Scotland! pt 3

[likeroaringlions]

William's initial thought had been to avoid Douglas Castle, considering his company: how do you smuggle a Harry Percy around? But after their rough-interrupted night, and a morning that reveals a Parsnip favoring one of his forelegs, and after a glimpse of the dear familiar black Douglas Water, he'd found himself suggesting it as their destination. "We can put up at the inn in the village. Get a proper meal there, anyway. I guess no one's likely to think too much of my not staying at the castle. There's no one there right now anyway, just an old cousin or two."

"If thou think'st it best," Harry agrees. He's not too worried about being known for an Englishman, much less a Percy: he can just let William do the talking. And even if he is overheard, they're getting close enough to the border than his very northern accent wouldn't be such a shock.
