The wood sides were covered in mud and clay. The high sides of the box kept the wind from blowing the fire about and scattering embers. We gave the co...k our corn meal and dried venison. He was very happy with the trade. He told us that the cooks would trade news and receipts at the massed groundings during the winter months. That was why so little was asked to move our people.I resolved that the spare wootz long knives and axe heads were to be left with the cook as a surprise for the captain. I knew that I had to milk the cows soon, but I needed to talk to someone. I quickly followed Dave outside. Dad had stayed inside to help Liz, which gave me my opening."Dave" How can I help you Rich?" By explaining why you never told me that it should be 'Uncle' Dave." What are you talking about?" I heard you in there talking to Dad. The only other girl who could have been your sister would have been Mom." You are becoming a very perceptive young man." Thanks, I think. Have you heard from her?". “All right, true enough. So, what’s your plan for tonight then? Nothing too strenuous, I hope? Heather seems so run down since we got here. But okay, she must’ve put so much fricking time into those photos. That was insane.”“Yeah, it’s been a huge workload. I mean, you saw Tommy’s filters and everything she did for that. So multiply that by five, and add the portraits plus the matting and framing and driving them over, and whatever else ... I’m still not sure she doesn’t have some secret. Hey, Dan... Where they at, buddy?”Dan leaned into the telescope and took a quick peek, which he followed with an appreciative whistle. “I’m late tonight, they’re already onto the main event. That right there, is one well-stuffed lady. On her back, one cock up her arse and the other pounding her pussy from above. Nice.”His hand strayed to his crotch as he watched, adjusting himself. He obviously liked what he saw. Being that he was neither blind nor dead, I couldn’t blame him.He shifted his gaze.
