Re: The Knight's Tale (Huldah)
Huldah rested against the tree as her breath slowed to a more normal rate. Still her heart and her mind raced with the events of the evening. What had the friar done to her father, he would never harm her she knew. But that look in his eyes as he was ordered to grab her said otherwise. She watched as one Daniel galloped off to the forest alone and as the male companion sped off back towards the town. Strange she thought as she watched them, though she and the horse's breath steamed in the cold air it seemed that the knight's did not.
She looked at the female companion who she assumed must be Emma as she got down from her horse and moved to where she could watch Daniel as he sped off. The contrast of her dark hair and dreadfully pale skin made her almost look like a ghost as she stood there silently. She turned and listened as Huldah suggested she should go with Daniel but simply shook her head as she aloofly said.
"Daniel can take care of himself I assure you. Not to mention I dare not gainsay my commander's orders. If he wishes you to remain safe then it will be done."
