Sleepy Fox Hollow I wish you could be honest

She was not alone for long. A voice made her pause, and she turned to look at him. He was the one that was with Maegi and her companion that day on the borders. He was about the same age as her own children. Her heart ached at the memory of her missing sons and daughter. She wondered how they looked now that they were almost yearlings. Stag was already so handsome even in his lanky stage, and she wondered if the others looked similar to him. It was too painful to dwell on for too long. She pushed the sad thought away and dipped her head to the young man. Good morning, she offered. I was patrolling, the Kapitän said next. Would you like to join me? Or did you need something? Maybe he had sought her out because he had a problem. If not, she wondered if he had been taught anything about patrolling or guarding the borders at his old home. Regardless, she was happy to teach him or help him with a problem should he have one.
