Lachlan flashed a smile at Aylwen 'I'll put the cart in the stable and get to it right away!' Climbing up, and waving a thanks to Talan and Tar, he wound the horse and acrt round the back and into the stables. Once he had moved them into a clear space, he sauntered out to find a group of children skipping merrily about the gardens, and some ladies trying to make sure they caused as little trouble as possible.

With a small bow to the girls, he turned to the children 'Aha! What do we have here eh?' Some of the children recognised him and sqealed, and he proceeded to playfully chase them away from the danger of the moving hooves. Eventually getting them to sit down, he looked about for something to keep them occupied. Seeing a pile of stray wood, and a few knives he suddenly had an idea. The beautiful notes of the violin made the children giggle and grin, and when he suggested they make their own music, they were even more excited.

So he took up one of the knoves and began carving small makeshift pipes. Not of the best craft, they allowed only a few off notes. But that was enough to keep the children seated and much amused. Shifting his weight and leaning against the warm brick, he smiled and kept at his carving.
