Laurie chatted to Pio about Farmer Maggot for a few minutes, but soon realized that she was only half listening; her mind was elsewhere. Laurie didn't really mind, so she fell silent letting her thoughts wander to and fro. It was nice to just sit down for a little while, especially so near to the warm hearth. Laurie stretched out her feet towards the fire with a low groan and closed her eyes just for a moment, in order to think more clearly.
