He arched a single brow, but said nothing as he rose to join her, ignoring the short coughs and snorts of laughter of his men. Bronwyn instantly froze as she realized what the small group-including her husband-believed she had meant. Mustering up the remnants of her pride,she forced herself to march on. \"It's nice to know you've been wanting me all day, but if you desire for us to be alone, there are more discreet ways of letting me know,\" Ranulf teased as he lifted the flap of their tent. Bronwyn knew her already red face was turning an even more brilliant color, but she refused to let Ranulf believe he had totally won. \"You,husband, are far more in need of a modesty lesson than I.\" Ranulf let go the heavy material and then crossed his arms with a smug look of satisfaction Bronwyn wanted to both remove and indulge. \"Don't believe in modesty.Never have.Kind of liking the fact that you don't either,\" he said, hinting at what he thought was about to come next.

Black ones less so,but I have found that in general dark horses suit me better.\" \"You just think you look better on them,\" Edythe protested before succumbing to several seconds of coughing. Bronwyn studied her redheaded sister for a moment.Tyr put another blanket around Edythe's shoulders and eventually the coughs quieted. Turning her attention to Ranulf,Bronwyn promised him softly, \"You'll have to ignore them.\" Ranulf grimaced and sent a reproving look to his youngest sister-in-law. It,just like the others he had sent Lily throughout the day,changed nothing. \"I just find it hard to reconcile the child I hear now with the woman who appeared after your death. With you gone,she had to grow up.Now that you are back...\" Bronwyn snuggled up against his side with a sigh. \"I admit I encourage it.Life will force Lily to grow up soon enough and I am glad it was not my death that thrust it upon her. In the meantime,you ignore her prattle and I'll just be amused it,\" she advised before planting a gentle kiss on his arm. Ranulf,with his free hand, raked his fingers through his short hair. How had he gotten into this predicament? But it took only one look at the huddled form next to him to remember exactly how. Bronwyn. He had wanted to make her happy. After thinking her lost to him forever, he would have promised her anything, even the moon.”",

She sounded so damn happy . He plopped the water bowl back on its table. And why shouldn't she be? \"You will like my commander. He is as handsome as Lillabet is beautiful.\" Pain flashed in Bronwyn's eyes, turning them dark, almost black. If Ranulf's aim had been to hurt,he had struck true, resulting in a desire to inflict similar anguish. \"As long as he doesn't lie to me and make me out the fool, I will be content.\" \"I suspect he won't if you don't lie to him first.\" Bronwyn pushed herself out of the chair as a frisson of anger shot up her spine. \"Maybe I won't if he doesn't order me away from my home without the courage to look me in the eye when he does so.\" \"I never pretended to be someone else.\" \"In that you are correct, my lord.You made it very clear from the beginning that you were a hateful man,\" she seethed. \"Didn't seem to bother you when you used your female wiles to entice me to your bed,\" Ranulf hissed back. Bronwyn marched over to the door and swung it wide open. \"I wonder just how my sister will deal with your barbarism.

Tyr dismissed the look and pressed on,opting for a flank attack. \"You know that dress she was wearing? She would wear that color more often, complements that odd color of blue in her eyes.\" Ranulf sank onto the bench across the table from Tyr and raked his hands through his hair. \"Take my advice and avoid looking too long at them.They can confound a man.Make him believe in lies.\" \"You might be right,\" Tyr agreed and moved to pour himself some more wine. \"But when a man can't think straight,is it she who is telling the lies or is it he who is telling them to himself?\" \"If you are trying to make a point, don't.\" \"No,no point.\" Tyr sighed and swirled his mug. \"Just that she was looking pretty tonight.

Seeing her initial jubilant welcome, Edythe snorted and rubbed her arms vigorously in an attempt to get warmer. Lily, on the other hand, laughed. \"Sorry. You obviously hoped we were someone else,\" she mumbled, not meaning it at all. Tyr poked his head in and, looking at Edythe, said, \"We are to be leaving soon.Be ready.\" Edythe issued him a scowl and rubbed her very red nose. \"I heard you the first five times,\" she moaned. \"The man does not believe in sleep and cannot seem to get it through his head that some do,\" she added, speaking to Bronwyn but keeping her gaze on him. Tyr arched a single brow and stepped inside. \"I sleep,just not all day.\" Edythe sniffed.She wasn't feeling her best, but she was not about to let Tyr chide her without consequences. \"You may have been the one standing beside me at the alter, but that doesn't give you permission to act like my husband.\" \"I know your husband well, and Garik's going to feel the same way,\" Tyr responded, crossing his arms. Edythe lifted her chin and several locks of her red hair fell around her shoulders. \"Not after I'm done with him. He'll be glad to have a wife. And the fact that I like to sleep in bed , he's going to consider a bonus.\" Then with a manufactured flair, she stepped around him and plopped down on the fur blankets with enough force that her hastily made braid came totally undone. Few outside of family had ever seen Edythe's auburn tresses completely free, but those who did were blessed with a sight that denied description. Tyr just stared at her for several seconds. Every muscle in his body had gone tight and he looked as if he were struggling just to breathe. A second later,he pivoted and abruptly exited the tent, stomping off with no effort to hide his displeasure. Edythe, who refused to look at him, could no longer pretend to be ignorant of Tyr's mood. \"The man is a menace,\" she mumbled as she once again rubbed her nose.”",

Lily's world revolves only around her.\" Tyr chuckled and the sound sent ripples of awareness down her arms. \"I'd rather talk about you, Lady Edythe.\" \"I'd rather not.\" \"Lady Edythe,\" Tyr repeated, drawing out her name. His forehead wrinkled. \"No. Don't like it. A girl like you needs a nickname.\" She hadn't been a \"girl\" for several years,and Edythe was irked that he saw her as such. \"That's one thing I'll never want.\" \"That's a shame.Everyone should have a nickname.\" \"Really,then what's yours?\" Tyr licked his lips and in a low voice, lied, \"Bachelor.\" \"Fitting,\" Edythe retorted. \"I doubt with your type of self-serving charm, too many women vie to change that status.\" Tyr clucked his tongue, completely unfazed by her ridiculous barb. \"Ed,I think.Little and sweet...just like you.\" \" Thoin, \" Edythe hissed and moved to walk away,not dreaming for a second that he would know Gaelic and understand what she meant. \" Bauchle ,\" Tyr chirped back in retaliation. Edythe spun around, her jaw open, but before she could retort, he added, this time with a Scottish brogue, \"Ed,even if I didn't know my own language, certain words are known far and wide, and \"ass\" is certainly one of them.\" Straightening, she puffed out her chest and poked him in the ribs. \"I may be many things,but untidy, fat, and your wife isn't one of them.\" Tyr gulped.It had been a long time since he'd spoken his native tongue to a woman who knew Gaelic and he plucked the wrong insult from memory.He had just remembered it being about a woman and knew it wasn't flattering. \"You're right. My apologies.But you,my pretty lady, are in desperate need of a nickname. How about one that is more fitting?\" \"I don't want a nickname,\" she gritted out. And certainly not one from you, she hissed to herself. Why did he have to call her pretty? And why did she care? \"Well, Ruadh ,you got one.\" \" Red? Lord,you are the most unimaginative-\" \"Hmm,when you put it that way...Red...Ed. Quite memorable and easy to say.I like it!\" \"You would.That nickname-if you can call it that-wouldn't suit a kitchen rat.\" Tyr shook his head. \"I disagree,and just remember that it was you and not I who compared yourself to such a repulsive creature.I would have said...a finch.Yes...small,loud and with a sharp beak.”",

For once,their thoughts were in accord. When Ranulf had first arrived and started banging on Bronwyn's door, both had awakened wondering if they should do something. When the racket ceased, Lily scurried into Edythe's room. \"What's going on?\" \"I don't know,\" came Edythe's simple reply. \"Why is Ranulf so angry with Bronwyn?\" Again Edythe shrugged. \"Well,should we go and see if Bronwyn needs help?\" Edythe bit her bottom lip. The situation was foreign to her.She supposed they should go, but her gut was telling her to stay put. She was still debating the decision when voices rose again,and this time Bronwyn's was in the mix. And she never yelled. The door slammed and heavy footsteps retreated. \"I think...I think I was just insulted,\" Lily mumbled. \"By both of them.\" Seeing the stunned look in Lily's gray eyes,Edythe reached over to pacify her. \"They also said some flattering things.\" Lily slipped out of the embrace and shook her head. \"Edythe, what have I done?\" \"What do you mean?\" Lily bounded off the bed and passionately stabbed her finger toward the wall seperating Edythe's and Bronwyn's room. \"Them! Didn't you hear?\" Edythe nodded her head in relief. \"I did.I just wasn't sure you had.\" Slump-shouldered,Lily returned to the bed and collapsed on it. \"Oh Lord, Edythe, I just announced to everyone that I was going to marry the man our sister loves.\" \"It's my guess that he loves her,too.”",

It was going to be a hard few days for everyone at Hunswick,suddenly observing Advent, but it might inspire the new residents to not just enjoy the fruits of everyone's labor,but appreciate and contribute. Turning around,Bronwyn pasted on what she hoped to be an incredulous look and said, \"During Advent Fast?Now,my lord, you wouldn't want others to think you a heathen.\" Ranulf picked up the mug,sniffed the tea with disdain,and put it back down before flopping into one of the hearth chairs. \"I know a hell of a lot more about the topic than you.And I could care less about the opinion of others.\" \"I doubt that,\" Bronwyn murmured, just loud enough for him to hear, \"on either point.\" Ranulf leaned forward and grabbed the plate of fish and potatoes. He took several bites and waved his fork around the platter. \"The Church calls for their followers to celebrate the season of Advent the four weeks before Christmas, which is nonsense because I know of no one who rejoices in the idea of starvation and...abstinence.\" Bronwyn's heartbeat suddenly doubled its pace and she had to fight to remain looking relaxed and unaffected. \"I believe humility is a large purpose behind the fast.\" \"And control,\" Ranulf replied with a grunt. \"If I kept such an absurd custom, I and my men would have starved many a year.”",

But what about the exemption of children,the elderly, and the infirm ?\" The man was acting smug and causing her to react defensively. Bronwyn leaved over to pour herself some hot cider and then settled back in the hearth chair, slowly sipping the sweet drink. She glanced at him and then licked her lips and asked, \"Oh,are you infirm?\" Without blinking,Ranulf purred, \"It depends.\" Bronwyn succumed to a shiver and looked away. She was playing with fire and needed to stop. \"I suppose we could hunt for some barnacle geese. That should suffice for meat and still make Father Morrell happy.”",
