“Hello,” the knight said to her when she first approached him. “Who are you? What are you doing here? Are you a handmaid from a local house come to fetch me?” He was glad to see another human after so long, which did not seem like so long.

“Hello, Lost Knight. I am Jocelyn, and I was sent here, not to take you home, but to keep you company,” she said and sat down beside him.

Baffled, he looked at her and said, “I beg your pardon, but if you know the way home I must order you to show me back. I don’t want to stay out here any longer.”

“I cannot do that, sir. By my master’s order, which I am bound by, I can only keep you company, and only stay for a short period.”

Grumpy and tired, the knight took her in and let her stay.
