love until we bleed;

What an exhausting day.

I see. Well, you have been spinning ‘round in circles. Any new gossip?

Other than the Queen being with child? Nay. I do not think so. [keeps her eyes averted]

What an exhausting day.

Misery was painful to watch. Much harder when felt. [sighs then forms a smile to change the subject] So, how far have you gone with your reading? 

[looks turns sheepishly] Not far, I admit. I got so distracted with the boys and duties and... And other things around the castle.

What an exhausting day.

If you think anything is occurring with me, you are sadly mistaken, brother. [shrugs, glancing down]

I guess that sounds better than anything horrible happening at all, sister. 

[sighs] I wish no horribleness would occur. I worry for everyone, especially you all and the boys.

What an exhausting day.

Several things. Paranoia, mostly. Enough about me. How about you?

If you think anything is occurring with me, you are sadly mistaken, brother. [shrugs, glancing down]

What an exhausting day.

Exhaustion, I guess. And I haven’t been sleeping well. But then that’s my mind to blame.

What has been troubling you so much?

What an exhausting day.

What an exhausting day.

What an exhausting day.
