a little help

Roan listened carefully but he wasn’t sure that he’d be able to remember everything he was being told. He had confidence he wouldn’t screw anything up too bad. At least the cottage was made from stone, if he started a fire they’d be mostly okay. He just didn’t want to upset her stomach or cause worse symptoms.

He really didn’t expect Meadow’s easy affection, she assured him that they were family though and he leaned against her lightly before she pulled away. Roan wasn’t a man of many words, but he grinned. She was a sweet woman, and another support beam to the family. ”And I will show you gratitude, every time.” He told her with a short nod of his big head as she raced away.

Roan reclined onto his haunches and stretched languidly while he waited, his mind returning to Iolaire as he recited his instructions inwardly until her return. He nodded in acceptance as she told him about the honey and mentioned one last thing. ”Just one more minute.” Roan grinned at her teasingly as he winked.
