•STAG AND BOAR•
...is at the stag and boar Inn...
ALL: * the morning light streaming through shades stirring me awake . Its warmth carressing facial features with a morning kiss .Begrudgingly hazel orbs flutter open Slumberous mind tells me body to get moving ,laggardly I rose from the bed and shuffle over to the window opening the shutters letting the full measure of the morning light I stayed the night at the inn not wishing to bother any for an escort back to the castle The night waying on me mind still . I did have to chuckle about the knives . That poor man I hoped his hand would heal fast but he did deserve it .Ulbercht was ceetainly a gentalman. I felt bad that he got yelled at. Gazing out at the morning street below , thoughts drift back to my own childhood an how I wished I had had siblings .Perhaps if I had when mother and father died iffen they were older than me I would not have had to live with me uncle. He and mother were always getting into arguments always over money . I never understood it because he had a much bigger home than we did and more fancy things . Mother never would talk about it but just to say those were trappings and not to be wanting things but want a quiet life .I wish I had things of both my father and mother but uncle would not allow me to take anything with me. I blinked and shook me head side to side finally the street below turned from a blur into me past to its cobble stones with clunking hooves . talking to my self .* ok Mae this is not doing you any good you can not under the past or wish for what you have no control over * finally turning and slipping on me clothes .I headed down stairs to pay my bill and head back for the castle .*

•STAG AND BOAR•
...is at the stag and boar Inn...
ALL: * I weave my way though the maze of tables and chairs stopping at the desk and hands the clerk my key before reaching for the coin pouch. He asks if the room was ok and iffen I slept well. I rubbed me eyes some still trying to wake up but nodded it was very nice and handed him the coin for the room.There were all sorts of pictures and nick nacks hanging on the walls . I had not noticed them last night one in particular caught me eye . I pointed to it .It was a picture of Lady wearing a strange hat that had four silver balls on it .It struck my eye because I suddenly had a flash back of me mother wearing such a hat . The clerk looked at me odly * ya its a painting so? * I started to stutter * M M y m m mother had one of those* me voice drifting off and the room drew dim in the light of this revelation . My focus solely on the picture on the wall *

ALL: *the man hit his handon the desk startling me back to the room. slowly, my eyes turned back to him .my voice still distant * Do you know what that hat is?* tilting my head trying to stay in the here and now .the man becoming quit agravated with me and loudly proclaimed* Lady * used very derogatory not as a title* I am a bar and inn keep . WHAT would I know of a hat * he hands me my changed and in a dismissing manor spins on his heels and disapears into the back room . My cue that is was time to head back to the castle *

•VILLAGE•
...is in the village of Windstorm...
ALL: * oh ,now there seemed to be a spring to me step I went over to the stables paid the boy for the stall and feed for the horse and had him saddle her .* im sorry girl I will bring you a treat when we get back to the castle but we have to get back now * it seemed so urgent to me oh that libray had to have something about this hat .mother only wore when the important people came over . I knew they were important because I always got sent up to my room and told not to come down .Also Uncle showed up alot of the time only to be escorted out by a few men . I mounted the horse very un lady like with the dress on but I never did learn that darn side saddle thing it was much more fun this way . I nudge her onward going at a even clip clop down the coble stones finally reaching the end of the road and started up the dirt one drinking in the sun warmed air. I wondered could the sun have a scent . I laughed at myself . I would come up with the oddest things at time s*
