The first glimpse of Jamie

I shrank back into the shadows near the fireplace, hoping to avoid notice. The man called Murtagh had untied my hands before leading me in here. Perhaps I could slip away while they were busy elsewhere. The men’s attention had shifted to a young man crouched on a stool in the corner. He had barely looked up through my appearance and interrogation, but kept his head bent, hand clutching the opposite shoulder, rocking slightly back and forth in pain.
. . . . . . . . .
Dougal grunted. “Mmph. Out o’ joint, poor bugger. The young man looked up for the first time. Through drawn with pain and stubbled with red beard, it was a strong, good-humored face.
