“As a matter of fact I do I am having dinner with Kit.”

“And afterwards?”

“I have a long awaited meeting with my bed.”

“Okay, before you do join me in having a drink or two?”

“Molly, I don’t know, “she says unsurely.

“Come on promise there will be no cows milk in it!”

Not able to contain her laughter, “Sure why not, “she finally agrees. Hugging her in excitement she smiles at her.

“See you this evening, “she says before walking off.

Kaicus…..

Nothing could prepare her for the tongue lashing she received from Maru once she informed her about the attack on Alani (Alice). In all her years she had never seen her so upset as presumed she demanded those responsible be found at once. After what seemed liked hours she convinced her she had things under control. Now, under her watchful eye no further attacks on her life would occur. Upon seeing her bruised face and the injuries she sustained she was reluctant to invite her into her home after all she was no ones baby sitter not even the future queen herself. Ultimately she made the decision as it was the only way to ensure her safety until she was under the protection of Queen Maia and Natticulus.

Still fearful the first few days she remained to herself not speaking a word nor eating. Forcing herself not to be concerned Jaeil walked past her daily ignoring her. Upon the fourth day, her health appeared to be withering if she did not intervene she would soon join the afterlife and her death would be Jaeils to blame. While lying motionless on the floor Jaeil reluctantly picked her up into her arms and carried her to her private bath. With the water already drawn, a clean towel and cloth laid over a wooden bench along with scented oils and a clean gown. Leaving her to herself she closed the door behind her giving her privacy. Sitting in the living room with Ate she was angry with herself as she found herself beginning to worry as an hour passed and she had yet to emerge from the bath.

“Fuck, “she says to herself before reluctantly standing to her feet to check on her before she could turn around the sound of the door opens. Emerging from her bath, with her long blonde hair still damp, and gown clinging to her body she made no eye contact with no one other than the floor. In a corner she made a neatly make shift closet placing her soiled clothes in a bag she hoped to rise early in the morning to wash them. Returning to the same spot on the floor she leaned her back against the table, her knees pressed against her chest she stared at the wall. Taking a deep breath Jaeil walks slowly towards her. Feeling her presence her body immediately begins to tremble like it had so many times before. She was still very much scared and feared Jaeil greatly. She stood next to her not saying a word assuming she was in her way looking up at her meeting her gaze she quickly turned away.
