-breakfast tea and some scones. If you need anything else, Princess, you only need call me. The Master has stressed that you are to be treated well and every request granted, so I am at your service.

It's been awfully quiet now

[ferntickled]

I...I lost someone very dear to me, in the floods and I haven't even had the time to mourn him because I've been so busy.

He deserved so much better.

I, ah...

Is everything alright, Miss?

[ferntickled]

Oh I didn't- I didn't mean to cause a fuss. I just...

This is the first time I've had a moment to myself since the floods and I lost someone very special to me during that tragic day.

[mercury_sparrow]

My sincerest condolences, then. The loss of loved ones is never an easy burden to bear.

[ferntickled]

In such a short amount of time I have lost so many people close to me. A few months ago I was surrounded by so many of them and now...

I suppose I'll just have to carry on for them.
