[QUOTE="ghostcat, post: 5146122, member: 30034"] Trinham wakes suddenly from a deep sleep and finds himself in a strange bed. He briefly wonders where he is before his memory comes flooding back. Sitting up and rubbing sleep from his eyes, he sees an attractive young girl, about his own age, in a maid's outfit. She is standing at the foot of his bed with her eyes on the floor. Noticing that he is awake she looks up and shyly says [color=pink]"Good morning mi lord. I was told to wake you and tell you to join your companions for breakfast. They are already eating.[/color] Trinham smilies at her sweetly and says [color=cyan]"And a very good morning to you. Firstly, I am not a lord, just a simple soldier. You can call me Trinham. What is your name, if you don't mind me asking."[/color] [color=pink]"Alice sir, eh Trinham."[/color] She says, blushing furiously, she continues [color=pink]"Look, there's hot water in the jug. I'll wait outside until your washed and dressed, then I'll take you to your friends."[/color] [color=cyan]"Companions certainly, friends I am not that sure about."[/color] he mutters to her disappearing back. Several minutes later, washed and dressed; Trinham, accompanied by Mogins ([color=cyan]"come on Mogins breakfast and no side trips this time. I'm serious.[/color]), leaves his room and follows Alice to where the others are eating breakfast. Having slept late, Trinham is the last to arrive, except for Aidan who is nowhere to be seen. Helping himself, and Mogins, to a generous breakfast, it becomes obvious to Trinham that it will be impossible for him to take privately with the others. Then, even before he has had chance to finish his breakfast, Aiden is found to be missing and chaos reigns as a search of the manor is organised. Throwing his remaining egg and a couple of slices of bacon between two hunks of bread, Trinham finishes up his breakfast while fruitlessly searching. Much later. Someone suggested searching outside of the manor and Vance suggests a ride out. Trinham's face turns pale and he literally start to shake violently; which with a man as fat as Trinham is not a pretty sight. Almost in a whisper and with a very shaky voice Trinham, having completely forgotten his manners, says [color=cyan]"Ride. Do you mean on a horse? Then is it alright if I stay here? I still have not recovered from the spider bite. Anyway. I don't know how to ride a horse. In fact I was bitten by a horse when I was a child. In fact my father was trampled to death by a horse. His father was also, trampled to death.
