"Coming!"

Millie set down the book she was reading to get to the door, but Meg bet her to it. The little creature jumped from her place on the nearby table and grabbed the doorknob.

"...Well, that works! And hello, Lord Larsa!" Millie smiled. "Can I help you?"

The sudden appearance of Millie in the doorway almost startled the young prince, and he glanced up quickly in surprise, almost as though he hadn't expected her to answer the door. He shook it off and returned the smile.

"I am hoping that you can. I'm sorry for bothering you at such a time, but I was..." For a moment, he paused, debating how to say it without sounding desperate. Which he was not, just to clarify. Truly.

"... I was hoping you could provide me with something."

Millie plucked Meg from the doorknob and ushered Larsa in. "What is it?" she asked, worried. "Did something happen?"

He held up a gloved hand, stepping into her room and admiring its decor for a moment. "Oh, no, nothing has happened. But... well, you see, it appears the kitchens are low in stock of a certain brand of tea. I have come asking a favor, Millie." The boy turned on his heel, some few paces away from her bed.

"You would not happen to have any Darjeeling tea in your possession, would you?"

Children were bestowed many qualities, the most notable being naivety. And innocence. But they were also guaranteed disadvantages that they could only ever understand with age. Death was one of these things. How one so young could possibly understand that a person had lost their life and left this world was both a blessing and a curse. Being relieved of the sorrow, the agony -- there was nothing more desirable. And yet, naivety was an intrusion that made children incapable of feeling anything beyond curiosity. But they could not be blamed ( ... )

"But it's so sad that they all died," Millie pointed out, sniffing. "And you're so strong for handling it so well! I don't think I could do it if one of my siblings died," she admitted.

Meg waddled over and worked her way in between the two humans. She wanted hugs too.
