Sir Garrett could refuse Princess Fina nothing. He figured that the Nelsons' seemed nice enough. Elderly and frumpy looking the couple set off no alarms to Garrett. Friendly and well mannered they were often the princess's companions during the voyage. The princess didn't seem to tire of listening to their stories of simple farm life. The offer of a comfortable stay beckoned to him because he knew there would be little of that soon enough. He stated to the princess, "We will stay at the Nelson's."
The princess grew elated with a big smile on her face, "I will tell them at once." The princess hurried off to the Nelsons' cabin. She wanted to appreciate the simple life, to better understand her subjects. Princess Fina could grace any court honorably with her deportment and class. However, she longed for a simpler life of commoners. The openness and honesty that they lived with drew her too them. She hoped when her love Sir Garrett and her were married she could move among them more. Fina wanted to help those in need along side her beloved. He did not want to keep her as a doll in a glass case to be only admired. He loved her adventurous spirit and desire to good. Fina figured he didn't mind her curvaceous body either. She smiled at the thought of him pulling into a close embrace.
The prospects of alone time at the Nelsons' farm is what made it appealing to her. With 3 bedrooms Albert would no doubt sleep in the barn. Under the cloak of night she could sneak over to Garrett's room. He would not approve but she should have her fun. Sir Garrett would be hard pressed to resist the outfit she wore under her dress. Shear and revealing designed to entice the man she meant to wed. She knocked on the door and heard slow shuffling to the door.
The wooden door gave the creak of a well used door that saw little maintenance. The door opening gave way to the appearance of a kindly looking man. Not a big man but well muscled from hard work. Wrinkled tan skin from being outside often he smiled at the sight of Fina. "Well do you bring good news," Jerrod said hopefully.
Fina smiled, "I do we would be happy to stay with for a day or two if it won't be an imposition."
Jerrod grinned back, "My wife she loves to cook and she doesn't get to make the grand meals like she used to with the children gone. It will be a joy to have some noise in the house again. Now I can't promise a grand house like Sir Garrett might be used to but it will be a sight more comfortable than the swamps will be. And my fine missus puts out a fine spread."
