Later that day Castien had managed to catch a nice bounty of fish. 9 Trout at least 3 pounds apiece. He knew he would eat well tonight and would have more to share with Aurora in a couple of days. It had been years since he had seen anyone else, living alone in the woods could be very lonely. Slowly he made his way through the brambles, taking special care to note the direction of the thorns. A few caught his clothes, but he managed to get through them without anymore cuts and scrapes. On his way back to his cottage Castien began thinking about the reason for being out here alone. Concern began to creep into his mind as he thought more about it. <What is she finds out? She will probably be afraid of me too, then I will lose my new friend. I best not tell her about the curse.> He continued to walk trying to put the thoughts out of his mind. He had finally made a new friend after years of solitude, he did not want to spoil it now.

Two days went by and Aurora found herself standing near the brambles again. She would surely get whipped again for coming out here. But, she felt that it was worth it. She didn't have many friends.

As he walked through the trees of his forest home, Castien carried his basket of fish on one arm and a blanket in the other. The only thing he could think about was Aurora and it was difficult for him to contain his excitement at seeing her again. He was determined to make the most of this new friendship as possible, who knew how long it might be before he got to meet someone new again. She seemed a bit quiet and reserved but very nice, and she was pretty as well, which was a bonus. He neared the patch of brambles and he could see her standing, waiting for him. His smile was uncontrolled and he felt his cheeks flush with anticipation. He propped the blanket onto his shoulder and waved as he said "Hi there, I'm so glad to see you made it. I hope you are hungry."

"I...yes....hi. " She smiled softly and offered to take the basket. In a quick movement she snagged it from him and slides through the bushes smoothly.

Laughing at the fact that she moved through the thorns with such ease he said "Now that's not fair, wait for me." He then began to slowly pick his way carefully through the brambles taking care once again to pay attention to their direction. By the time he reached the other side he found Aurora sitting on a rock with the basket nearby. He smiled at her again and with a smooth movement laid the blanket out on a flat bit of ground. He then motioned for her to move to the blanket.

She moves to the blanket and pulls the basket over with her. Off her belt she pulls a small pouch and dumps out a bunch of blueberries into a small pile next to her. "I stol.....I mean...here. to repay you for the bread. "

Trying to pretend as though he had not heard her slip he smiled, "No need to repay me it was my pleasure. I have not seen anyone out this way in so long, to be honest it was more kind of a way to try and keep you around. It seems like it worked and that makes me happy. The woods can be a lonely place when you have no one to talk too for a long time." Reaching into the basket, Castien began to pull out plates and eating utensils made of wood. He then took out 3 bundles of cloth. The first he unwrapped had 2 cooked trout which he placed on the plates. The second revealed another loaf of bread and the third a jar of jam. He then took out a pair of cups frokm the basket and walked to the pool of water to fill them.

She looked at the food with wide eyes. "You...that's a lot of food." She said softly. Then shaking herself she asked, "you live out here alone?"

He returned with the filled cups and handed one to her. "Yes, for some time now I have been out here alone. This is really not much food, I caught the fish the other day after you left and I baked the bread this morning. The jam I have been saving for a special occasion. I figured it doesn't get much more special than this around here." He smiled again. "So tell me a bit about yourself. Where are you from? What do you do?" he tore off a piece of bread and spread some jam on before beginning to eat it.

Shrugging she says, "I live in the town not to far from here. There isn't much more to me then that. I dont...um...have much else to say. " looking out to the water then back to him, she watched him eat.

"Really not much more to you than that huh? Do you work? what do you do for fun? What is town like nowadays? Which town are you from? There must be something else you can tell me." he pressed with a tone of doubt in his voice. He spread some jam on another piece of bread and handed it to her, then began to cut up the fish.

"Uh...I do work. I'm uh..." she cleared her throat. "...town, is called Neatnil. " She took the bread and it was gone in two bites. "What about you? Any reason why your out here al by yourself? "

"Oh, um..." he thought for a moment. "I love nature, and no one from town comes out here, or at least I thought no one did until two days ago." he said shifting a little uncomfortably. "You seem very hungry, did you skip breakfast in anticipation of our meal?" he changed the subject abruptly and then drank some water. He handed her the plate of cut up fish with a wooden fork, then began to eat his own.

She blushed and took the plate, "no, I uh...haven't eaten in a while. My master was not. ..happy with me. " She started eating slowly.

Castien cocked his head a little and between bites said "Your Master?"

She blushed and put the fork down. Then nodded slowly. "Yes, he owns me. "

He stopped chewing and put his plate down, a look of disbelief in his eyes. He swallowed hard and said "HE OWNS YOU?!? You are a slave? That is unacceptable! There must be something that can be done to free you from him!" She could tell he was growing more agitated as he spoke. He stood up and walked a few steps away from her, then turned back and rushed to her reaching out for her hand. "We must fix this." He stated as a matter of fact.

She leaned back away from him. "I am...my family sold me to pay a debt. It's not unusual. Or so I'm told. " he was making her feel odd being so close.

Seeing her become uncomfortable he backed away from her. In a quiet voice he said "That is still not acceptable. No on should own another person. I don't care what the reasons are for them selling you, it should have never been an options." A low growl began to sound from deep in his chest as he reached the end of his sentence. At that point his breath was heaving and he turned away from Aurora. He grunted a couple of times then ran at the brambles with wild abandon, pushing his way through the thorns without seeming to care about any damage they might be causing.

Her jaw dropped at his reaction and his leaving. She wasn't sure how to react. Going back to the blanket she sat down and decided to wait until he calmed down...she was not good with anger, she had the scars to show that all over her back. And hips.
