Yule

Yule walked in silence towards the burrow where someone was waiting for her. Feeling rather dazed and in a bad mood she kept a steady paste in the hope the fresh air would clear her head from  too many thoughts. Still holding in her hand a letter,  she stopped for a moment to read again the  words, ink smudged by tears and a barely legible handwriting, then shook her head and started walking once more.

This journey across the sea in to the west, it went well I am glad to say. My main objective, protect Miss yule, has been reached so far. She is sometimes a handful, when she starts wandering from safe roads into wilderness paths without notifying me, but no harm (safe for a spiderbite that has been cured again) has been done. Well, that's hunters for you, always looking for shortcuts and scenic routes! But she is alright as an employer.

Yule looked at the bright star shining to the North in the early evening sky . Byco stood next to her in silence for a long moment, not wanting to interrupt her thoughts. As she moved, he followed. They walked in silence along the road to the west, leaving Bywater and the Green Dragon Inn behind.Her delicate feet still trying to get used to the ways of the hobbits. She paused to gaze upwards at the many stars enjoying the fresh night breeze blowing gently in her hair.
