And the next eight from Seize. I’ll be out of town this weekend, so I’ll probably respond to comments late Sunday or Monday.
I wasn’t eager to correct his erroneous assumption that I was David’s mother. I wasn’t overly eager for anyone to know my real identity. I knew my father held no diplomatic relations with David’s kingdom of Ula, which I had never heard of, and wasn’t willing to risk becoming a prisoner again, this time for ransom rather than whatever nefarious purpose the witch had in store.
The knight walked to his horse, which I noticed must be well trained as, though he hadn’t been tied down, he hadn’t strayed an inch from where his reins dangled, touching the leaf-covered dirt. He pulled a bundle from his saddle bags and offered it to me. When I eyed him warily, he knelt and offered it to David, who snatched it greedily.
He unwrapped the bundle like he was ripping into a gift, revealing two loaves of bread. David handed one back to me and plopped on the ground at my feet.

A very nice eight, I am intrigued…

Lovely eight, as always. I’d say she has a right to be wary – strange men with loaves of bread are not to be trusted right off! 😛
