Malachi followed after Nettie and Crane, looking over the exterior of the building again as he did.
Solid stone, near enough to the church, filled with only women.
An absolute nightmare for him, but a perfect place for her.
His eyes returned to Nettie's face when he felt a tap on his arm, and he offered a smile.
"Yes," answered Malachi, confident in its truth so far. "As long as you are safe and happy with it yourself."
With hope, the interior would be just as reassuring. He stood tall behind Crane and Nettie when the door was opened, considering for a moment how strange a trio they must have seemed. A priest, a constable, and a young woman seeking shelter.
Malachi kept quiet and allowed Crane to take care of the introductions. He was quickly beginning to think that the less he had to rely on his own words, the better, when it came to making good impressions in Whitby, and for now he relied on his smile instead.
