Marion trudged down the hill towards where the trees hid the little creek that passed through their land. She listened in on the conversation, only being a couple steps ahead of the group of men. She made a face as they started talking about her sister, thinking it was quite odd. She found herself gritting her teeth when her husband-to-be stated agreed with his cousin, stating that she was pretty. She couldn't help the feeling of jealousy that bubbled it's way up and squeezed her heart. Stomping up the hill she planned to put some distance between her and the men, no longer wanting to hear them talking about her sister in such a way.<br/><br/>It was moments later and she saw the creek up ahead, hearing the light rush of it. She smiled softly, remembering all the times she and her family had gone down and swam in that same creek on hot days after a long day of work. She felt her heart squeeze at the thought of possibly never seeing her family farm again, never being able to set foot in this same creek.<br/><br/>Her thoughts were interrupted by the quick, heavy footfall of men. She turned to face back to see what they were doing and her innocent eyes widened and she let out a squeak, skittering out of the way as the group of men ran naked past her, practically diving into the water. She quickly averted her eyes, her whole face was burning with embarrassment. She couldn't believe they would do such a thing in front of a young lady like herself. Maybe she had been wrong, maybe they were just savage men with no mind of the people they could be affecting.<br/><br/>She quickly turned on her heels and took her leave, practically sprinting up the hill to get away from the array of naked men splashing around in the water. It wasn't long till she made it back to the farmstead, and into the kitchen to assist her mother in the kitchen, cutting vegetables and herbs for the large stew her mother had on the stove. When a knock came at the door her mother motioned for her to get it and Marion complied. She shuffled to the door and opened it a bit, peaking out and seeing Duncan there with his men. She opened the door wide and stepped to the side, gesturing for them to enter, "Ye may come in," she stated softly, eyes at the floor as thoughts of the creek snuck back into her head, causing blush to creep back up her neck.
