The ones you're searching for are not the important ones. Remember that if you can.

Now I am going to go cook dinner for my family. Maybe you should do the same.

I've been enjoying my job lately, the family who I nanny for has two lovely children who both have been rather enthusiastic about the games I've introduced them to. The boy is at that age where he enjoys seeing the soldiers, and has spent more than a few hours telling me all about how one day he'll be one of them. The girl just wants to be a princess.

At least the weather has been nice, for what it's worth.

We must speak when you have the time. It's about news I have heard about your region involving an issue of mine. No doubt you've heard the rumours of the runaways. Get back to me when possible.

Stay alert, you may be setting sail shortly.

I STUBBED MY TOE ON THE END TABLE FOR THE LAST TIME. I want it thrown out and axed. Into itty-bitty pieces. And then I'll just buy two new end tables so clearly the other one MUST go. IS THE PARTY WHO IS THE MUSCLE IN THIS HOME READING?

In other news, Mary brought in a baby bird and won't tell me where she hid it because apparently I'll 'throw it out'.

She's not precisely wrong as baby birds have no place in the house. Ugh.

[Perhaps being light on her feet was a natural ability or perhaps it was a matter of study. No one would really know and Selene wasn't over eager to enlighten them lest it should interfere with her small joys. The less they knew, the better.

The curtains were exactly what she'd desired them to be. She could easily hide behind them without being noticed. She'd even managed to make sure they sat in a way so she could climb up and be unnoticed should someone come to find her. Sometimes she was able to plan ahead enough. It was only because it was important to her.

As the sounds of Galahad's breath slowly evened and fell into its normal sleeping rhythm, Selene peeked her head out from behind the curtains. Such a sweet face, such angelic features. He was so much more peaceful looking when he slept. She crept over closer to his bed, lowering into a seated position as she watched him, tempted sorely to reach out and touch his hair. She didn't. He would wake and find her out and then her fun would be over.

Instead she rested her chin in her hands, just watching and taking in the little details of him sleeping: the way his nose twitched when a strand of hair fell over his face, the way his eyes moved under eyelids, the little noises he made. Yes, Selene decided, her Czar was perfect in his slumber.

Before too much time passed and someone came to check, she stood and moved quietly to the door and slipped out.]
