Blood Moon - Ned your help

"Then my plan might just work." She told her. "Your mistress is quite ill isn't she?"

"She has been since the attack on the village, yeah."

She nodded. "Is she able to speak?"

Hasley nodded

"I'm going back with you later, I'm going to buy you from her." She told her. "Or come to an agreement for you, then you can join us, but you won't be our slave."

"Why?" She whispered

"Because you and Mikael look good together and I know your mistress won't give you the permission you need to act on your feelings."

"I- I don't know.. What makes you think I'm good for him?"

"I've seen you two together." She told her. "And I've seen how you care for Solveig."

"That isnt an answer to what I asked, not really."

"You're good together, you listen to him and talk to him."

"Everyone listens to him when he talks," Hasley whispered. "And lots of people talk to him, we barely get time alone because of the smount of people who talks and listens to him."

"Believe that as you wish, but he actively looks for you."

"I never said he didn't but, I am not the only one who listens.. There are plenty of women in this place who would be better for him then me, cause him less complications and ridicule and issues."

"Don't forget his first wife was like you."

"Exactly," Hasley whispered. "The whole ordeal broke his heart."

"And you look to be making it whole again."

Hasley exhaled slowly, looking over her shoulder to watch Mikael closely.

Mikael was happily talking with his younger brother.

Hasley just watched

Thora watched. Him.

"Can I stay here? While you talk to her?"

"Of course."

"Thanks."

She smiled softly.
