In the Morning...

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 52196

Henri was the first to wake, as he was used to early mornings. Astra was asleep for a few minutes longer before she finally reluctantly stirred. Turning around in bed, she noticed that Henri was looking at her. "Morning, Princess," he said.

She mumbled something that Henri didn't catch. Opening a drawer, he retrieved some fresh clothes for himself. He closed this one, but opened another further down, where he retrieved some fresh clothing for Astra.

Leaving hers on the bed, he carried his into his private washroom, where after twenty minutes, he opened the door. Astra, who had now got up, looked slightly envious at how bright and fresh-faced he looked. Back in Aqualaria, she could recall how it used to take around her around an hour and a half just to get anywhere as close.

She went to the wash area, before sheepishly returning back for her fresh clothes. Still not fully awake, she was determined that she would not take any longer than Henri had. Not that, as she realised later when full control of her faculties, Henri would have thought anything less of her if she had.

When she finally emerged, she asked Henri, "Have you got any training planned for today?"

  1. "Yes," he replied. He took something from yet another drawer. It appeared to be a small hollow piece of bamboo cane.
  2. "No," he said, grinning. "Even I have time off sometimes."
