An Evening by the Scottish Fireside: Murron MacClannough and Princess Isabelle
Murron: Good evening, Princess Isabelle. It’s rare to have a night with such calm over our lands. The stars above seem brighter tonight, don’t you think?
Isabelle: Indeed, Murron. I’ve always said the Scottish skies outshine those of any other place. It’s as if they reflect the bravery and spirit of the people here—yours especially.
Murron: Ah, you flatter me. But tell me, how are you adapting to our rugged terrain and even more rugged countrymen?
Isabelle: They are… spirited, to say the least. But I find comfort in sincerity, even at its rawest. The French court could learn a thing or two from the Scots about honesty.
Murron: Aye, the truth often cuts deeper than any sword in these parts. But speak it we must, especially when it concerns our freedom. We’re not the subtle type, I’m afraid.
Isabelle: Nor should you be. I’ve heard much about William’s fight for that freedom. I admire your courage, Murron—both you and William, standing against such great odds.
Murron: Thank you, Isabelle. We do what we must, for future generations, if not for ourselves. But tell me, in your heart, do you feel the same fire for Scotland?
Isabelle: More with each passing day. I came here bound by duty, but now my heart tugs at the cause of your freedom. It is a noble fight, and one I feel a kinship to, perhaps beyond what I’d expected.
Murron: That kinship is the greatest ally we can hope for. Should Wallace hear of it, he’d surely count another friend among us, and a princess no less!
Isabelle: I only wish to see justice and peace for a land that deserves both. And perhaps, to find peace within my own heart as well. In your eyes, Murron, I see that peace is worth any struggle.
Murron: You’re kind. We fight, but we also hope for days where tales like ours are only spoken of by fireside. Let us weave those stories together—stories of courage and undying hope.
The crackling fire provides the perfect backdrop to their shared dreams and whispered hopes, their resolve tempered by the warmth they draw from each other’s company, casting long shadows of future alliances that begin with mutual respect and shared aspirations.
