- Given @dovemctavish.bsky.social's temper, it was more than likely not a journey he'd necessarily wanted his Laird to take.*

I must admit, however, that a warm meal after such a long ride would be most welcome. I do hope that your @potsisthename.bsky.social will not be displeased by my arrival.

- truly far my village was from the castle. We must be on the far borders of your lands.

*I could only imagine the danger it must put the Laird in to travel so far. It must be why I've not heard of him making the journey often, most would travel to the castle rather than see him travel abroad. -
August 30, 2025 at 1:49 AM
*I felt the tension from @dovemctavish.bsky.social like a splash of cold water straight from a stream. It was as close to a chastisement as I could receive without the man usurping the Laird's position. If I could feel smaller than I did in that moment, it would surprise me.*

I never realized how -

- out of a fairytale!

*It had to be the play of light against the mist and fog between us and the castle itself, along with the distance that still remained. It didn't matter, the sight took my breath away and I found myself excited now, more than anxious, to arrive.*
August 30, 2025 at 12:08 AM
- just how badly I was blushing, how embarrassed I was. I mumbled an apology, turning my head to glance back with a shy, nervous smile.

When I turned forward again, I noticed the spires of the castle rising above the trees in the distance. I gasped, mouth falling open.*

My heavens! It's straight -

- library itself to keep me away.

I'd relaxed so much whilst daydreaming that I didn't realize I had relaxed back against the Laird's chest, my humming returning absently until I felt the man shift uncomfortably. It broke my reverie and snapped me back to attention. Thankfully, no one could see -
August 30, 2025 at 12:08 AM
- Laird or even Mr. McTavish. My duties must come first. Perhaps I'd be able to find a bit of spare time in the evenings before bed to find my way to the library and spend some time there. It wasn't as if I were afraid of the dark. Surely there were no monsters hidden within the castle or the -

*My mind wandered with dreams of this mythical library that stretched further than I could ever fathom. Candelabra scattered upon tables did little to chase back the shadows that hid the treasures upon the shelves. I would need to treat this as the reward it was. I would hate to disappoint the -
August 30, 2025 at 12:08 AM
- *I immediately imagined a roomed filled with cobwebs, dust, and hidden monsters lurking in the shadows between me and those precious books.*
June 28, 2025 at 1:56 AM
- threatened to wallop me. But the thought of a library within the same walls as me? My heart was fit to burst!*

A library? Oh, M'lord, if ye grant me permission, I would be eternally grateful. If, of course, I have time after my duties. I would never think to neglect those. And it's locked up? -
June 28, 2025 at 1:56 AM
- with excitement!*

I've been told I'm vera good wi' th' harpsichord. I can even read the music sheets if ye've got any but I know many a hymnal by heart.

*I rattled on for too long, realizing too late and snapping my mouth shut. My eyes went wide. My father would've snapped at me by now, even -
June 28, 2025 at 1:56 AM
It's an old lullaby me mum used t' sing when I was a wee girl.

*I bit the inside of my cheek, blushing with embarrassment. They already thought me a child and this would undoubtedly make it even worse for me. But, the moment instruments were mentioned... and then a library? I nearly vibrated -
June 28, 2025 at 1:56 AM
- upset Mr. McTavish more.

Settling into an easy silence, it was only a matter of minutes before I began to hum softly to myself, thinking that the sounds of the horses were enough to drown it out so that neither man would be offended by it.*
June 28, 2025 at 1:17 AM
- if I didn't focus on it, seemed to be both preparing me for my position within his domain but also to dislike how Mr. McTavish did the same. And Mr. McTavish seemed annoyed with how little I knew about the Laird's Castle. I couldn't tell if it was a sting to his own pride or to the Laird's that -
June 28, 2025 at 1:17 AM
- would greatly wish to be able to make myself a part of the staff without causing too much disruption.

*The two men made my head spin, but I would keep that to myself. The man behind me, heat radiating from him and creating the oddest of sensations that had my heart racing and breath hitching -
June 28, 2025 at 1:17 AM
*My brows shot up at the way the Laird reprimanded Mr. McTavish, but I quickly regained my wits about me. It wasn't my place to react, and I was certain Mr. McTavish would be unhappy if he had caught my reaction. I sincerely hoped he hadn't!*

I do appreciate the forewarning, Mr. McTavish. I -

June 28, 2025 at 12:26 AM
- somehow see one of the dangerous creatures Mr. McTavish was warning of lurking there in the shadows.*
June 28, 2025 at 12:43 AM
- the village, unless you count the world within the pages of books.

*A soft smile upon my lips, I suddenly felt quite out of place in the company of two gentlemen who seemed well-traveled. Shifting just enough to be able to look around better, I searched the distant tree line as if I could -
June 28, 2025 at 12:43 AM
- just a brief moment, I swore I caught him staring at me.

I must have been imagining things because no sooner did the thought register than he was staring off above my head, probably bored with our conversation..*

I must sound quite daft to ye. I apologize. I've never ventured beyond -
June 28, 2025 at 12:43 AM
- him, but for the Laird even more so. Title notwithstanding, to be responsible for such a castle and all the souls within was incredible in every way I could imagine. I turned to look at him, trying and hoping that my awe was disguised or at least muted enough not to annoy the man too much. For -

I've heard stories about the castle 'n read stories 'bout many more, but nay, I've never laid my eyes upon one. The largest building I can remember e'er walkin' inside would be the kirk, mind ye. *Listening to Mr. McTavish expound the wonders of the Dark Castle, I held a great respect not only for -
June 28, 2025 at 12:43 AM
- mean to sound daft, M'lord. *I must have sounded completely ungrateful to @darkgold1.bsky.social and @dovemctavish.bsky.social and could only imagine the scowls or condemnation I would receive for such an impudent question. I turned just enough to offer an apologetic smile to the man behind me.*
June 21, 2025 at 1:37 AM
- just that, tales!* The castle walls will be high enough protect us? *I had never laid eyes upon it or met another living soul who had ventured there. It was far more common to have the likes of @dovemctavish.bsky.social to come around to collect the rents for @darkgold1.bsky.social.* I dinna -

Four-legged? *Surely @dovemctavish.bsky.social was saying that to frighten me! But, then again, what time I had spent in the small town reading to the children and attending church had given me ample time to be exposed to stories of wolves. I had always assumed they were - @darkgold1.bsky.social
