A day or two after their rides, Eowyn finds herself wandering down towards the trees, to see if she can find the home of Lamorak's brother and his wife. She wonders, after a bit, if she wouldn't have done better to wait until Lamorak could formally introduce her, but by that point, she can already see a little house in the distance-- too late.

Cimorene is certainly home, humming one of Dinadan's compositions a bit idly. She's making bread, up to her elbows in flour, and doesn't look much like a princess at all, a few strands of black hair escaping the pinned up braids, her skin tanned from outdoor work.

If Eowyn gets close enough to knock, or hover near the door, Cimorene calls out "Oh, just come in. Everyone does."

She shrugs. "He's a knight." This should apparently be sufficient.

'I think perhaps the meaning is different where I am from.'

[dragon_dealer]

"Maybe so. But then again, I'm usually alone in my opinions."

[fairandcold]

'I find I often am as well.'

[dragon_dealer]

"Really?" She smiles a bit. "Huh. So are you from the same place as all these silly Camelot people?"

[fairandcold]

'I had never heard the name before. My country is the Riddermark.'

[dragon_dealer]

"Yet another place I've never heard of. I'm from Linderwall, which is apparently not near anything else."

[fairandcold]

'I do not know it. But I do not know much of the world beyond my own country, I fear.'

[dragon_dealer]

"Well. You'll get your fill of hearing about them, if not seeing them."

[fairandcold]

'So it seems. How did you come here?'

[dragon_dealer]

"I was walking through some enchanted caves on an errand. Took a wrong turning, I gather."

[fairandcold]

'Enchanted caves? Do you think it was some spell?'

[dragon_dealer]

"Oh, probably. But they're always enchanted, so it wasn't as if this was some special occasion."

[fairandcold]

'That is odd.'

[dragon_dealer]

"Well, there are places in my world that are. Were. The Enchanted Forest, obviously, and the caves."
