“Oh, dear sister,” Laertes said, firmly putting his hands on her shoulders. “Don’t fear the distance -- and you know you will not be alone.” Though he was glad -- more than glad -- to be leaving court and returning to France, this was the only thing that made him hesitate. He wouldn’t trade his freedom for the world, but leaving his sister and father behind always made him hesitate. “And you will let me hear from you? Hm?” he said, trying to make her smile.

Laertes’ sigh is quiet and heavy as he looks out towards the horizon.

He could hear the footsteps following him, though the bearer tried to muffle their weight. “If you have a quarrel with me, show yourself -- unless you are too cowardly to bare your face,” he said evenly, his voice carrying. He was growing tired of this little subterfuge, his hand tightening on the hilt of the rapier at his waist. It would be far better to have whatever it was out in the open, instead of being followed around.
