A Maid's Braid

Mistress, I cannot let you go off to war alone. Not least are you forbidden from doing so, but if you were to disguise yourself as a man who would keep your secret? Who would help you on the battle field?

Please allow me to accompany you on this most dangerous of missions. Please! There is nothing I desire more than to remain at your side.

Oh, Mistress, I would love to tell you why, but I cannot. Please do not insist upon it. I would never lie to you, not ever, but I cannot help but feel afraid at what the truth might mean. Please do not ask me to bare my soul to you.
