Women!
Really!!!
For a second imagine waking up with no tent around you and a angry hot faced sister screaming incomprehenable things. Welcome to the start of my day.
The damm cow has wandered off (Merchant not... Oh never mind!) and Big John has gone looking for it. Well he wasn't here when anyone woke up. As red had packed the horses and as I struggled to get dressed all my things, we started off without breakfast.
We got into Glenhoe within an hour. It was the strangest experience. People ran inside shutting doors and stared out of their windows like they were scared of us. It didnt feel right. I dropped little red round at her old nurse maids and she fussed over Red and little John while I slipped out. I knew she'd be safe there.
And I thought a lone rider on a horse might be better received. As I headed up to our castle I felt like the prodigal son returning home. But everything was open and unguarded and the few guards that looked round the corners didnt look familiar. My father usually could be found in the far banquet hall. So I headed straight there Hoping to meet someone who could at least announce me. When i got there again there was no one about. I drew my sword as a precaution. The man in the banquet hall was sitting down, at first I thought my father had changed so much I thought maybe it wasn't even him...
