"Dunno. None worth getting close to, I suppose."

"I know what ye mean," *she said, looking out at the distant horizon, nearly lost in the dim starlight.*

"Well, that, and there aren't many trees in London. None you can build a castle in, anyway. And you'd be surprised how many of those city boys can't wield a hammer." *He teased.*

*Sorcha chuckled.*
"Oxford will turn you into an educated man of the world, then, will it?" *she asked.* "They should drive all the good things out of ye in no time."

*He grinned.*
"As a matter of pride, I like to think I'll be the way I am now come graduation, if a bit more well-read. But of course I'll never be able to build a proper treehouse without you." *He teased.*

"Can't have a proper treehouse without a rug, now, can ye? Walls are optional, and a roof is a nice touch, but a rug--now that's what pulls it all together," *she said smugly.*

"Do shut up, woman." *He teased right back.* "Would have been just fine without your rug."

"Fine. Ye try sittin' on bare, damp boards for an entire afternoon and tell me how ye like it when yer arse goes deader than a man hung last week."

*He rolled his eyes good-naturedly.*
"Fine. But roofs are just as important as rugs, otherwise the rugs would get damp and moldy."

"Fair enough."
*Sorcha listened for a moment to the cricketsong fading into the deepening night.*
"What are ye doing out here, anyway?"

"Listening to the ocean. You miss the sound, when you're in the city."

"I wouldn't know. I've never been off of the estate," *she said quietly.*

"I'll bet you go tons of places one day." *He assured her, tentatively taking her hand.*

"When I read about them," *she said, her expression thoughtful and distant. She barely realized he was holding her hand--it seemed so natural a motion.* "...I can almost imagine I'm there. But it's not the same--I know it's not the same, somehow. There must be more than this provincial life out there, somewhere."
*She blinked back sudden tears, grateful for the darkness.*
