"I don’t know anything about you, I just, I really like you."
"Despite my predilection towards being tossed in the air by runaway oxen and carts?" Míriel asked him from her nest of pillow, leg up in traction because there was only so much time magic could mend a rebroken leg before you had to wait for nature to do the job.
This was the fifth time she had attempted to leave his kingdom and been waylaid by escaped steaks with legs.
She seemed to positively attract them. This was not something that she had, had to deal with before in her life. Perhaps it was the location. Perhaps Kaeran bulls and carts could smell the scent of a miandering lost and homeless quendi from a distance.
Perhaps it was her very scent that spooked the animals.
"Well if you have any questions now is the time to ask, apparently I'm not going anywhere until they are completely satisfied that nature has mended my break completely through" she picked a stray piece of straw out of her hair. She had fallen into another cart this time, one thankfully filled with hay... unfortunately that hay had been in crates as buffering for delicate pottery.
They'd picked the equivalent of three urns out of her back.
Poppy honey was a marvelous thing.
