Challenge Yourself

#2.

Challenge Notes: Daffyd and Serena are characters from an old novel I wrote and am in the process of rewriting, I've made some alterations here for this challenge.

Length: 200 word minimum

Special Considerations: Dialogue and Inner Monologue extensive challenge

Scenario:

There are those born in an age where women are meant to be nothing more then a pretty face, docile and seen rather then heard. Daffyd has a sister that is by far opposite of what's expected in twelfth century England but she has gone missing and in her place he found a woman garbed in clothing that is like nothing he has ever seen before. "How have you come to me here, where just last eve, my sister Serena was bedded down for the night hours?" Daffyd had enough problems to contend with considering the movement of his enemies according to scouts. Daffyd, was best known as 'The Wolf' among his people and to the King whom he swore allegiance.

Serena, against her wishes was meant to be going to the King in a fortnight where she would remain under the royal protection until Daffyd was certain their estate was safe or until she was safely wed. Just thinking of the way his sister had reacted when he'd told her that once he could be certain that Castle Glencarin was safe, he had petitioned the King asking that she receive a royal escort among the marriage minded gentlemen of the courts made him nearly laugh.

However, it was looking at this strange woman who's dress was indecent and awkward that caused him to hold back his laughter, his concern for his wild sister was stronger then his humor at her expense a few days before. "I warn you, m'lady, I expect a truthful reply as to my sisters whereabouts and your presence within my estates in those odd garments..."




Challenge:
As stated above, dialogue and internal monologue is what this is a focus for.

Deadline:

May 31st.
