Exile - Finan x Eadith
You're not my homeland anymore; So what am I defendin' now?; You were my town; Now I'm in exile seein' you out. - exile, Taylor Swift
A/N: Just some old stuff i wrote and corrected tonight that i don't remember posting anywhere! Enjoy!
βSo... You are not coming with us?β Finan summarized as they sat on Cocchamβs docks, stunned by her decision.Β
They had received a letter from Lady Aethelflaed in the morning, asking for Uhtred to become the Lord of another small town in the North of Mercia. Rumcofa, she had written, was a Danish settlement and she thought Uhtred was the best person to rule there and protect the border.Β
Eadith shook her head, giving him an apologetic smile whilst her fingers toyed with one of her bracelets. βAfter everything that happened I don't really know who I am anymore.β
The Irishman frowned at her. βYou're Eadith. The fiercest woman I have ever met.β He said, the slight humor in his tone making her laugh. How dearly he loved that sound.Β
