OOM: by the lake

[farouche_bravoure]

Fantine is out for a walk by the lake. A thunderstorm has just cleared up. The air is fresh and calm, and the sun's just decided to start showing its face again. Fantine has her pet skylark with her, and he's cheeping at nothing in particular.

After she's been walking for a while, she perches onto a rock by the water, and watches as the skylark hops around in front of her.

Bahorel is taking his time about getting back to the Bar for a quick break. He stops when he sees Fantine, and starts to call a greeting-- and stops again, waving instead, when he sees the bird hopping around uncaged at her feet.

His voice, when he's close enough to speak quietly, is low and delighted. "It is a skylark. I haven't seen them here at all. --Yours?"
