((I'm super happy to let someone find them x'D))

The warm sunshine and Jei's soft breathing lulled Kellan into a sleep. In the overgrown patch, the two made a delicate picture. In the spring of their youth and the autumn of the garden, each holding onto the other. Their faces serene to the casual observer.

When the sun was high in the sky, one such casual observer came walking on by. He had on the starched shirt which every servant wore, only his sleeves and trousers were rolled up unlike any servant of the house. It was the stable master surveying the grounds. He did so each month to make sure the ground was alright for the horses, for horses were his one true love.

Seeing the figures in the distance, the stable master laughed at first, thinking it was two young lovers. Perhaps Master Kellan had finally taken a liking to a girl. Or maybe Serra had caught to eye of some young lad.

Walking closer (he walked closer for his care of horses outweighed any thoughts of propriety or privacy), he noticed with a sudden start that it was the two young masters. He walked up to the overgrown garden and shifted his weight from foot to foot. Of course, this could simply be a display of brotherly affection, the stable master thought, but Master Kellan and Master Jei had never displayed affection for any lady before.

The stable master stepped forwards, rustling fallen leaves, then quickly stepped backwards. He was stuck, caught in the indecision of parting or staying. For the first time, he felt what young ladies of the time sometimes felt, "quite scandalized."
