Re: HEADING OUT...SEEING A BIT OF IRONMOUND>
stepping up to the waist of the boat, she waves Luthien away, so she might be able to Row..
Two kids are fishing with battered poles, the bait they are using is in a broken wooded Mug, they don't seem to be having as much Luck...
Dala uses one oar , to spin the boat towards them... when they reach the two kids, they look a bit scared.....You fish here often?
the little girl nods her head, the boy has a tiny smile, he seems to be the oldest,This is a good place, no one picks on us here, if we fish from the wall.... we.. aren't doing too good today...
Dala smiles... she stands up and gets one of the serpents... she already had whacked its head, to kill it...stand by the wall there and Hold out your hands...
they moved back the full 10 yards to the wall....Catch! she tossed the serpent and the boy and girl grabbed for it, and , between the two of them, snagged it...
There...now? You can say you caught it, and will not be lying! she picks up what is left of thier own bait.. tightens the lid and tosses it to the wall so it won't fall into the water...
That should help...set your line deeper..the bass are going to shade now...
A warden was walking along he asked, 'Mlady? is everything alright?
quite!.... I am giving your a mission,, Sir Warden... when these children are done, you will escort them to thier home... No one takes the serpent from them, Unless thier parents wish to sell it...but it goes home with them, so thier parents may make that choice..
..as you say, M'Lady, they will make it home, with the serpent and anything else they catch this day...
The Boy points at her, a flicker of information seeped into his head....You are the pricness Rogue!
the warden looked away a bit embarrassed...
Dala laughed,..is that what i am known as?
the little girl nodded her head again her eyes alot bigger now.
The Boy , embolden a bit , said,aye , Your Highness.....they say you were born in the palace...but your heart is in the streets...
Dala smiles a bit, clearly touched...I was... and it is....what does your father do?
he works the docks near the inns, helping load and unload when they need people...
and your mother?
she dyes clothes for rich folks..but they don't pay her much
the clothing the kids had were rope-belted rag pants and homespun shits., they were clean...save for thier feed from walking in the mud on the shore.
She Looks at the warden...You will deliver this message to the children's mother....she is to report to the palace, with her children in the morning... I might have an opening with our clothing makers, where she might put her skills to good use.... she winks at the kids,and good pay...we must go now..Warden? make sure the Mother
Understands...
..I will not fail you, M'lady, I swear by the Black Timber...
she waves at the kids.. they stood there for a few moment s watching her row.... The the warden gegan to fuss with thier rods, showing them the best way to rig and cast...
Dala looked at Luthien,one serpent is plenty for two people, and we have enough other fish for a rather large course meal!
