"Wonderful.  I need to remember to try and avoid horses as much as possible in the future.  Mind, I <em>am</em> thankful to you for taking me in, Lady Lillian, but something is wrong around here.  Ashley seems to agree with me, too.  We were going to investigate the house, but talking out here seemed like a good idea.  After all, how often do you see a book bleed on you?"<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><div class="floatleft">(http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/3985/lilianmontague.jpg)</div><strong>Lillian Montague</strong>, Atop Winter's Bliss [Sylria & Lillian]<br/><br/>The horse moved quickly for some time, and even Ashley with her heated running, did not catch up with Lillian's exquisite mare; poor Bella had been left clear behind. Sylria spoke to her, but the Montague girl did not immediately respond. Instead, she ignored Sylria for a moment, until there was a branch off of the road. Lillian took the path, and the pair passed into the shelter of woodland trees and forest. Though the day outside had been mildly gloomy, in the forest every bit of sunlight was precious and to be revered. Light streamed down between branches, slivers of it casting shadows on the leafy ground beneath the mare's hooves.<br/><br/>"Sorry about that," said Lillian, bringing Winter's Bliss to a slow canter, and then to a gentle walk. "I actually had plans to steal you away today, and we had to leave the rest of them behind in order for me to do so." She smiled, and though Sylria could not see her face, it was likely that she could feel the smile anyway, in Lily's mood. "The forest? Does it, set you more at ease? I've read that elves like the forests."<br/><br/>She turned, and looked over her shoulder, at Sylria. The other woman's hands were still clasped around her body, even though the horse was no longer running at a dangerous pace. "Would you like to tell me about your book?" she asked, as if to show she had indeed been listening earlier.<br/>
