A Gift

The flowers were simple things, wild spring blooms gathered on an afternoon free from work. The ribbon lacing the bouquet together, on the other hand, had been purchased at the market, coins that usually would have bought an ale or two willingly sacrificed. There was no accompanying note, the sender being illiterate, as many in Myrken were. Instead, the flowers had been delivered at the kitchen door, the recipient clearly specified. Dulcie.

The flowers were scooped up on her way in to the tavern, the innkeeper giving them a suspicious look. She wouldn't sniff at the flowers like some silly young barmaid. Who knew what they were laced or tainted with. This was Myrken Wood after all. She'd just stare at them, search for the note that wasn't there and then shake them a bit, to be rid of whatever poisons it might be laced with. Deciding that they must be safe after all she'd take them into the kitchen and deposit them in a pitcher of water where she could continue to ponder over them throughout the day. Maybe Catch had left them. But then of course that didn't really explain the lovely ribbon, she couldn't imagine the mad man purchasing something like that at the market.
