“Do plan to stay the night?” the boy asked from the other side of the man.
She turned to look at the boy. At least he was friendly. “Nay, as soon as we have something to eat, we will continue on our way.”
“Since you are heading in our direction, you should come with us, my lady,” the boy said.
Clarisse twisted her lips doubtfully as she looked at the knight. “We already have an escort.”
“Aye, but you would be safer in larger numbers. Everyone knows this. Sir Gareth will tell you true.”
She turned her eyes to Gareth, who had not spoken a word. “I do not think your master would want us to accompany you.”
Before the knight had any chance to speak, the Page was already nodding his head enthusiastically. “Of course he would, my lady!”
