Song of Oestend
“After a week the sounds stopped and the house again fell silent. Aren was relieved, but not such a fool as to think it was over.
It took another week for Deacon to stop asking him constantly if everything was all right, and Aren was relieved when the big cowboy finally let the subject drop. Aren hated lying to his only real friend, but he wasn’t going to risk being sent back to the barracks, either.
A few days later, he walked across the grassy expanse from the house to the courtyard to meet De...acon for breakfast as he did every morning. The wind was blowing, as it ever did in Oestend. Sometimes it was quiet. Sometimes it was loud. Often it built to a crescendo in the deep of night. But this morning, it was faint and soothing, heard only in the soft rustle of the long, swaying grass that Aren walked through. A path was beginning to form through it from his many trips back and forth. Seeing it made him smile. It somehow solidified his place at the BarChi, and his place in the world as a whole.MoreLess
