Today's OneWord: Fortress

Both Seamus and Rowan stayed in the Old Man's Fortress just on the edge of the Wine Dark Continent. They did not speak to each other. They did not take note of one another's presence. In fact, it was common knowledge that Rowan remained in the western wing of the fortress, while Seamus resided in the eastern wing. And both of them spent hours reading and writing.

The Old Man's Fortress had belonged to a baron about seventy odd years back; no one remembered that, however, because the baron was a raging, inhospitable drunk who had squandered one small town's fortune, causing it to become abandoned and for the noble himself to become nameless - ergo, it was a perfect residence for the isolated and poetic siblings.
