Missed Bacon

Neither were sure how long they stood. Embracing each other as Skye cried out her years of built up frustration. The quiet splash of the fountain and Skye's hushed voice were the only sounds in the courtyard. It was as if even the birds didn't want to intrude on their moment.. That was when Peggy came bustling in. Too shocked to move or speak on the scene before her.

The sight of Skye quietly sobbing let Peggy know that everything had been set right. Her bairn hadn't cried since her father had snapped her from her grief. She had existed like a spirit who had been forcefully bound to this world for just over two years. Skye had waited every day for Tidas to return, from the moment he left. She'd ride out on that monstrous beast everyday; always in the same direction. And more than once; Peggy had to track her down by the loch, on the lord's orders.
