World Outside Time: 4 days later

[heartandfire.livejournal.com]

Jubee lay on the grassy courtyard, bathing in the sunlight and feeling happy and content for the first time in a long while.

She was stretched out, laying in the yellow dress with her notebook, torn a little and battered, but fine other than a bloodstain on the cover, laying open in front of her. She'd purposefully ignored the pages before these ones, concentrating on the better times as she described the castle and the grounds, Sir James, Anmut, and everything that had happened so far.

On the ground next to her Steve was curled up, asleep as usual, and behind her Sir James and Anmut sat, also enjoying the day.

Things saluted all around her, and the glasses seemed to giggle with tinkly laughter. The broom gave another excited twirl, then trotted out off down the halls to get Sir James.

"Ok, guys, only servers and eating-ware now. I'll see you back in the kitchen," she grinned, almost skipping away down the halls until she finally got out to where Anmut was.

"Hey, Anmut, dinner's ready," she called, grinning hugely.

The winged woman looked around from where she perched on the railing of a balcony that directly overlooked the nothingness of the sky stroking a small dragon like the ones that Jubilee had seen a few days before. "Alright. I am coming, Leibling. Are ve eating in your room again?"

"Nah," she said, giving her quick instructions up to the balcony. "I figured eating outside... it's so pretty out. You know, nice. But I've gotta run up to my room real quick, so why don't you head on up there now and I'll catch up later?"

"No, you mustn't run. You are not vell enough yet, Leibling." Anmut stopped and gave her an anxious look.

"Oh," she stopped and hid a laugh. "Ok, don't worry, Anmut, I'll go slow and easy. I promise."

"Danke." The winged woman twitched her ears at her, then dove off the railing and was gone.

She smiled, then turned and went inside, heading for the kitchen. This would be great."
