Good bye,” she said turned from the young man. “Again I am sorry. I will talk to Miss Margaret about him. He should not speak to any of you like that. That was completely unacceptable.” (Jaimie) Jaimie opened his mouth to say something but then closed it again, not knowing what to say.? Lord Callum would expect him to obey whatever Mistress Sam asked of him.? But he couldn't stand by and allow such improper familiarity - not to mention insult - shown to Lord Callum, especially from a mere guest?

(Branson) "To be honest, I could hardly understand a single thing he said," Branson said with a chuckle after Jaimie had left.? "Actually, I'm kind of amazed that you can." "So, who's this Callum fellow you're talking about?" he said, coming up behind Scheherezade and slipping his arms around her waist.? "One of the locals who's up on his castle lore?" He smiled as he nuzzled her ear.? "Should I be jealous?" (Jaimie, Callum) Callum looked up when Jaimie suddenly appeared next to him where he was waiting outside of what had long ago been the castle stables.? "Ah, Jaimie lad.? Did you find Scheherezade?? And did you give her my message?" "Aye, m' laird," the young ghost said, fidgeting awkwardly sounding apologetic.? "Ah tellt her. Bit a'm feart she is displeased wi' me." "Why, lad?"? Callum asked, looking concerned.? "Did you say or do something to upset her?" "Yin o' her mukkers wis speaking in a maist disrespectful manner," Jaimie said, sounding highly distressed.? "He spoke o' ye as if? ye wur a servant! Callum raised an eyebrow, looking more amused than annoyed.? "Did he now? Well, that will certainly give us something to talk about when ah show her about."

One of them, the younger one, was, ah believe, an ancestor of yours." "But the castle is far older than that," Callum went on, gesturing at the surrounding grounds as he began walking Sam around the estate.? "The oldest parts date back to the time of the first Stuarts. Before the ones ye most likely know of when they became monarchs of the United Kingdom. But as ye can see, more was added as the years passed. The lairds of this estate were uncommon lucky that the wars that beset much of the land at that time did not reach the walls of this particular castle. Which allowed the lairds of the time the luxury of choosing to enhance its more esthetic qualities rather than its defensive ones." Scheherezade, Friends Scheherezade smiled as the walked listening and absorbing everything he was saying. “It’s beautiful. I love the gardens. I can tell they were once so beautiful. I want to make them beautiful again.” When he mentioned her ancestor, she nodded.??“Yes, her name is Aroywn Janines. Apparently when she arrived in America she had nothing and went to work in the home of a wealthy family in New York City. She married the oldest son.”Jaimie showed me her portrait. My friends think I look a lot like her.” Tag

My friends think I look a lot like her.” (Callum) "Ah hope you will make them beautiful once more," Callum said, nodding to Scheherezade's aspirations.? "If there is aught ah can do, please do not hesitate to ask." His mouth quirked wryly.? "Ah would offer to have Jaimie assist you, but he's a bit bound to the castle. He does'na like to leave it unless it's absolutely necessary." "Did she, now?" the laird said, raising an eyebrow.? "We had wondered what had become of her after--" he paused in mid-sentence, then quickly continued "--after she left. It is good to know that fate treated her kindly."? He turned to face the young lady, giving her a studied look.? "Yes, there is indeed a strong resemblance.? But ah think it goes deeper than your mere appearance. In truth, there is a notable difference, particularly in your complexion.? It's the eyes, I think. And things in your general expression and way of moving."? He grew somber for a moment.? "It's like ah can feel Arowyn within you." Callum hesitated, as if weighing the action in his mind, then reached out and gently, cautiously, took Scheherezade's hand, like it was a fragile soap bubble that might burst into nothing if handled too directly.? When it did not and he felt the solid warmth of it, a mix of relief and wonder crossed his face, and he bowed to kiss the back of her fingers.? "Ah bid you welcome home, soul of Arowyn."

"Ah bid you welcome home, soul of Arowyn." ?- Scheherezade - Sam smiled. “Jaimie is not too happy with me now so I doubt he would want to help me with anything. I will give him some time to cool off. He did save my life the other night so maybe he and I share a bond that will allow him to forgive me...or at the very least understand that I am the rudeness is never the answer and gentle scolding of him was to help him understand that for someone who is all about propriety, being rude to the hostess guess is never a good thing.” “Well I do not know if fate favored her. All I know is that she married into a wealth family. And somehow she is my grandmother on my mother’s side. I actually have no idea what her life was like. I hope it was indeed good. I can only imagine what it must be like to be in a new place all alone. Attempting to navigate a new world. I At least I have my friends. And you have all been so nice to me.” When he turned to face her she stopped and turned to him. There was something about him that felt so familiar. So comforting. She smiled at his words, her own hand reaching up to touch his cheek. “Thank you. Callum. It is good to be home.” |

"Ah'm sure he was not meaning to be disrespectful.? It's just... Jaimie has a strong attachment to the castle. And to the old ways it represents.? He tends to be very protective of both."? His mouth quirked a little as he added "And of you as well, though it may not have seemed like it. Give him a chance to serve and ah believe he will not disappoint you." His eyes grew wide when Scheherezade's fingers touched his cheek.? And he _felt_ it!? A surge of unexpected possibilities filled his heart at this apparent confirmation of his ability to touch her without passing through her.? He had never been able to do that with anyone else before.? Truly this young American woman was, somehow, the re-embodiment of his Arowyn.? It was the only explanation. "Shall... shall we continue our walk?" the laird managed finally, offering his arm in a courtly manner.? "There is much still to be seen, and it would be mah honor to show you." Tag - Scheherezade |

?- Scheherezade- Sam also felt the connection. Like a part of her was home. It was strange because she wasn't a very sentimental person. Losing both her parents did that...knocked all the sentimentality out of her. But there was something about this man that felt familiar. "No," Scheherezade said of him offering to talk to Jaimie. "Thank you buy no. I order for this to work, Jaimie and I will have to come to find common ground on our own. That will take us talking this through. After our walk, I will go look for him and he and I will work this out. But thank you for offering," she said with a smile. And with a nodded, Sam took his arm. "I am excited. There is so much of the grounds I can see from my window. I wish to know about everything. Oh, and do you think we can add the turret to our tour?"? |

(Callum) Callum hesitated when Scheherezade expressed an interest in the turret.? There was little doubt in his mind as to which one she meant.? "Ah don't think you would like it much," he said after a moment, glancing back to where the tower in question loomed over the rest of the castle.? "No one does, really. It's an ill-favored place, and those rare souls who venture there feel it.? Ah would'na recommend it. Truly, ah wouldn't." ? "Ah know a place you might like better," he said, cocking his head towards a spot further out on the castle grounds.? "Tis a quiet and lovely spot, where a lively streams runs.? There are some ruins there, now.? Ruins of a mill.? It fell into disrepair some generations back.? Ah often thought of having it rebuilt, but it would hardly have been worth the effort.? The days when it was needed to mill grain are long past.? And truth be told, it makes for quite a picturesque ruin.? There was a time when young couples liked to visit it on the sly, it being conveniently close to the castle to reach by walking but far enough away to allow privacy." Callum looked to Scheherezade with an expression of polite inquiry.? "Would you care to see it?" Tag - Scheherezade |

"Would you care to see it?" ?- Scheherezade - She listened to what he said but frowned. “But how can I make renovation to it if i never visit it or go see it.” She asked him. So many people see admit about keeping her from going up into the tower. Jaimie mention how she needed to stay away from the tower. Even Greyson this morning said that it gave him the heebee geebees.? She would think more on it later. For now she smiled at the mention of the beautiful place he described. “It sounds lovely. Yes I?would love to see it. “ Sam said still holding his arm. “Lead the way.” |

But I would'na advise going into it, especially not by yourself.? It is a fell, ill-omened place, a taint that casts an evil shadow over the entire estate." ? He seemed relieved when Scheherezade turned her attention to the ruins he'd suggested.? The touch of her arm on his, while immensely pleasing, was still strange.? A puzzlement. His only thought was that it was yet another sign that his beloved Arowyn had somehow returned to him in the body of this American, and it was because of that that he could touch her and she him. "It was a different place, then," Callum went on as they resumed walking.? "The castle was the center of life in the county, both economic life and social life. As a result, many social gatherings were held here, making the castle hum with life."? It was only a short walk to where the ruins lay next to the noisy little stream that ran across the estate.? "And as I said, this place was a favorite for young courting couples to sneak away to, out of sight of their elders but close enough to hear if someone was calling for them.? Ah've often wondered how many betrothals were cemented here." He grinned impishly as he added "And how many first-borns were conceived here as a result." Tag - Scheherezade |

She didn’t want to be one of those folks but she was definitely curious. That would be something she would have to consider another time because the beauty and majesty of where they now stood was captivating. “It’s beautiful. I could see why two lovers could be seduced by the simply beauty of the spot.” She said stepping away from him to begin to explore the sight. As she did, she closed her eyes and it was as if she was transported back to such a time. |
