The Gig, Wednesday, July 1

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

Gwynn was quite cheerful when she showed up for work. She had had a good weekend -- what with seeing Conner and then going to the dance -- so she was happy as she took care of the horses.

Once the feeding and cleaning was taken care of, she turned the horses loose in the paddock and sat beneath one of the trees to keep an eye on them while she worked on a letter home.

She probably should not mention that she had been ogled due to the dress she had worn. While she had enjoyed it, her family and Briton probably wouldn't understand.

Or be happy.

The Gig is open.

Tim was out for a walk, and his destination turned out to be the gig. Totally by accident really. Spotting Gwynn under a tree, he came over to join her.

"Hey Gwynn."

Gwynn looked up and smiled.

"Hello, Tim."

"Mind if I join you?"

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

"Of course not. Have a seat."

Tim did. After taking a moment to make himself comfortable, he said;

"So, you and Conner."

"Me and Conner?" She wasn't quite sure what he meant by the opening.

"You two are uh...are you guys together?"

She closed the notebook and nodded.

"About six months after you left and I stopped hearing from you, he helped me when I was in trouble. The Sheriff showed up and caught me unawares. I had to run and I ran into Conner." Literally. "He helped bandage my wounds and then later helped fight the Sheriff's men so I could stay."

"Yeah I'm still pissed that my letters never got through. I'm glad he was there for you though." It was kind of weird though, that she was dating his old roommate.

"I am unhappy about that, too," she admitted. "I thought perhaps you had forgotten me." She pulled up some grass. "The summer after you left... there was an evil man in the woods with very sharp weapons. He attacked me one night. The doctors told me later that had Conner not heard me scream and ran to get me, I would no longer be here."

Tim sighed, a little bitterly and leaned back against the tree. "I wanted to come back that summer. But I couldn't afford it. I think if I'd known I wasn't getting through I'd have hitchhiked to get here.

"Then about a month into that summer, Fandom kind of disappeared. But I never forgot you. I still have the necklace you gave me."
