Jennifer, once again, sighs at Hanna's words. We are to try diplomacy first. Only if that fails will we beat up a god.

No we're trying out fact finding first! Nicole huffed.

Fact finding, then diplomacy, then attacking. I can get behind that plan. Nicole, Hanna, can you two as well?

Baron Ramsey gives another chuckle. Hey, I just want the snow gone. Whatever you end up doing to get rid of it, I'm not fussed about. But you can trust me on the payment. I'm a man of my word. A knock comes at the door. Oh, right, the wine! the baron exclaims. Come on, bring it in! The door opens again, and a maidservant enters bearing a tray with four cups--a gorgeous young thing with long, glossy red hair and generous curves visible even under her heavy shawls. Her big brown eyes widen further at the sight of Jennifer, but her hand is steady with the tray, which she sets down on the desk. H-here you are, milord. Sorry for the wait. Her eyes hardly leave the paladin as she speaks. Not a problem, Tess, the baron reassures, picking up one of the cups. Come on, let's drink to your success! And I don't expect you to leave just when it's getting dark. You can sup and spend the night here, we have guest chambers. I could have Alette join you while you eat, if you want to meet her, he adds to Nicole.

Jennifer smiles at Tess, hoping to disarm the young woman of her surprise, and takes a glass. No success yet, my Lord, but I'll drink for the pleasant company. I've not known you long, but you seem a good man, so, she raises her glass high, to good company!

I would like that. Nicole adds ogling the maids chest. Hey, my name's Nicole. She adds to Tess extending a hand.

Hanna Looking aghast at Jennifer what kindof ballad is that putting on a voice of a grizzeled story teller and then the brave heroes spoke to the Queen of Wolves pointing out the error of her ways and and she agreed that she was a little out of line and they all had cake? , sighing but fine if she is a such a pitiful goddess as to be placated by a talk after whatever insult has been leveled against her we won't bother engaging the exercise of besting her, it would seem not worth the trouble at that point anyway . Grumbling slightly she turned to Nicole so how long does fact finding take, half an hour? an hour? two? still eager to leave. Eyeing the maidservent as she entered she wondered what other services she provided the Keep with a smile, and downed a glass in a single gulp - happy to leave sooner rather than later, sooner it is over day or night the better for everyone - right? . She knew she was going to lose that arguement with the others, rest was better, start rested and refreshed - but she did want to start sooner ... particularly as wolves are night creatures right - would not want to have to camp out all day tomorrow waiting for their queen when we could deal with it tonight she said hopefully.

RE Yearning Steer Penner and AR Random Western Titles. Her head hurt, that much she knew as she was trying to think of what exactly happened and how she had gotten into a trench. She was sure that she had been in one of the old houses on the edge of the ranch chasing after Sam and Dean twin boys who were always getting into trouble. Always with their farfetched games of fighting demons and things like that. Creative boys, no doubt but not the best when you were trying to teach them algebra. How did I get here? She whispered as her body ached, she looked down to see if she was injured badly and there was nothing that she could see. Her hand reached up to touch her face, a small cut on her cheek but nothing serious. She had blacked out so she would have to go to the hospital in case of a concussion but she was alive and well. That was what was important. Slowly moving, she said Ohhh ow ow Saying it out low seemed to make it hurt less. However, what had happened next was something that she had not expected. Hazel eyes looked up as she heard the footsteps of several people coming over. Probably some of the ranch hands working there at the historical ranch God, she secretly hoped one was hot. Most of the dudes at this things had long hair and were into metal or were older with a hard-on for the Civil War re-enactments. Of course, she would never say that but it was the truth. Damn that was her thoughts as she looked up at the one guy who said, What in tarnation She guessed they were always professional. Sorry I was chasing after some of my students and I fell I just need to go back to the you know the ranch, get some first aid. I did black out so, I might need to go to the hospital I dont think it will be necessary. I did hit my head some bad. They were all looking at her almost wordless. I get it you have to stay in character She laughed as she slowly rose as she reached up towards the first guy who spoke to her. Hey Handsome, Can you help me out of here? She hadnt seen any of these guys before but figured they helped out as volunteers that was kind of sweet of them. Unless this was some ex con program no, it wasnt. They had checked that out before bringing a group of children for a field trip. Youre all looking at me like you havent seen a woman before She laughed nervously as her eyes looked around at the ranch now that she was standing in the trench something was really different. Some of the buildings were missing.

RE Yearning Steer Penner and AR Random Western Titles. She had hit her head real bad, judging by the odd nearly nonsensical words sputtering out of her mouth. The only thing that remotely made sense to Ben was the part about 'students'. Was she the school teacher then? He didn't have much opportunity to travel into town but he'd heard they were sending for a teacher, that much had registered because it had given him a bit of hope for his younger brother, Luke. He knew Luke was a real smart kid, somehow he'd even learned to read, something the rest of them hadn't learned and while he hadn't had the 'talk' with the boy yet he did intend to send him to school as soon as it was set up. The girl, the very strangely dressed girl, held out her hand, asking boldly for help out. He heard his brothers murmuring behind him as he closed the space between himself and the trench. He bent down, reaching his hand out to grasp her outstretched one -- her hand was tiny compared to his, and soft. As easily as if she were a newborn calf being hauled to a shelter, he lifted her up, free hand sliding around her waist to steady her once she was out. He waited long enough to be sure she could stand on her own before releasing her and stepping back. Ma'am, he said softly. He wasn't used to women, or at least not ones like this. The maids who cared for the house very rarely interacted with him, most of the time they were like ghosts that flitted about cleaning up the messes he left behind. Should we get the doc? Noah asked, Ben? Yeah, that might be good, she was clearly suffering some kind of head trauma. Ben nodded back at his brothers, Luke, Noah, ride into town. Bring back the doc. Quick! He turned his attention back to the barely dressed female while his brothers ran back around the house. Good thing their horses were already saddled up. You... uh... would you like to wait inside, ma'am? It's a bit cooler in there. Sun's hot today, Ben rested his hands on his belt as he spoke, a nervous gesture because he didn't know what else to do with them in this situation. He didn't much like the way Jesse was eyeing the lady, not that she looked like much of a lady. She looked a bit more like--no, he wouldn't think that. His mother had taught him better than to think that.

RE Yearning Steer Penner and AR Random Western Titles. Something was off about what was happening to her right now... the buildings were different and some of them were missing as she looked up at the group of men who were all watching her. There was also a young girl on the porch who was watching. Something was really off. Taking the first man's hand, she dug her boots into the dirt so that she could get some leverage... He was doing most of the lifting of getting her out of the trench. Glancing behind her, she thought that this was dangerous for kids to be running around a historical ranch if there were deep trenches like this around. Thank you. She said as she felt his hand around her waist making sure that she was steady on her feet. Her eyes going up as her heart was beating a little quicker. 'Already, get a hold of yourself.' She thought to herself as she pulled away. Ride into town... I am sure that I can go with them... She said still feeling a little confused at that moment. Her head hurt as she wavered a bit. Okay, maybe that's a bad idea. Kate was going to need an aspirin... It was a shame that her purse was on the school bus. Yeah, I think I should go inside She muttered to him as she had this pathetic dazed look on her face, like an injured puppy. She could have sworn that she was at the Old Willow Ranch, there had been a name change a few times but it was still part of the history that the original name had been The Yearning Steer Odd name. Im at the Old Willow Ranch right? She asked looking around for the massive Willow tree that was around her somewhere there was a small one. This is just so weird She said as if she knew something was wrong but she didnt know what. I was on a field trip and then Im She shook her head. I think I need to lay down Her head hurt so much and she was feeling faint she had never fainted in her life but Kate did as she started wavering again and crumpled down.

RE Yearning Steer Penner and AR Random Western Titles. Old Willow Ranch? Ben repeated incredulously. He wasn't too sure what to say to this odd little lady but then she was talking about a field trip - what the heck was that, and next thing he knew she was falling. He caught her easily, at first just holding her dead weight against his chest but then lifting her up into his arms. Jess! He snapped, Get the door. You, he looked at the girl on the porch, he didn't even know her name, get us some cool water from the well. Hurry! She ran, nearly tripping over herself in her haste. He carried the strange woman into his home. It wasn't as big as some estates, but it was big enough. Two stories, a room for each of the boys. The servants had their own houses out by the barn. Only he and his brothers lived in here. The maids kept it clean, and nice. Almost too clean, it sometimes made Ben a bit uncomfortable. They entered in through the back, into the spacious kitchen and dining area. He carried her through here into the large sitting room where the brothers would often sit and relax after long days out in the field. There was a big chair here his mother used to like sitting in while she patched their clothes or read them stories. It was on this chair that he placed the girl. Jess was hot on his heels, like an eager puppy wanting to play. Get outta' here, he growled, girl don't need you gawkin'. Jesse didn't like being bossed around, he had a stubborn glint in his eyes that said he would ready to argue but Ben was just as stubborn and not in the mood for arguing. The only way to handle a boy like Jess was to have a bigger bite, and Ben could, if needed. The maid returned with a bucket of water and a wet cloth. Ben stepped back to let her mop at the girls cheeks and neck. He might have done it himself if he'd been alone but as it was he didn't feel comfortable laying his hands on her any more than was necessary. He could still feel her weight in his arms. Still feel the curve of her pressed into his chest. He cleared his throat, removing his hat and tossing it onto a nearby chair. He ran his hands through his still sweaty hair. She still breathin'? He asked. The maid nodded, Yes'sir.

RE Yearning Steer Penner and AR Random Western Titles. It seemed like no one knew her name in this house besides, Noah only calling her You or girl. Lord, she was hired help but it would be nice if they knew that her name was Susan. She had seen the young woman in the trench as she had returned from fetching water from the well a girl in strange clothes in a trench was not what you saw on a daily basis if ever. Susan was a little afraid of the oldest brother too her was big and loud obviously, she did not like getting into his line of sight. She had been standing on the porch wondering who this woman was she was dressed like a man but different Nothing like a saloon girl or the ladies in town most of the women in this town were either wives or wives for a night. Susan Miller wanted to get a decent living after her Pa had died leaving her without anyone it was luckily that the local Pastor had suggested her to the Wilson brothers when they had been looking for another maiden to cook and clean. There was two of them working there who took care of the cleaning, cooking and making it so the little chores were done since the four brothers were a disaster and of course, it was Susans first day alone since Miranda who was a little older than herself had took a few days to visit her family in a town about twenty miles away called Sand Springs. When the eldest brother pointed at her, she jumped as she turned and went running off so that she could go and fetch some water for the woman who had fainted along with a cloth. She knew exactly what to do, not that there were a lot of fainting women around these parts. She poured water from a bigger bucket to a small one as she also had a clean cloth. I can care for her until she comes to Susan said softly as she went down onto her knees beside the chair. Dipping the cloth into the water, she squeezed out the excess and folded it into a rectangle and placed it on her forehead, another cloth was to dab at her cheeks and neck. She was not pale if anything, she had a tanned colour a pale tan colour. Susan wondered if she was one of those Mexicans. Shes breathing She said as she looked up at her employer. Just fainted is all Stirring a moment later, Kate looked up to see the face of a young girl about sixteen or seventeen? Maybe younger? Wassthat where? She asked not at all gracefully. Where am I? She asked confused and disoriented.

RE Yearning Steer Penner and AR Random Western Titles. Being the oldest of a brood of boys Ben really didn't know what to do with women. Cows he knew what to do with. Rowdy boys he knew how to handle. Women? He just didn't know. They were strange, delicate... flowery. Normally he might have left and let the maid take care of this strange creature but this was his ranch and she was now, officially, his problem. He wouldn't just ignore a stray calf he found out in his pasture and he couldn't just pretend this woman wasn't in his house. The woman was awake again, and clearly trying to get a grasp of her surroundings. He moved into her line of sight, You're at the Yearning Steer, ma'am. My ranch. Don't move just yet. The boys have gone to bring the doc. Shouldn't be too long, just a few hours. What the heck was he going to do with her until then? Maybe he would leave her with the maid but he just didn't feel right walking out when she was fainting and babbling about 'field trips' and such. He didn't see Jesse standing near the stairs, watching with open curiosity. If he had he would have snapped at him to leave, again. Mind tellin' me what you were doin' on my land? Ben tried to phrase this in as gentle a tone as he could, but he wasn't exactly used to gentle, it still came out sounding like a command.

RE Yearning Steer Penner and AR Random Western Titles. The Yearning Steer? She asked with a raised eyebrow as the young teenage girl was dabbing at her forehead. Im alright, hun I just need to sit up. She said to the teenager who blinked a few times before saying, Let me just help you Susan said as she offered her hand and Kate turned so that she was sitting upright but her back was leaning against the back of the comfortable chair. Her mind went to the name of the ranch it was like the name of a bad western romance novel. What am I doing on your land? She repeated the question slowly as she was looking down at her lap before looking back down at her lap. Frankly, I dont rightly know. She knew that she was not in Kansas anymore well, Oklahoma well, she was in Oklahoma I think I dropped from thin air at least, it seems like that. She said with a sigh. Kate made jokes when she was uncomfortable and being in a stranger living room was uncomfortable. Im a teacher, you see She started wondering if that would help since she was being a bit careful as she looked around the sitting room. There was no television or electronic light and the old ranch name was... No. she had been reading too many damn Outlander books and watching the television show this had to be a dream. What today again? The time?

RE Yearning Steer Penner and AR Random Western Titles. Ben listened very carefully as the woman spoke but no matter how he furrowed his brow and concentrated he just couldn't make sense of her. He'd seen a few men hit their heads out in the field and none of them had been quite this addled after. Maybe it was because she was a school teacher and had a fancy way of swinging words that he just wasn't capable of catching. Uh... Her last question left him stumped. Reckon... well, I reckon it's mid-July. Sometime after midday. Something prompted him to dig deeper. There was a calender on the wall. His mother had insisted on always having one and even all this time after her death Ben still made sure to replace it every year. He couldn't really read it, of course, but he knew a few things, like that it had to be turned at the end of every month. 1867, July 20th? I think. He lifted the calender from the wall and carried it over, dropping it in her lap so she could see for herself. He didn't spend much time thinking about days. He relied on the land to guide him and tell him what season they were in, what he needed to do to prepare for winter and things of that nature. Girl, he looked to the maid, get her something to eat. Maybe food would help.

RE Yearning Steer Penner and AR Random Western Titles. Her body was still in pain, she did not know why besides from the fall but something did not make much sense, she wanted these people to stop their act. She knew thats those who worked at the Ranch were in character but couldnt they break it because she was feeling completely and utterly distressed. It made sense at her present situation since she was in a strangers home as a teenager girl was tending to her. I ought to get something for that nasty cut on your cheek, Miss. The blonde girl said as she smiled trying to be of some comfort. Kate nodded, Yes thank you. She said as the teenager looked startled and looked back at her brother? Why was she afraid of him? Was this a child in danger situation? Susan almost never got a thank you from any of the brothers well, except for Noah who was real kind to her. And yet, this strange lady wearing mens clothes was being polite to her. It wasnice. Smiling, the blonde nodded. Her employer went over to get the calendar on the wall saying the date for the confused woman the look on her face of utter disbelief of the date? That was odd. Standing up, she was asking to go get something to eat for the young woman as she left the two of them alone in the sitting room. Kates mind was racing now, she was freaking the fuck out. It was 1867? Two years after the Civil War Ended? President Lincoln had been shot and was dead and she was there in the same time It had been June 8th 2015 the last that she knew and now Oh yeah, I thought it was about that date. How was this happening? Did she have to jump into the trench to try and get back? I just didnt know how long I was out for She was going to have to guard her words and remember her history. So, you must be Mr. Benjamin Wilson? She said seeing the look of surprise on his face. She knew his name because his damn picture had been in the museum part of the Ranch. Although, it was not like she could tell him, so she had to come up with a story. I am starting to get my memory back. She said softly. When did the town get a teacher? Im a teacher and I was seeing if you had anyone in your household who would be enrolling in school? She started wondering if that was a good lie. And I was coming towards the ranch when my horse got spooked and I fell off of it and it went running and I fell in the ditch or trench. She started hoping that made perfect sense. Your sister and brother look like they are the right age? She was referring to Susan and Jesse.

RE Yearning Steer Penner and AR Random Western Titles. Ben sighed, feeling a rush of relief as she finally started talking in ways he could understand. He nodded, it didn't surprise him to hear her horse had spooked. In his experience women riders weren't all that great at keeping their rides calm. It did surprise him that she knew his name, but he supposed as the Yearning Steer was one of the larger ranches in the area people would talk about him and his family. He didn't like it, but he knew it must happen. He settled himself into a chair near to her, suddenly understanding that he was kind of towering over her and that probably wasn't very comforting. He didn't know much but he did know he needed Luke to go to school and if this woman was the teacher he needed to be in her good graces. He perched on the edge of the chair, arms resting on his legs as he leaned forward. Sister? He repeated, Ain't got a sister. That girl is... What was her name? He'd heard it a few times, of course but it didn't really register or stick. After too long a pause he shrugged, just the help. I do got a brother, and I am hoping you'll take him into your class. Hell no! Jesse emerged from his hiding place, No way I'm going to some stupid school! I wasn't talkin' about you, fool. Ben growled, And didn't I tell you to get out? But Ben- Out! Ben snapped, leaving no room for argument in his tone or his expression. Jesse spat on the floor, tilted his hat to the teacher with a soft 'ma'am' and stormed out, slamming the door behind him. Ben sighed, looking back to the teacher, Sorry, ma'am. He's a bit head strong. So uh... what's your name, then?
