"I did not even sense their approach. My sister and I were walking together...stretching our legs after our cousin stopped the carriage. I wandered off, and before I knew what was happening, they had taken me. Catherine must be worried terribly," Jane murmured, sighing.

"I am sorry," Kate said earnestly. "Oliver gave the orders and, well... we follow them, I suppose. I mean, he did save us, right? Like a Robin Hood of our own."

Jane sighed. "I suppose we will see what he decides for me when I am called in for an audience. What is he like...?"

"Oliver? Oh, he's wonderful!" Kate sighed happily. "He has the most dreamy blue eyes ever, and his hair shines like light spun gold - he's really one of the only men who bothers to clean it, you know. He's also tall, but not too tall, and he can shoot an arrow truer than anyone I have ever seen in my life! He's brought us all here from London, you know, and..." she sighed again, looking wistful. "He's really not all that bad once you get to know him. Everyone says he used to be a Lord, but everyone trusts him all the same."

Jane smiled a bit. "And you are in love with him."

Kate blushed even more. "Maybe... just a little... Oh, but he'd never look twice at me! We're all peasants, here, and he's still the son of a Lord... plus, all the women are clamouring for his attention... and Peter's."

Jane frowned a bit. "That sounds just like how Court is described...however the men do a fair bit of clamouring themselves."

Kate shrugged. "You may not have noticed, but... there's a real shortage of young, good-looking men with all their teeth intact," she whispered lowly. "We girls, well..."

"Ah, I see," Jane murmured, glancing around. "I hope I will not be here long...they will begin to worry over me more than necessary...."

Kate smiled. "You'll be back soon, so don't worry."

Jane sighed deeply. "I truly hope so, Kate."

Kate giggled. "The camp hates it when people of your status are brought in. They'll pressure Oliver to get rid of you as soon as possible - reap the reward, they say."

Jane glanced at her curiously. "Why do they hate us so? Pardon my asking, but not all of us are like that."

Kate looked at her levelly. "Yes, they are," she said simply. "Maybe not all the time, but they are. All of them. It's just how it works. Like we'll always be poor."

"I meant that we are all not necessarily rich snobs. I could care less about wealth, but the rest of my family...well...." Jane shook her head. "For my sister and myself, it is more about comfort...we have grown up in the wealthy surroundings and so it is all we know of. I know nothing else, which is why all of this is so strange to me."
ooc: have to go. Talk to you later ~
