it was a bleak evening in the castle. the only light being from the candles and the glowing hearth of the fire. your husband, the king, or better known to you as hal was missing. in only a few short days him and his men head for france and he was currently missing. you knew where to find him, where he always goes days before battle.

the chapel.

you pace towards the chapel, opening the heavy doors as quietly as you can. you look down the aisle to see hal knelt in prayer, his hands clasped with a rosary wrapped around them. he was concentrated, reverent, but you didn't dare disturb him. you sat on a nearby pew, waiting.

when he finished his prayers, he gives himself one final sign of the cross and gets up slowly. he turns to see you sitting on the pew.

"you knew where to find me then" he said, his voice gruff, almost choked. he rubs a hand over his tired face. he sits next to you on the wooden pew, lets out a sigh, his elbows on his knees.
