Emerald Embrace
“Martise had expected to find him in her room when she awoke, but she was alone. She dressed hastily and hurried down to the great hall.
It was early, and though the rest of the family was in the hall, Bryan was nowhere in sight. Elaina was at the table, stirring sugar into her tea. Ian was across from her, and Conar and Peter were at the buffet, preparing plates.
Peter looked up when she came in. “Ah, lass, and good mornin’ to ye! We heard ye had a bit of trouble last night, so it’s good to see... that you seem well enough from the episode. ’Twas the forest ye were lost in, eh?”
“Yes, it was the forest,” she said, coming to the table.
“A dangerous place at night,” Peter said.
Ian chuckled and rose, pulling out a chair for Martise. She smiled and allowed him to seat her as he said, “Dangerous! For our Lady St. James? I think not! The beasties and goblins had best beware when she walks about! Shall I get you tea?” he inquired.
“Please.”
