Merlin a simple towns women who lived with her two sons sat at the Lake washing the clothes for the day, she sat humming a lovely tune to herself as she dipped the shirt into the water before rubbing it against the wash board. She hadn't been paying attention to her surroundings but everything had been quiet, she was soon startled by a floating body. She jumped in surprise as he washed up on shore, amazingly he was still breathing, Merlin quickly dragged him out of the water looking down at him. She called to her sons who were playing in the large field close by, the two boys rushed over carrying the strange male back to there home. They put blankets over him to warm his soaked bones, Merlin put on a pot of stew in case he woke with a growling stomach.<br/><br/>Snow now worked at the INN, she needed the place to stay and the shop keeper wanted to keep her around, when no one was looking he would walk by and grab her ass and when she yelped everyone looked at her. Snow hated this guy and wanted to eat him but she could do no such thing, he sent her on an errand run to pass out letters.<br/><br/>Snow walked around the small town lost, she couldn't find her way to anything when she asked people they gave her a look of disgust, she had no idea what to do, when Marlin walked by she tugged her shirt softly. "Uh...Excuse me Ma'am..." she said softly in almost a whisper,<br/>Marlin stopped watching her "What can I do for you?" she asked in a cheerful voice<br/>"Can you tell me where Ms.Marlin is?" she asked.<br/>"Ah you're looking at her" Snow was surprised before bowing and handing over the letter "You must be hungry darling, why don't you come to my place and get some food, I just made stew!" she said as she ushered her to the house. Snow nodded as she followed not really wanting to go back to the INN keeper, Once she gotten into the house she was fed a hot bowl of beef stew and it instantly became her favorite. She took interest in the man on the floor next to the fire place, she stared at him for a long time wondering where he came from, the scent on him was of something familiar, she kept her mouth shut for now as she gotten a second helping of the soup and enjoyed the food.
