Percy wanders in after a while, having finished seeding the long rows with sugar and garden peas. His hands and knees are dirty, but at least that's accomplished, work is good, and the funny sad feeling that's been lingering in his belly lately is dull (it's Lent, so he doesn't see anything to be surprised at; everything's sadder in Lent).
Sagramore has managed, somehow, to find out about Laurel's death, and given the regularity with which he visits Helen now that he's how her absence has gone equally noted. Throw in the trouble with Molly and his inability to find the perpetrator, he is not in the best of humours.
As usual, he's chosen to temper that with alcohol of the strongest variety possible. He is, however, a little off his beaten path in that he's managed to wander off into the forest. His real purpose here was to find Dinadan and be wretched and frustrated and drunk at him, but who knows if Dinadan's even in?
Anyway, that's the short explanation for why he is standing unsteadily at the door to the cottage, knocking on it insistently, and experiencing a fair amount of difficulty in staying upright.
Cimorene is, at the moment, the only one home (well, perhaps Haynes, but who knows with him). "It's open, damnation, just a second!" she shouts, as her hands are full, but a moment later is opening the door.
...he was not, apparently, anyone she might have been expecting. "Afternoon." She blinks.
