She rode on Crow, following Count Amaury at a painstakingly slow pace. They plodded on, and she heard her men yawn behind her. Turning in the saddle, she glowered at them and told them to be quiet and polite. She turned back to watch Amaury, and was about to ask him how long it would be until they got there... when she saw a mansion of sorts before them. They approached, and soon Danielle found herself dismounting, and handing Crow off to a stable boy. Crow looked like he was about to bite the boy's hand off, but with a few soft words Dani calmed the stallion. She followed Amaury up to the entrance, and stepping inside, looked around with a look of awe on her face.
Danielle turned to her liege and smiled. "Well, m'lord, what a fantastic home you have! Where might I be staying?"
Lady Danielle Lisieux
(Dame of Ciarin Tut)
Amaury looked at Danielle, then motioned for a servant to come. He told the boy to collect her belongings and have them taken to the guest quarters, and to make sure the stablemaster tended to her horse personally. The boy nodded and left, and Amaury turned back to Danielle.
"M'lady, I hope your men won't mind sharing the barracks with mine.", he said, "Otherwise they'll have to stay encamped outside, and straw mattresses are more comfortable than grass, are they not?", he added with a smile.
Danielle nodded politely. "That'll be fine, m'lord."
He clapped his hands together and smiled again. "Excellent. My servants will see to it that your quarters are made ready post haste."
He paused for a moment, and worked up the courage to add "In the mean time... would you care for some tea in the gardens? The flowers are all blossoming, it's quite a lovely sight."
Amaury Capet
Count of Ciarin Tut
She nodded and agreed that her men could bunk with his in the barracks. A man took her things and hurried them off to another part of the building. Well the service was certainly nice.... Danielle turned back to Amaury, and found that a small blush had colored his cheeks. She smiled and curtsied as she accepted his invitation to tea. He seemed so, so shy about it!
"Of course m'lord, I would love to join you for tea. It is nice to know a man can appreciate natural beauty."
She smiled with a bit of girlish charm and held out motioned for him to lead her on. "Let's be off then!" And then, Danielle giggled.
