...aughter has a way about her..." Reedren said, pulling a white hankerchief from is pocket. He dabbed at the furrows on his face and frowned at the scarlet blood on the white. "Hunters work from instinct. Once I'd brought her to Verano, I knew it was wrong. It took me several days to find her unattended. My Queen will have me executed for this, should she ever learn of it."

"He saved me, Mommy." Lilly puleld away briefly, and lay a hand on Deborah's cheek, touching the tracks of her mothers' tears. "He let me ride on a Unicorn!  and he smells much better than Curltusk."

"C-curl-tusk?" Deborah asked.

Lilly made an exxagerated frown."He's big and green and he smells funny. And his tusks go right over his head."

Deborah glanced up at Reedren. "He's a troll. What did you expect?" then, after a moment, he shrugged. "He's a babysitter."

After another awkward moment, Reedren ventured, "Do you want me to stay until your husband returns?"

Doug returns home...

Uh oh. No one's written this branch yet. :o
