Was climbing up the hill to the castle, her thoughts whirling.  What to tell the captain, what to do about Norman, what to ask the faerie..<em>how</em>to ask the faerie, as well as how to help Endorel, and still do her tasks while there was a horse killing mo..<br/>She stopped suddenly, and realized just how angry she really was about today.  She looked into the woods, her face hard and uncharacteristic when devoid of mirth.  She tried to calm herself as best she could, breathing deeply, attempting to center herself.  She thought idly about going back to town and taking in a quick drink at that tavern Endorel always liked.  She could never remember the name of it, but she'd passed it on her way out of town.  Hell, even a quick roll in the hay with Norman would ease her mind about now, but she was already later than she though getting back.  Whatever Endorel was making, he would need time to prepare it.  That among everything else he had to go through.. no, she couldn't devote herself to pleasures to clear her head just yet.  She shifted the strap on her shoulder and made her way back to the castle.  Although this time the over arching trees that lined the path were just shade.<br/>She came back through the castle gates with a heavy air.  Endorel was nowhere to be seen, so she went inside to the kitchens.  Lila was there cutting potatoes, and Maggie placed the apples in the top shelf of the pantry, with polite instructions not to use them for anything Endorel didn't approve.  She asked where the man might be, as well, and Lila had no clue, leaving Maggie to imagine that he had gone to his quarters for a moment of personal mourning.  She felt sadness again, as he tried to be so strong and take on greater duties even after cleaning the corpse of his father.<br/>"Maggie.. you alright?"<br/>"Jus'a fokkin' bad dee, Lila." she said, after taking a moment to come back from her thoughts.<br/>"When's the last time you slept?"<br/>"Well tha' was.. Oi don' remember."<br/>"Rest," Lila absently commanded.<br/>"No." Maggie shot Lila a glace that reminded her how stubborn her cheery co-servant could really be.  "Oi gotta find th' Captain."  And she turned and left, without another word.  Privately, she knew it was a bad idea to go look for the Captain, but what could she do.
