He heard Melanie introduce them, turning to point at him. David walked over to greet her, bowing and thanking her for allowing them to stay.

“My Cait will get ye settled. After dinner, we’ll talk and ye can tell me yer requirements,” Angus told them.

“Come along, I had rooms readied as soon as I heard we had guests. I’ll send a bath up for you Melanie, but the men can go bathe in the loch. No sense making more work for my girls when the loch will do fer the warriors,” Cait said, her eyes twinkling.

Melanie knew how cold the water was in the loch, so she thanked Cait profusely for having a tub brought up for her.

Ian and Melanie entered their room, thanking Cait as she closed the door. Devlin and David were across the hall in separate rooms.

Hearing a knock, Ian opened the door and waited while the tub was put in front of the fire. They could not talk privately until the tub was filled and everyone left. There was no point in speaking telepathically. They needed David and Devlin in on the conversation.

Ian waited impatiently until they were done, while Melanie sat on the bed, sighing as the door closed. She was tired and hungry, on the verge of getting really grumpy.

“I’m going to get David. We need to know what his plans are,” Ian said.

“Okay, but hurry up. I can’t wait to get this grime off of me and go eat dinner. I’m starving,” Melanie said.

Ian returned quickly with David and Devlin. Melanie had laid back on the bed with her legs dangling over the edge. She didn’t bother sitting up, she could listen and contribute just fine from her prone position.

Devlin took a stance by the closed door. He would alert them if anyone from the castle came near. David propped himself up by the fireplace, while Ian stood near the window.

“Okay you two, how close are we to the target?” Devlin asked.

Staring at the ceiling, Melanie sent out tendrils of magic. She closed her eyes, following the magic trail until she knew she had a location.

“Got it. Probably a couple of days travel from here, leading into the mountains. Crap. I really hate the thought of hiking through mountains. Rough terrain, rock slides, and the higher we go, the colder it gets,” Melanie complained.

“I got the same vibes, so be ready to leave tomorrow,” David stated. “Not knowing how long they’ve been lost, they may need medical attention. We never know if the persons we’re going after are seasoned campers, or totally lost when not in the city.”

“Angus wants to speak with us after dinner. Any ideas on what we’re going to tell him?” Ian asked.

“He won’t be a problem, in fact, he may very well give us some help. He knows these mountains. I’ll tell him we’re looking for a lost friend and ask if he’s heard any rumors,” Melanie said.

“That works for me. We always want to keep things as simple as possible.
