

Kingdom of Caernarfon, CC

Edfeil Stormblade de Ruoma
Queen of Windstorm
is in the Library, and says to Lord Cailin Kingdom of Caernarfon: The lady Alys, ye have been her protector for several months. Normally I would nae ask further questions. Ye be a guest in this house and therefor the rules of hospitality forbid me to ask ye any. Yet... I have decided to set such aside since it seems none others would ask these questions of ye. I know ye as a man of honor. And iffen I know people well, ye would nae easily forget or forgo duty. Yet aside from duty and the bond that a constant companionship forms, is there an affection between ye and Princess Alys?

Your Majesty, since Alys and I were caught outside of the protection of the walls when the orc's attacked, and we managed to find our way back without harm, aye, I have taken a personal responsibility to watch o'er her.... then swallowing a lil as I continue.. aye Majesty, we have found that we do enjoy each other's company very much...... smil'n as I say that.
(21:03:20)
Edfeil Stormblade de Ruoma
Queen of Windstorm
is in the Library, and says to Lord Cailin Kingdom of Caernarfon: *She remained without motion aside from the calm and quiet nod. She was going to prod into things that some would say were nae her business. She would ask questions that those of a different way would think nae mattered. Yet she was of the olden ways and somehow she had started to feel responsible for Alys, especially after her elders passing. She felt almost like a godmother though the difference in age was nae that great* It should be the princess father who asks these questions of ye, M'lord. *and then for the first time a smile lightened her features again for a moment* Mayhap ye should be grateful it be but me instead. Ye have family still? A heritage? Ye hail from?

Lord Cailin
Kingdom of Caernarfon, CC
is in the Library, and says to Edfeil Stormblade de Ruom: smiles..... aye, he is still about our home in England, and my title be inherited, for my father was Lord of the lands where we resided, just outside of the town Buckingham.
(21:16:20)
Edfeil Stormblade de Ruoma
Queen of Windstorm
is in the Library, and says to Lord Cailin Kingdom of Caernarfon: *She nodded satisfied. To some it was nae important anymore, yet a similar lineage often equalled a similar sense of responsibilities* I hope and pray yer brother be wed with many strapping sons.. *she added in a most heartfelt wish, knowing from experience how much easier things were when the succession was assured and nae some thing to worry of* which leaves ye free to pledge yer duty somewhere else and yer affection. It be a good situation when ye nae be bound somewhere else. Considering.. *she looked at her hands* Ye know that Princess Alys be next in line for the throne, aye? I had asked her after first I met ye to speak with ye of such. It seemed but fair to do so early on.
(21:18:42)
Lord Cailin
Kingdom of Caernarfon, CC
is in the Library, and says to Edfeil Stormblade de Ruom: looks at you as you speak.... aye Majesty, she did mention that to me some time ago, but of course she is hop'n that that time is well off to the future..... smiles

Edfeil Stormblade de Ruoma
Queen of Windstorm
is in the Library, and says to Lord Cailin Kingdom of Caernarfon: Of course.. *she admitted briskly* We all hope that such be a long time away. But it be a time that will be upon her soon. And thus upon ye too iffen ye still be in her life in the future. That be yer intention? *it was almost a sharp question, and her eyes remained upon yer face. The strong questioning was foreign to her and she had steeled herself for weeks, but she owed it to Alys. It was said that a match iffen it had her approval would be a strong one. It was said that those who knew and failed to present their intended to her.. oft were unlucky in their choice. Many a things were said, though few of them would be confirmed by her own lips*

Lord Cailin
Kingdom of Caernarfon, CC

Queen of Windstorm
is in the Library, and says to Lord Cailin Kingdom of Caernarfon: I would ask ye to do so, M'lord, aye. *her own lashes lower for a moment, veiling her gaze as she noticed the heightened hue in yer cheeks. It nae was her goal to discontent ye, yet she knew it would be a consequence most likely of her frankness, a frankness to which she was nae accustomed. This was why the Good Lord had made these conversations the providence of men, she was certain*

Your Majesty, it is indeed my intentions to stay in Alys's life, I feel we have a very strong bond between us, and...... pausing for a moment, knowing you said to speak freely, but is still a lil shy....... Your majesty, I have fallen in love with Alys, and as long as she will have me about, I intend to not only protect her, but to always be with her........ looking at you quickly and hoping I nay over spoke.

Queen of Windstorm
is in the Library, and says to Lord Cailin Kingdom of Caernarfon: *She inhaled deeply and for that moment it was nae clear from her countenance whether she was pleased with yer admission or nae. She looked at ye quiet and soberly* I can presume then that over time yer intentions be honorable? With the responsibilities this entails? *The question was direct indeed. And under other circumstances she might fear ye would take affront, but at this moment she stood in place of Lady Alys's guardian, her father of those that were entrusted with her wellbeing.*

And to accept the roles and responsibilities to country too that such might bring to ye one day?

Queen of Windstorm
is in the Library, and says to Lord Cailin Kingdom of Caernarfon: *She nodded quietly, and offered a smile. What came next would be the hardest for her. Oh she prayed to God Alys had already discussed this with ye, so mayhap she nae had to.* I am very pleased to hear such. I know how difficult it can be to have settlements established, especially when a lady be forced to take the burdens of the throne upon her. Iffen both her family and yers be agreeable, over time, I would offer me services as a go between to have the settlements made. Yet there be one thing... that is.. I am certain.. I hope.. she has mentioned there might be a.. problem with yer.. union?

Queen of Windstorm
is in the Library, and says to Lord Cailin Kingdom of Caernarfon: *She winces and while she definitely approved Alys' maidenly modesty in nae wishing to take up such a topic as this, it nae was easier for her to address it. For the so maniest time she wish there had been a male, any male, whom she could have entrusted this task to. She was very tempted to leave the next matter up to Lord Sighehelm but.. then she would have to address it with him first which might make things even more difficult* Ah.. aye,.. and nae. There be some things.. that is nature.. between a man and a woman.. that is.. some things even love can nae.. ahm,... alter.

It nae be possible for one such as her. *And thank all Saints in Heaven ye were nae going to require her to go into the mechanics of things. It was hard for her to even imagine such herself nae alone speak of them* It be important for ye to know that before ye allow yerself to take any further steps either with yer hard or in the commitment of yer word.

Ye will understand that I have nae spoken of any of this to Alys. I stepped forward in addressing this with ye because she nae has a father. It be yer duty to guard her, nae yet physically but iffen ye wish her as yer wife, morally as well. We women oft be foolish creatures I fear, given to whim and whimsy. Without the guidance of men... well *she lifted her hand in utter seriousness and conviction* it be the way the world be designed. When a woman is asked to go beyond her capacities to take the throne or prepare for it. I know of some of what it costs. Someone to guide yer steps along the way, with the sound mind of a reliable man... it be a treasure for any woman. *she laughed then, somewhat uneasy* I would have given good gold iffen I could have asked of any man to take on this conversation instead. And I be grateful for yer forbearance with such. Lady Alys nae be family of the blood, nor be she under me guardianship of course. Yet she be under me protection of sort. And thus.. I felt I had to.. well, someone had to make certain her interests were well guarded.

She nae oft liked to overstep the bonds of her womanly desmaine, yet her title and duties sometimes asked for it. A conversation as this, she nae has had before, though in the past she has spoken to other suitors of her friends to see iffen they would indeed... suit. Her eye was a good one, and most yer steadiness and courtesy recommended ye to her.* I thank ye. Ye be welcome, both of ye be always welcome in Windstorm, nae just as allies but over time ye have become friends. I will, iffen there be a need to be addressed in the future of any kind. I hope ye will remember that Windstorm and I will be here to aide ye. *she stood then, small and regal at the same time* Now mayhap the time has come for us to go back down. I be certain the sergeant nae be too pleased to have me this long out of his sight, and I believe ye too will be grateful to have the Lady Alys before yer eyes once more.

Kingdom of Dragonwyck
is in the Great Hall, and say to Lord Cailin Kingdom of Caernarfon: Listening to you as you take my hands, you had my full attention as you always do, but this time even more so. For I sensed something had happened and I knew well you would tell what I needed to know and I would trust you in it. Returning your smile, my voice soft as I recovered from my surprise at the depth of her questions, I had thought there might have been concern regarding morality ..... Cailin, oh..... she is dear to me as well and I have looked to her as much more than a friend. And I can imagine it was quite the conversation. ..... pausing for a moment because I wasn't sure what to ask and if I wanted to ask. Pressing your hands as you held mine, softly smiles ... Cailin, I shall entrust you with telling me what you believe I should know of it and shall not press. .... my cheeks were warm and deeply colored.

is in the Great Hall, and say to grace travels upon wings: just smiles as I lean in close, whisper'n softly in your ear..... Well, she did touch upon the birds and bees talk a lil.... laff's and kisses your cheek.... I think she was a tad uncomfortable with that as I was at first...... gives you a lil wink.
