*He grinned at her then fluidly climbed down the first few rungs of the ladder, jumping over the rest down to the ground. He waited at the bottom, wondering whether she'd need any help climbing down.*

*She swung down easily, her long curls bouncing around her face as she made it to the ground.*

*She looked around at him as she walked, her movements unconsciously graceful.* Are you staying here? Permanently?

*He shrugged.* "So I've heard. There are enough hands at the Heekins' farm already, and they all believed I could do better than be a hand anyhow. So this position cropped up, and they sent me. If not, I'll probably travel; see a few places other than my own spit of land, you know?"

I'm sure you'll love it here, it seems like a wonderful place. But travel is so exciting! *She twirled, her skirt swirling around her slim body.*

*He smiled sheepishly.*
"The farthest I ever went was Dublin, and that was for Nationals. And now I'm here--I'd like to see some more of the world one day before I settle down."

I'd love to travel around, but I think this is as far as I'll be able to go for a while. *She sighed wistfully.*

*He laughed.*
"That's no attitude to get you anyplace. Whyever not? You're the master of your own fate, Miss Scarlett."

First of all, please just call me Scarlett, Miss Scarlett makes me feel so old. *She laughed lightly as she spoke.* And I...well...we... I can't really afford to travel around the world.

*He shrugged.*
"I certainly can't afford it, but that's not going to stop me." *He said lightly.* "I'm lucky to have gotten this far at no cost to myself. Your godmother's been very generous."
