Rhiannon didn't miss anything as she took in the male before her. His rough appearance wasn't ruined by the scars he bore but they sank in her heart and caused her to bite the inside of her cheek. She knew what she was seeing it was as she had thought. He was a child that bore the sins of the adults around him. Who knew who gave those lashes to him or why... But they told enough of a story that she ached for him.<br/><br/>She said nothing as he headed to the bath. The gazes of the two household members still stared at her for a time before moving off to do their jobs. She knew they were wondering if she knew before she brought the children there of the past trauma. Certainly she hadn't but would it have changed anything? She doubt it. If anything she would have taken them in sooner.<br/><br/>Trailing a hand through her hair she closed her eyes. Standing after a moment or so she headed upstairs to her study so she could work on a few household things that needed her attention. She also set about writing a proper contract for Crow to agree to when he was of a more sound mind.
