At his words, Alana sighed. "I wanted to marry for love, like me parents. Their marriage is strong. I wanted somethin' like that. Like ye, though, I support the King and his choices. That's why I'm cooperating. That's also why I may seem angry at times, I'll get over it soon," she said with a shrug.<br/><br/>As they walked and he talked, she listened to what he was saying. Alana was surprised that he suggested to get to know each other better. That's not how she pictured their marriage working at all, but she wasn't going to lie and say she was disappointed. She was actually a bit relieved to hear him speak in a friendly manor. She wasn't going to say anything, just listen to him and soak up the information. That is, until he mentioned hunting. Alana looked up at him. "Never been hunting, but I can show ye how to get the best meat out of cows and pigs. A bit similar, ay?" she said.<br/><br/>At the mention of the bow, she shook her head. He was right, she didn't know how to use one. She didn't know how to use weapons at all, though she had used a shovel as one a few times when trespassers tried to steal from their fields. The memory of it made her smile a bit. When Duncan stopped, however, her smile faded a bit. "Right, enjoy your bath. Take your time, but don't keep me mother waiting too long. She worked hard on your meals, and she can get a little... moody," Alana said with a bit of a laugh before turning and starting back towards the house.<br/><br/>She barely got ten steps in before Arabela came running up to her. "Are they at the stream?" Arabela asked.<br/><br/>"Yep, just got there. Ye come lookin' for me?"<br/><br/>"No. Lets go watch!" Arabela said before starting towards the stream. She was stopped by Alana's hand on her arm, though.<br/><br/>"Arabela McNally, what has gotten into ye today? Why would we watch, we aren't children."<br/><br/>"Highlander men are strong and handsome, you've seen that. I wasn't chosen, so I don't get to see. A little peek won't hurt, besides, aren't ye a little curious about your husband to be?"<br/><br/>Alana scowled at her sister. "I wouldn't want him peeking at me and I'm gonna offer him the same courtesy. Now come on, ye perverted child, before I tell Father what you're trying to do," she commanded before dragging her unwilling sister back to the house to await the men.
