Yay, Chapter! Own nothing.
"Is Celandine home?" Robin asked standing with Much at the cottage door step, his father Robert standing behind them. A week had passed since the accident happened, all that remained on Robin was a few scrapes and bruises.
The healer women with the grey eyes opened the door and smiled down at him. "Hello young man." She nodded to Robert who put his hand on Robin's shoulder. "She is indeed." She turned her head inside the door and called for her daughter. Celandine came smiling moments later.
"We were wondering…" Robin started and looked at Much who stood grinning, "Much and I, if you would like to play with us?"
The girl lost her smile and only stared at them a few moments. She glanced up at her mother.
"If you want too Cely you can." Her mother stated. Celandine nodded and looked back to the boys.
"Okay." She paused a moment, "But you will NOT tell me what I can't do because I am a girl." She warned peering at the taller boys. Robin shook his head and smiled, promising they would not.
"I am going to speak with her mother, be back soon." Robert stated as he walked past the children, "Robin, for goodness sake stay out of trouble. Celandine, young lady, you are in charge."
(meh:)
Celandine stood next to a small lake with the two boys listening to their argument of what to do.
"We can play swords?" Much stated.
"We always do that. Let's climb a tree?" Robin said shaking his blonde hair.
"We did that the other day."
"We can catch frogs?" Celandine chimed in. She smiled at the boys startled faces. They must have forgotten she was even there.
"Frogs?" Robin said a quizzical expression on his face.
"I do it all the time, and lizards, and worms." She explained, "Fish like worms." She fiddled with the fabric of her dress.
The boys stared at her as if they were questioning a new species of animal.
"Um, we can do that I guess." Robin said looking at the lake, "Your not afraid of getting your dress wet?"
"NO!" She stated walking towards the water, "The frogs hide in the grass by the stones right there." She pointed, "and the lizards and worms under the rocks. We can fish with them if you know how too?" She turned towards the boys a challenging look on her face.
"Of course we do, we don't have a poll though." He stated, "Perhaps whoever catches the biggest one wins? Worm, frog or lizard that is."
"Perhaps you should learn how to make a poll?" Celandine said walking back to him, "Shall I show you how?" She said raising an eyebrow in annoyance at the older boy.
Robin squinted his eyes at her, than glancing to Much who only shrugged.
"Well," He began thinking, "Perhaps you should…should…" He sighed.
"Should what?" She said folding her thin arms over her chest.
"Ugh! Forget it! Lets just find stupid frogs." Robin frowned as he kicked a rock towards the water before walking. Celandine sighed, braiding her hair as she fallowed.
"We could skip stones!" Much said before fallowing behind.
