Chapter 11

“Niven, watch over the horses tonight and dinna bother me unless there is a problem.” Alastair pushed the empty bowl from the pottage to the middle of the table. He stretched and yawned and stood up.

“Problem, my lord? Like what?” asked Niven.

“If Brohain and Rhodric do anythin’ suspicious, tell me. I still canna trust those two.”

“Aye, my laird. Should I alert ye for anythin’ else?”

“Nay. Dinna be knockin’ at the door unless the English are burnin’ the place down.” He reached over the table for the travel bag, but Fia snatched it up before he could grab it.

“I’ve got the bag,” she said, standing up, clutching the thing to her chest.

“Why are ye actin’ so odd?” he asked, thinking she seemed a little nervous.

“Odd? I’m no’ actin’ odd.” She flashed a smile and yawned. “I am tired as well.”

“This way,” he said, guiding her to the stairs.

“I think I need to relieve myself outside first.”

“Ye’re no’ goin’ alone with all these men watchin’ ye like bulls in heat. I’m comin’ with ye.”

“Nay.” She put her hand on his chest. “I see Lorraine. I will have her keep watch. I’ll be right back.”

He noticed Brohain and Rhodric staring and talking behind their hands. Matter of fact, everyone in the place was looking at Fia. He didn’t like it. The idea of letting her out of his sight bothered him, but it was probably better that another woman went with her. Lorraine was a tough lassie and had even hit him over the head with a pitcher once when she thought he was being fresh with her. She wouldn’t let anything happen to Fia.

“All right, but if ye’re gone longer than two minutes, I am comin’ after ye. And dinna even think to try to escape because, if so, I will be right on yer tail.”

“Well, I wouldna want that to happen, would I?”

“Wait! Give me the travel bag,” he called out, but she kept going and didn’t even turn around.
