Mark and Isolde's Chamber

[Helyn Caron]

She giggled. 'I do not believe i would, i giggle to myself when i am reading.' she admitted

[Marie]

"Oh, even if you're reading a tragic love story in which the hero and heroine perish because cruel fate keeps them apart and they cannot bear to loive if they are not to be together?"

[Helyn Caron]

'then i cry and alert people to my location.' She chuckled

[Marie]

"Oh. I won't tease you about it any more. I wish I could immerse myself in books as easily as you. But the more I see of the world, the less I believe in the world of books and songs."

[Helyn Caron]

'With a book, i can let my imagination take control.'

[Marie]

"Ah yes, I could when I was a child, but I can't do that any more. I wish that I could. Well, I can imagine things but not for that length of time, you know?"

[Helyn Caron]

'that is a shame, i do love to spend time with my books.'

[Marie]

"Did you brng them all with you., or just some of them?"

[Helyn Caron]

"not all of them no, we'd never have made it." she chuckled

[Marie]

"Oh dear, how many books do you have, then? A hundred?" Isolde guessed.

The day after the feast, Helyn knocked on the door hoping to see Isolde.

[Marie]

The door opened. Isolde was sitting by the window with a piece of embroidery in hand but she set it aside with a smile when she saw Helyn.

"My dear! How are you? Have you been enjoying Kings Landing?"

[Helyn Caron]

'Isolde, i hope i do not disturb you, i just have not seen you and became a little concerned.'

[Marie]

"Oh. I've been keep-ing Mark company," Isolde explained. "He got into some trouble and kept to his chambers because he was hurt quite a bit, and he's too vain to let himself be seen in public with bruises. I''m fine, really, but thank you for coming to see me. What have you been up to?"

[Helyn Caron]

'I hope Mark is ok, What happened?'
