"Hello! I hope everyone has relaxed and found themselves at home already. Everyone please gather in the dining room as we have snacks set out for those who are a bit famished, afterwards everyone will introduce themselves and say an interesting fact about him or herself. Understood? Wonderful. Now, I will be waiting! The Nurses will be answering the doors from now on."

Finally, she thought to herself. In slow movements she uncurled her feet and placed them on the ground. Vashti stretched and stood, looking around to see where everyone was going. She watched as Adelio marched in front of her, as if leading the way. Absentmindedly she followed him, watching as he surveyed the grand dining room before choosing a seat. Vashti followed his eyes, taking in all the other's faces, their postures, their shadows. Trying to appear confident she stood behind the seat that was directly across from Adelio. "My liege," she grinned jokingly "May I take this seat?"
