*Maggie flickers in, perched on one of the chairs, leaning forward and speaking gently* Oh Will, of course ye . .. *She trails off once she sees she's seated in the Brink now and no longer on the edge of her son's bed.

*Bard doesn't notice Maggie—or much of anything— at first, as he's engrossed the huge book on his lap. At last, he shouts*
A-HA!

Oh! *Maggie starts a little at Bard's initial outburst, standing up and turning toward him. She hasn't the first clue what he was talking about, but she smiles, glad to see that he's feeling better than last she saw him* Bard, hello . .

*Bard winces and rubs his foot* It hurt my pride, mostly. Fortunately I don't have a lot of that left.

*Maggie looks slightly puzzled by that, but she bends to scoop the book off the floor, a little surprised by the weight of it* Gracious, 'tis quite a book.
*She studies the cover briefly, then asks, curious* Ye're with Mo? *She's only met the woman once, but couldn't help liking her*
