My Lady

 After they broke the hug, Lucas looked behind Skye; "Ima surprised that Peggy didn't try to follow ye."

 Skye chuckled; "If she wasn't so sick, she probably would've. How's everyone been?"

 While the question was directed at her parents, all the people of Moonshire cheered, then rapidly started to tell her about little tidbits of their lives since she'd been gone. Skye tried to listen, but there were so many.. It warmed her heart as much as it flustered her.

 After several minutes of people trying to talk over each other, Skye announced that she would stop in the village as soon as the soldiers were set up, and settled for the night. She was hit with a wave of disappointment, but they understood their lady. And trusted her to keep her word to visit.
