Chapter
Honeysuckle had wondered about Jaybird comment, so she decided to ask. Jaybird's answer surprised her greatly.
"I was married three times. Two of them left me and the third...he died." Jaybird rubbed her arms, "The first guy, we got married cause we had to. He left with a women prettier then me. The second guy...he said he loved me. I found out he was cheating on me and he was already married, so our marriage was null...The third guy died protecting me from Orcs, that time when I was gone for a couple of years. None of the marriages ever produced children."
Honeysuckle hugged Jaybird, "I think you are beautiful." She smiled at her cousin then said, "I am sorry about them...was that before you became a World Walker?"
Jaybird looked thoughtful, "The first and second where before, the third...I brought him back with me. I went to a place called Earth, the guy was a gentlemen and when he found out I was leaving he became distraught..I told him I could bring him with me. Which turned out bad, he died...We had only been married about a month."
Honeysuckle hugged Jaybird again then said, "Lets not be too depressed...Oh, we left Uncle Fili! Come on, lets go find him."
They found Fili cornering a dwarf that was known for flirting and laying with young dwarf women, Fili's eyes where on fire so they knew something must have happened. Fili was growling, "You listen, if you ever get that close to Moonbeam again I will make sure you can never reproduce."
The dwarf shook underneath the anger of Fili, nodding and stuttering, "Y-yes s-s-sir."
Moonbeam was shivering and hiding behind the cook, who was equally as angry. The cook berated the young impudent dwarf, "How dare you come into my kitchens and harass young Moonbeam! She does not want nor need your attentions, go flirt with a needy Bar maid!"
The dwarf fled from the cook only to be caught by Fili again, who said in a dangerous voice, "If I ever catch you anywhere near Lady Denilah, Moonbeam, Lady Westrea, Honeysuckle, or Jaybird I will personally kill you."
The dwarf nodded vigorously, "Yes sir!"
Fili released him and let the dwarf flee, glaring after him. Fili looked at Moonbeam and said in a gentle voice, "Moonbeam, are you alright?"
Moonbeam nodded then shivered again, "He was too close. He touched me...it was too much like..." Jaybird came over and put her arm around Moonbeam.
"Don't worry Moonbeam, you just stick close to me and Fili, we will keep you safe." Jaybird gently led Moonbeam back to her rooms, "You can calm down in my room, I will bring you some warm milk and honey."
Honeysuckle looked at Fili, "Jaybird would make a great mom...did Moonbeam panic?"
Fili rubbed his hands over his face, "He had her trapped against a table and was touching her in places he shouldn't. She screamed at him then started struggling...I punched him before berating him. The cook was shocked and didn't know what to do until I had him cornered."
Honeysuckle nodded then looked at Jaybird as she came back, "Is Moonbeam going to be okay?"
Jaybird looked uncertain, "She was pretty shook up, but I think she will be fine. Honeysuckle, can you go in there with her? Keep her company while I get her milk and talk to your cousin?"
Honeysuckle nodded then ran off to be with Moonbeam. Jaybird looked at Fili and said, "She had a brief flashback after the man touched her. She knew what was about to happen."
Fili nodded then said, "She will be okay though, right?"
Jaybird nodded then said, "Yeah, she is a tough girl. However, after today I am going to give her a dagger and teach her how to use it."
Fili smiled and nodded, "That would be wise.
Honeysuckle was combing and braiding Moonbeams hair, knowing that it would be comforting, "Its okay, Moonbeam, that man won't hurt you. My cousin made sure of that."
Moonbeam was slowly relaxing, "I wish I hadn't yelled like that."
Honeysuckle shook her head over and over, "No, it was good that you yelled. The cook and Fili noticed when you did and came to the rescue."
Moonbeam grabbed a handkerchief and wiped her eyes then blew her nose, "I suppose it was good...I am glad that man is scared."
Jaybird knocked then came in, handing Moonbeam the milk, "There you go."
Moonbeam drank it and gave Jaybird a smile, "Thank you, my friend."
Jaybird smiled then said, "Your welcome." Then she said more seriously, "Not all men are like that you know, so don't let what he did shape your opinion of them."
Moonbeam nodded then gave a soft smile, "I know, Fili already changed my opinion on them."
