Chapter Four: Getting to Know You
"For a woman, you have had a lot of training." Eoin said with an amused smile. "Yes well, I have many talents." I told him. "Thank you." I said to the slightly nervous man, handing me a drink. He nodded and gave me a weak smile. "I owe her my life." Riskin told them. "You were saying that you were from the future? And how is that possible?" Cowan asked me with a raised brow. I took a deep breath and slightly frowned. "I'm not sure really."
"I was walking by the river when I saw Riskin floating face down. At first I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, for my nearest neighbor is at least a hundred miles away. When I realized that it was a person, I went in after him. Even in water you heavy." I told him with a smile. "Anyway by the time I got him to land and saw his wounds he had started to come about. He kept trying to warn me about Woads. I half carried half pulled him back to my house. There I patched him up, all the while he was passing out and coming to only to try and fight me saying he had to get back and help the others."
"Three days later he finale came around and stayed awake, thank goodness. It took a little while to convince me that he was from the past. We were walking down by the river when he jumped in. I thought the idiot was trying to kill himself so I jumped in after him. Next thing I know he is pulling me out of the water. Then things went black. I came around to meet the lovely newly transferred Roman soldiers." I said rubbing the back of my head.
"How did you know they're new?" Malvin asked. I smiled. "I didn't, not until Riskin told me that they get transferred every couple of years. I guessed by there manners." I said taking a sip of my drink. It was wine. "Do you not care for wine?" Arthur asked me. " I don't drink that often." I told him. "Well why not?" Galahad asked almost offend. "Don't have much wine where I am from." "No wine? Riskin, you were hurt and you didn't get any wine, poor bastard." Jarl exclaimed. "I had something much better, my friend what was it you did?" Riskin asked. "I used pressure points to help with the pain and I had some pan relievers." I told them. "Pressure points?" Arthur asked me. "Yes, I used them on the all so nice guard earlier. They can be used many different ways." I told him.
"Do all women of you time wear such clothing?" Lancelot asked raising a brow. I looked down at what I wore. I had on black knee high heeled boots, under black leather pants that laced up the side showing some skin, a deep green shirt the went down to the middle of thighs with slits on each side and the sleeves that ended an inch past my finger tips. My dark brown curly hair was in a ponytail that ended just below my hips. I smirked, "Usually more," I smiled as his smiled dropped a fraction. "Or less. Depends on the women your talking about."
"It's hard to believe that I have been gone for a month." Riskin said gulping at his wine. Suddenly he look at me. "Are you going to stay here? Or are you going to try to go back?" He asked looking sad. I sighed and looked at him for a long moment. "What do I have to go back to? My life was already changing when you came into it." He frowned. "So it looks like you stuck with me for now." I told him.
"Jols!" Arthur called out. The nervous man that gave me my drink came back into the room. "Please have a room ready for Lillian." He nodded and left. "Arthur you can call me Lily. He nodded and looked at the rest of the men. Turning back to me he asked, "Would you like to train with us in the morning?" I would love to." I told him finishing off my wine. "Well if you all don't mind I am going to go to bed. Have fun catching up" I told Riskin. "I'll show to your room." Tristan said walking over to me. I smiled, "Thank you." And fallowed him out the door.
Well sorry it has been so long, I got a new computer and it only had notepad. Thank you all for the reviews. And thank you Gitana Dragon it was a spelling mistake, that I missed. I can't believe I missed it. I even reread the chapter. Hope fully this chapter doesn't have an spelling errors. I so I am truly sorry, I am a horrible speller.
P.s. I planned to update again later this week depending on my work schedule.
