Laurel is still just a little under 10 years old, and has been poking about the Mansion, exploring the nooks and crannies. She's a very curious, if subdued young woman, and she's learned that young ladies can get a great many places by being quiet and unobtrusive ( Read more... )

so can I doublecomment? >_>

Agravain is a little horrified to realise that he recognises his wife, and a split-second after he says "Laurel?" he also realises that he has no clue what to say to a child version of her or in fact how to interact with children at all. Shit.

You are amazing. ^_^

"Aye?" She blinks, looking up at the man who seems to know her. "...sir," she adds, quickly, from training.

"You're--long way from home." AGHHH DEER IN HEADLIGHTS.

"Aye," uncertainly.

Agravain sighs. "Hungry?"

"A little," she says, shyly.

"Come on, I'll make you supper." But damned if he's going to hold your hand, Laurel.

She doesn't seem to expect it, nodding. "Thank you, sir."

"Come on."

He leads the way to their room, rather than the kitchen--blame habit--and starts fishing dried fruit and meat out of the wall cabinet where he keeps it. Agravain does not really like the Mansion kitchen, as it happens.

Perhaps because Kay is often in it?

Regardless, she looks around at the room curiously. While he's in the cabinet, she notes a book on the small table by the window. "My papa has a book like this," she says, a little surprised.

That doubtless helps a lot.

"He does?" caught off guard.

hardlyagravated July 20 2009, 04:31:00 UTC

She nods. "It's always in his study."

agravaiting July 20 2009, 04:45:14 UTC

"Huh," is his helpful reply. Since the copying of books is a totally alien concept, and his illiteracy leaves him unable to come up with a plausable content-based excuse, this is--really kind of a tough situation. Yes. Uh. What can he--

"--You like horses?"

She turns to him, brightening just a little. "Yes. I'm learning, though I can't go faster than a canter, yet. Papa says."

agravaiting July 20 2009, 05:31:27 UTC

"You're little. Fall off and you'll break into bits." He looks at her dubiously. "Got to be careful yet."

hardlyagravated July 20 2009, 12:27:49 UTC

She wants to correct him, but just says, "...aye."
