The outsider (Modern / Forest)

[Duchess Marie]

Rain did not know who that was, but she agreed with her father anyway. "Some people should be punished by their parents."  

[Reciter5613]

"Well anyway, tell your mother I might take a while here."  

[Duchess Marie]

Rain nodded and left to go see Salina again, but she was starting to wonder how safe her home was going to be. She ran up to her mother.  

[Reciter5613]

Salina just hung up the phone and looked at Rain. "So how is your father?"  

[Duchess Marie]

"He is talking with the soldiers about fighting. Mom, do you think that people are going to come and hurt us?"  

[Reciter5613]

"Who knows? But best to be ready for it. So anyway Kire was talking to me about Malcome. What do you think of him?"  

[Duchess Marie]

"Cousin Macolm? He is very nice, but very quiet. I really like his art; I wish I could draw, too. I think I like playing with Kaelyn just to see him a little."  

[Reciter5613]

"Well he does need to get his spirits back up. He was down about something I while ago."  

[Duchess Marie]

"Malcome is sad? Why? Is he sick? His mother and brother are healers, are they helping? Maybe I should go check on him."  

[Reciter5613]

"He was just depressed awhile ago but got over it. He just need a moral boost to get his smile back."  

[Duchess Marie]

"Oh...so is there something I can do to help?"  

[Reciter5613]

"it would be good to visit him."  

[Duchess Marie]

"Can I go now? To the Blackhoof village," she asked eagerly.  

[Reciter5613]

"Well, when we can make time."  

[Duchess Marie]

"As soon as we can?" This was agreeable to Rain.
