In secret

[Lady Edfeil]

*The queen had nae been in the hall that day. It was nae easy to explain, fatigue from the journey would keep her to her rooms. Except... that was nae where she was. She was in the library, keeping to the shadows, with Sergeant Lan hulking over her with a scowl that could freeze hell itself. She had called for Jordis, and he nae understood why. It was her husband that should be called at the least. Dieter and Dorian as well. There should be court brought and justice dealt with. Swiftly. Yet that was nae her way.
Still he nae had an inkling of her plans until Jordis arrived and she asked for Old Nan to be brought from the village. Old Nan, nae baroness Hawkmoon, nae the castle's own healer, but a village woman, nae matter how competent. It meant she was trying to keep this secret. But why? She would know the truth was written in bruising shades on her face.

The why was revealed shortly after when Jordis came back, while Old Nan was clucking over her like a mother hen, assessing the wrist, and looking at the way she held herself with more concern. Yet Edfeil's first concern nae seemed to be with her wounds, and when Lan heard the request she made of Jordis, it took all she had to stop him from breaking discipline and stop the scheme. There is a man, locked in the sacristy of the chapel. Escort him to the Pretty Boat.. bring him where he wants and tell him nae to set foot on Windstorm soil again.
Banishment?? That was to be the judgement? Banishment for putting his hands on her?

ALL: ~The pretty boat had indeed last eve left port in return for Windstorm so should anyone be looking for it two things would have already happened . they either found it on the ways back home or two found it in port last evening late night . The only reason I was even left behind was my word that i was boarding the boat with my own blood brother . Even then there was a bit of contraversy over weather or not i should be left at port alone . So once Brendon met my brother and his captain of his ship i was left to board it . and board it we did . now i was on the "Merchant " ship of my brother

ALL: We had pulled into another port on the way to see mother a port my brother knew more so then I . Foolishly and a lil too neively i took the holy man to the nearest chapel . and went about my day my task complete or so I had assumed. we had spent the nigth celebrating time woth family at a local tavern . my forst mistake not killing the holy man my second mistake drinking like the old days with the men of my brother's ship The wave runner . The old holy man was no fool on the way back to the ship and through the village there was a ambush on the crew . others that stayed behind og course came down to help near the area. I however had to take on mor ethen one man myself alone . I must say tis after a few mead althought i wasnt inebreated was still a challenge as i had no formal training just simple self defence training . ~

ALL: I had done fairly well but began taking hits as they surrounded the woman bunch of cowards . before i could assess the burninf feeling i felt in my thigh and stinging in my temple i was doing ok .I did however feel a set of arms pick me off the ground where i had been thrown and panicked a little . after a few momments I realised i was being carried to the ship of my brother and that in itself was ok not knowing the arms arround me howver was bad for the poor sap i was beating on all the way tpo the ship Scraming out for Jordan .~.

[Sarah]

Even in the secrecies of any moment, eyes were scattered like butterflies in summer. And those eyes of the Kingdom oft saw more than those closest. Within the village ..she had made her way with escort. The Seamstress there she had come to know well. And a few times she had herself wandered the cobbled streets ...talking to the vendors as they wish to sell thier wares. That was when she had spotted a few suspicious things. When the Lady Sarah had come to visit in request of a few things she needed...it was then that they spoke. It was then that she felt the creeping touch along her spine once more. Just like the night she had spoken with her husband and found within his eyes and in the depth of his voice..something more than what was just him. Having already thought that she could not do this alone. She would figure to find her Majesty..pon hearing of thier arrival fianally...and now it would seem that there would be something more to seek out. As much as she didnt like the fact that she would now be escort anywhere outside the walls of the castle grounds...she would seek her family this day..and speak with her mother. Whom she found always to be so wise in certain moments with years in those eyes that have seen much more than her own. Not to let on to the one chosen to tak her on this task this day...and letting her father entertain the gaurd whilst she talked with her beloved mother..having sent her sister to the village for a few things that her family would need for thier evening supper. Soon enough she had emerged ..and set forth on Portia with Gaurd in her shadow...back to the castle. With her back facing the escort..she let her expressions slip to the deeply scowled and quisitive nature of her thoughts. More than just a few things were amiss..and she felt she had dwelt in the shadows long enough. But she had to wonder ...if still she were a touch more the outsider in so much to feel she may over step boundries in her wonderings. To set forth and delve her heart further into things..With her husband it was without question ..she would always be there for him. And with this situation...this paticular darker situation..it would allow a foot through the door so to speak. What was to come from that moment on...would not be entirely up to her. But she could not shake the intensified feelings that now rushed through her blood with every beat of her heart. With guilt still lingering pon her nerves..having spoke out of mannerism once..she wished not to do that ....again.
