Chapter 12
As soon as Nuline had Myfanwy's bedroll out, Eibhleann lead her sister over and laid her down in it.
'Just relax and sleep. Nuline and I will get everything ready and take the watches. Do you want to be woken for dinner?' Eibhleann asked her. Myfanwy just groaned and hid her head under the blanket. 'I'll take that as a no.'
Later on into the night Eibhleann and Nuline were talking to each other.
'So how did you find my sister, and how did you end up as her apprentice?' Eibhleann asked.
'Well, I was orphaned early on and then when you reach a certain age you get kicked out. But in my case there were too many coming in, and I was the oldest. It was ok there. I was forced to cook for all the others and basically run the place because everyone else wasn't bothered but I was ok with that all,' Nuline said and threw another log onto the fire. 'How did you end as a ranger? And then I will say how I ended up as Myfanwy's apprentice.'
'Well, I was also in a ward. And then one day, I was found by Will, well both of us were and then Myfanwy ended up going to train with Gilan and I stayed with Will. Your turn,' Eibhleann quickly summarised.
'Well when I was walking along the road, half dead by then, Myfanwy saw me and let me rid her horse, and eat some of her food, until the next town. When we got there, they believed for some odd reason that I was a witch and we left as soon as possible. One day I just asked her if I could stay with her and she shrugged and said that she guessed so. Then she explained everything to me and I said that I was ok with leaving my country and yeah…' Nuline trailed off, looking into the fire.
