Ædre dropped her brush when she heard someone call out “hello?” She glanced around quickly wondering if there was any way of escape. She realized there were none and huddled closer to Leta. The strange man walked into the stable and started talking to her. She barely looked at him and heard very little of what he said.
“She’s very beautiful. Does she like treats?”
Ædre noticed that he seemed to be waiting for an answer so she nodded her head in thanks and in answer to his question.
She then stuttered “I am sorry. I must go,” as she ran past him and out of the stable.
