She only be vaguely heard what he said. But she did hear was The sentiments of Jaimie¡¯s words. Callum was not here with her. He was off wanting life to be normal again... life would never be normal again... why could he not see that!?
Why was he rejecting her pain? Why was he turning his back on their children as if they were nothing to him??
?Sheep...Sheep!

(Jaimie)
Jaimie finished collecting the tray, his heart heavy.? He thought of saying something, but he couldn't think of anything to say that wouldn't be out of place or above his station.? Finally he just bowed dutifully and left the room.? Brutus was waiting for him in the hall.? A look at his master's face was enough to make the young hound despondent as well.??
"Tis dowie times we're huvin, Brutus," Jaimie sighed as he made his way down the tower stairs, the hound following behind him.? "Dowie times indeed."
* Translation of Jaimie-speak.? "It's sad times we're having, Brutus.? Sad times indeed."

(Callum)
Callum blinked, then looked around in momentary confusion.? It was like a memory, but more than a memory.? When he looked back, it was Scheherezade that was standing before him, not Arowyn.
"Ah beg your pardon, Mistress Scheherezade," he said apologetically.? "Ah fear my mind went elsewhere for a moment.? These lands are steeped with a lot of... family history.? And not all of it is worth recalling."? He favored her with a wan smile and bowed his head slightly.? "Ah beg your forgiveness."??
