A Moment of Peace by amyfortuna
B2MeM Prompt, Card and Number: early skyline almost mask from the Four Words card, N42
Format: Drabble
Genre: Character Study
Rating: G
Warnings: None
Characters: Aerin
Pairings: Aerin/Brodda (in the context of a forced marriage)
Summary: Even in the midst of her hard life, Aerin has brief moments of peace.
Aerin arose early, heading out to feed the chickens. The skyline was bright with dawn, the air cool and fresh. No one was about. The chickens chirped eagerly as she spread the seeds, several little chicks cheeping madly as they fought for them. She closed her eyes, breathing in, swathed in quiet joy.
Then there was a call from the house: Brodda was awakening. She needed to go and oversee breakfast. Her genuine smile disappeared, to be replaced with a fixed mask: set lips in neither frown nor grin, carefully cultivated. The day was over almost before it had begun.
