((Slightly forced posting as the visitor had r/t before she was able to be given shelter *S*....just to set the scene *S*))
*She had looked on from the shadows....having finished her evening walk, not wishing to intrude as he spoke with the woman. She pondered if to move back or indeed approach and welcome her......surely that was a babe she cradled so close and protectively.
The Guards were alert, and when Sir Dorian spoke...suddenly even more appeared. She glanced to the battlements where indeed they had trebled their number or more besides.
The woman was escorted into the Castle, and as Dream was about to move forward...she almost bumped into a Guard that had been sent to seek her. She felt her cheeks flush with embarrasment as she approached Sir Dorian.
They spoke together briefly of the woman....a beautiful maiden who had been cradling a babe as she assumed. His name was Dalen and his Mother was the Queen Tamiela who apparently was now in danger within her homeland. Zella was a trusted hand maiden and the Captain had given her sanctuary with the babe......promising her safety and lodgings.
Dream was aware of the dangers...and gave her word to do all she could.....she would tell the servants the maiden was her cousin...visiting for a while lest they would gossip. He was unsure if any had been following the lone rider....but the Castle was always on alert.
She bid Dorian a good evening and hastened to settle the new visitor into her rooms.*
