Emory Cottage is a tiny house surrounded by foliage. It was built in the early 1700s, and the roof is sagging slightly. Other than that, the property is beautiful and in good condition.

The horse galloped towards the cottage, and Jo was grinning from ear to ear. This was so much fun, running from the captain and escaping that boring ball.

He tied the horse to a hiching post and took her hair.

(Hope you meant 'hand', otherwise hair would be rather painful.)

She jumped down, giggling like a schoolgirl.

He opened the door. "This is my home.."

She looked around.

"It's... quaint." she said, looking at how small this house was in comparison to her own.

"Its what I have."

She nodded.

"I see."

"Want some dinner?"

She smiled.

"No thank you." she said. "I've already eaten."

She looked around the house and found something that she thought she might find useful later.

"Whatya got there?"

She glanced back.

"Nothing." she said. "I was just admiring your... furnishings."

"I saw you pick somthing up,' he grinned.

She shook her head and held open her hands.

"I'm a very poor theif." she said with a smile.

"I'll teach you."

(What did he take?)

((She hasn't taken anything... yet... :P))

She tilted her head and looked at him.

"How?"

"By seeing if you can take take my war metal." He hung it front of her.

She smiled.

"I'll see what I can do." she smiled.

He stuffed it into his pocket.

(Dublin?)

((*facepalm* right...))

Jo pretended not to notice and started to wander around the house.

"It's rather old, isn't it?"

"I sopose."

She looked at the brick pillars that seemed to support the house.

"You live here alone?" she asked.

He nodded.

"Sad." she said, messing with her hair absentmindedly. "Do you have any family at all?"

"No, miss."

"None at all?" she said in genuine disbelief.

She started to walk around the house.

"Surely someone like you has family somewhere." she said. "No aunts or uncles? Were your brothers killed in the war?"

She disappeared behind one of the walls and messed with her hair a little more.

"Yes they were."

She came back around, her hair on her shoulders.

"I'm sorry." she said. "I didn't realize."

She came close and looked up at him.

"Its alright. You look very pretty with your hair unkept."

She smiled.

"Thank you." she said. "The pins get annoying after awhile."
