Starstruck
Gabriel had made the circuit around the upper floors of the castle twice by the time he came around the grand staircase again. In the time he had spent wandering he had seen neither hide nor hair of Sonnet, though as he was going through the guest rooms he had been quick to locate her things. It had been far more set up than he had been expecting, it would seem that she had gotten up earlier than he would have given her credit for. Not wanting to be caught prying, he had been quick to let it alone, content with the knowledge that he now knew which room she had chosen for herself in the very least.
He was half way down the staircase when he spotted Sonnet sitting in front of the same fireplace he had been when he was waiting for her hours earlier. By some coincidence or other she had even chosen the same seat.
“I suppose you gave yourself the tour then?” Gabriel commented, as much to announce his presence as to acknowledge hers, as he made his way over to where Sonnet was sitting. His gaze fell onto the bow and quiver and the faint crease that appeared between his eyebrows betrayed his confusion at their presence. “Or were you out hunting? I could have told you that you wouldn’t find anything living within the radius of the castle.”
