*Robbie bit back a groan of frustration and chucked aside the brush, taking her elbow and steering her to sit on a haybale outside the stall.*
"Wait there."
*Soon, he re-appeared with a jar of some kind of salve and some clean rags. He knelt at her feet, working the lid off of the jar.*
"...where are yer shoes, miss?" *he asked. As if he didn't know.*

"By the pond, with my book." *She said flatly, pulling her skirt a little higher so that he could get to her foot easily. This of course revealed a little more than half of a smooth, pale calf.*

"Oh."
*He wiped the blood away with a rag, and was pleased to see that there was nothing of dirt or anything sharp embedded in the wound.*
"Looks worse than it is, miss," *he said somewhat cheerfully, taking some of the healing salve on the tips of his fingers and dabbing it gently along the cut.*

*She had to stifle a giggle.*
"Sorry. Um. Tickles." *Her toes wiggled as if in support of this claim.*

"Sorry, miss," *he said with half a shy smile, turning his hand a little so the flat pads of his fingers slid across the sole of her foot to smooth the salve against her skin, rather than the more featherlight touch of the tips of his fingers.*

*She gave her own half-smile back, nonetheless twisting her hands in her lap. God, all he had to do was smile and she turned into goo. It wasn't fair, she thought, blushing.*

*Finishing, Robbie bound her foot in a clean rag strip, then stood.*
"If ye'll just sit a moment, I can fetch yer things fer ye, miss," *he offered, taking off his worn coat and settling it around her shoulders to keep her warm while she waited. He slipped out of the stables without another word, going back to the pond and locating her shoes and her book.*

*She waited, pulling the coat, still warm with his body heat, around her shoulders. It smelled like him, she realized. Like hay, and sun, and something distinctly male that she couldn't quite name.*

*Robbie returned, carrying her shoes and her book, setting them down beside her.*
"Is there anything else I c'n do, miss?"

*She shook her head.*
"No. And thank you." *She said, slipping out of the coat and holding it out to him, though clearly she was referring to other things.*

*He took the coat, holding it loosely in his hands.*
"At yer service, as always, miss," *he said with a deferential dip of his head.*

*She pulled her shoes on and stood, holding the book.*
"Um.. goodbye then. Robbie."

*He smiled giddily as she said his name out loud. He didn't even realize it.*
"G'night, miss..."

*But when he smiled at her she utterly forgot what she was supposed to be doing and smiled back. Then, of course, it hit her that this was when she was supposed to leave, and she blushed again.*
"Right. Um. Going." *She turned.*
