"Wind & Words"

Escape

Dorne
Arya/Talulah

Arya, wore Talulah's face and entered the villa where Daenerys slept. She quickly made her way to the kitchen to have the four rabbits she'd killed and skinned cooked for rabbit stew.
Arya was startled by the hefty lady who was chopping potatoes on the long wooden counter.
"When did you arrive?" Talulah asked laying down the four coneys then went to wash her hands. The robust woman turned to face the short girl.
"You the hand maiden of Lady Ashara's sister?"

Talulah nodded her head.
"Yes I'm going to wake Daenerys so she can have something to eat."
Talulah walked out of the kitchen area before she could hear the cooks response and made her way down the alabaster hallway.
The dornish villa was exquisitely detailed with all kinds of foreign stoned walls and golden trimmings.
  Once Talulah was at the large wooden door she grabbed the key then unlocked the door as quietly as she could.
  Daenerys was still asleep because it was very quiet. Talulah lit a few candles then she went over to the large bed arrayed with silks.
There laying on her side snoring softly was her sister by law. Arya smiled at the sight of her sleeping peacefully, she was sad that Jon wanted her to find Moon tea to make Daenerys loose their child. Arya shook her sentiments away and composed herself.
She placed a gentle hand on Daenerys shoulder and shook her.

   Daenerys eyes opened and when she saw Talulah's face she smiled slightly.
"Oh no, how long was I asleep Talulah?" Daenerys asked as she sat up and stretched her arms.

Talulah smiled back, "Only two hours my Lady. Not long at all, you seem much more rested. Are you hungry? The cook is almost done with the rabbit stew."

Talulah watched Daenerys smile as she stroked her lower abdomen unknowingly.
"Oh I love rabbit stew! Did you shoot the rabbits Talulah?" Daenerys asked as she got off of the bed and walked over to the table to pour herself a glass of water. Daenerys stood facing the window watching the still setting sun. The colors of amber, fuchsia and violet bouncing off of her Valyrian features.

Talulah nodded and answered her previous question, "Yes I shot a few rabbits with my bow...it's not a big deal. Before I became a handmaiden in Sunspear I used to live on the streets. You have to fend for yourself, so I decided to learn a bit of archery on my own to survive."
Talulah watched Daenerys' facial expression turn to that of compassion.

"It takes a brave girl to be on her own, thank you for bringing me rabbits for supper. You're skills are much appreciated."

Talulah smirked awkwardly.
"It's my pleasure my Lady. Now if you'll excuse me I will go and fetch your food, then I think we should speak about something a bit more important if that's alright with you?"

Daenerys' eyebrows creased in curiosity.
"Yes of course we may speak upon your return Talulah."
But before Daenerys could press on for more information Talulah walked out the door.

   Arya walked quickly back to the kitchen, she was deciding what to say and how to tell Daenerys that she needed to leave with her away from Dorne. She just didn't know how, Talulah was still just a stranger to her. She still had no idea how she'd go about telling her about Jon and little Robb either. The whole situation is delicately complicated.

"Here's the stew girl." Said the husky cook as she shoved the tray with a brass bowl full of rabbit stew, into Talulah's arms.
"Do you think she will want some stale bread as well?"
Talulah shrugged at the cook who obviously didn't have manners which she really didn't mind.
"I'm not sure but just put a few pieces here on the tray I'll present some to her anyway. She says she is very hungry, you never know."
The cook grabbed three stale bread biscuits and dropped them onto the tray.
