Had they stopped pestering her? Leonie opened an eye and glanced back at the table.

Leonie clenched her fists and closed her eyes. Everyone was making this so difficult...

"Nope!" Leonie squeaked to herself. "Nope. Too many." She turned around to leave.

Leonie sat up in her bed in the morning, grabbing Shen and giving him a big 'ol hug. "Another beautiful morning to stay inside, hm?" She looked down at her bear. It was giving her that look. "What?" She asked. Leonie set Shen down on her nightstand, propping him up against a lamp. "I need to go sit with the others at breakfast? I know I said I'd try, but..." with another glance at her bear, she sighed. "Fine." She changed into another outfit, pulled on a safehand glove (even though she technically didn't need to wear one yet), and walked out the door.

Leonie, on the other hand, had no trouble falling into a slumber.

"Great! All of us all snug and cozy." Ellis picked off his own footwear, putting his feet out in the rain for a minute or so to dispel the smell.

Leonie found herself smiling. "Thanks." She retreated into her bedroom.

Leonie didn't reply. "I'm... Leonie..." She shrank.

"Sabarial was all mad at us, though."

"I don't think so."

"But that'll be lonely! Come join the rest of us!"

Leonie ran to catch up with her, grabbing her arm and hanging on as they walked up the stairs.

"Not the axehounds!" Leonie frowned. "So, they're like... germs, or something?"

"How do you know there's an infestation if you haven't checked for it yet?"

"Of bugs? Or rats? Ooooh, are there mice? I love mice."

"Then what's in it? Air?"

"What's wrong? It's just an empty room!"

"What? What's wrong?"

"What? Why?" Leonie poked her head inside.

Leonie frowned. "It's... empty?"

"Almost... got it... there!" She opened the last lock, the pulled open the door.

Leonie worked towards the third, but there were a lot of keys on that chain.

"Got the second one! One to go!"

Leonie started working towards the second lock.
