She sat upon the ground staring up at the clear sky above. The moonlight reflected softly off her ebony hair, making her pale skin seem to glow.
He stopped a few paces away. Such beauty was not often found. Taking a cautious step closer, he sees she is crying. "M'lady?"
Startled she turns quickly.
"I am sorry, m'lady, I did not mean to startle thee. . .Is there anything wrong? Such beauty should not be spoiled by tears."
Breathing heavily trying to calm her nerves she smiles sadly. "No, nothing is wrong. I was merely remembering. . ." She trails off as she returns to the past.
He nods. "I see. Then I shall leave thee m'lady." He turns to go. As he turns, she calls out. Why, she does not know. "No. Please, stay awhile. I just get so lonely sometimes. . .It would be nice to have some company."
"As thee wish." He comes, bows before her and sits on the ground at her feet. "May I ask why you cry m'lady?"
