"No." She sighed. "I owe Charlotte my life."

"I'd fear her," He mumbled.

((M'off, will be back after 12))

"Well... we'd best be on our way."

"Have a safe journey, I hope you find the right horse."

"Why?" She asked. "She isn't scary, she really cares about everyone."

"She's letting people starve to death on the street."

"You said nothing though. Come on girl, tell me" he coxed lightly hesitantly touching her cheek.

"Don't you have somewhere to be Ariagne?" Charlotte asked her.

"Yes ma'am." She looked at Charlotte, then back to Dragomir. "She is a good person despite it, and anyway she sends me with food to give it to the village elders so that her father doesn't have a go at her and so it gets distributed evenly. She thought it had."

He shook his head in response to that, "It hasn't."

She shook her head, "I've told you enough for you to figure out,"

"Then blame me not her."

He just grumbled something incoherent under his breath.

"Come on, we must leave."

He nodded.

Charlotte wrapped her arms around herself, as she sat on the stairs just waiting for them to leave, for some reason now she felt even more scared than before.

He motioned for her to lead the way.

As they passed Charlotte, she moved to kneal in front of her. "Do you wish for me to stay so you're not alone ma'am?"

"No, you go home to your men, your bed and your children, I'll be fine like I always am remember." Charlotte told her.

He watched quietly.

"I worry about you."

"Why? I'm not yours to worry about...Dont bother turning up tomorrow I release you from service."

He was silent.

"Leave me." Charlotte told her and despite Charlotte sounding weak and scared, Ariagne still flinched.

He just headed out of the house with an impatient sigh.

"You don't have to be so impatient you know."

"I'm not being impatient, I just don't so sympathy for long amounts of time."

((Re-post Beth?))

"I've told you more than enough for you to figure out what I mean," Sence whispered.
