Aelin
I always loved sliding around the castle barefoot when I was young and now I realise it is even better naked!
Giggling, I glided down the halls sliding around the corners searching for a particular room and dodging guards along the way.
Once I found it I placed my hand on the doorknob and carefully twisted it so that the locks noiselessly clicked open, easing the door open I cautiously placed one silent foot after another into the dressing room and began to cautiously search through the drawers.
Urgh does no one here have any proper nightclothes?
Finally, after shuffling through every drawer at the very back of the bottom drawer I found the most beautiful shimmering metallic gold nightgown, it seemed to move like fire as the moonlight shone on it.
Yes, I think this should do quite nicely
I slipped it on and skipped over to the bed and carefully slid in.
Lyria
As Rowan slept peacefully next to me that night I thought about how he rejected me earlier that evening.
No he didn't reject you Lyria stop complaining I imagine he is just tired by the sounds of it today has been quite an ordeal for him!
After shaking that silly thought from my head I then thought about a certain guest of ours. Aelin. I've never felt like this about anyone before, this immediate dislike of someone. But I am sure that if Rowan trusts her enough to invite her into our home and let her sleep so close to us then she must be nice once you get used to her.
Tomorrow I'm going to try to talk to her and see if we can become friends which I'm sure Rowan wishes us to be.
And with that thought I drifted off to sleep.
Aelin
The next morning I was rudely awoken by a high pitched ear piercing scream.
"What on earth do you think you're doing?!?!?" Lyria screeched.
Sitting up I looked painfully at Rowan and said,
"I am extremely disappointed in your hosting skills Rowan, not giving your guests reasonable sleeping attire is despicable!"
"I knew I should have barricaded the door." He muttered, " what's the time anyway?"
"3:47 in the morning not even sunrise." I replied glancing at the clock on the wall, "Better get back to sleep."
As Rowan and I settled back down to go to bed i looked up at a very shocked and confused Lyria who I imagine is now worried about my mental health.
"It's okay Lyria, she won't leave anyway even if I did manage to remove her, she'd find a way back in" Rowan soothed.
With a disgruntled sigh Lyria also went back to bed albeit to the very edge of her side of the bed.
"After all there's always another door!" I exclaimed and snuggled closer to Rowan who responded with a chuckle and I'm sure a smirk was plastered on his face. The bastard.
Waking up later that morning was rather pleasant I was nice and warm nestled under the covers with Rowan warming my back, glancing at the clock I saw that it was 7:45 ,
Hmm quite late for me
I jumped out of bed which earned some annoyed moans, suddenly very awake for some reason I skipped into the closet and searched for something to wear.
First you might want to find out if you and Rowan are training today stupid!
I ducked my head back out the closet and asked
"Hey are we training today Rowan or am I finally getting a well earned break?"
Rowan gazed groggily over to me, " No lets just relax today you can go shopping or something if you want"
"Rowan Whitethorn requesting a day off?!?!?" I gasped " Why you must be getting lazy in your old age!"
"Hilarious, now leave me alone" he rolled over towards Lyria shaking his head and went back to sleep.
As I strolled down the street I looked at all the shops and smiling people.
I hope that one day Terrasen can be like this, with laughter ringing off every corner.
As I swept past with my reddy burgundy dress swishing behind me (photo on the side/top) I spotted a cute little chocolate and sweet shop called Evelyn's Chocolate Paradise which immediately caught my eye, gazing into the window I gazed at all the marvellous chocolates on display.
There are so many of them! How will I ever choose?!?
I walked into the little shop and gushed over every chocolate and sweet for what seemed like forever reading each name and seeing which looked the nicest and which I thought I would like the most, finally I decided on 2 boxes of chocolates which had white chocolate mixed with a little of milk chocolate and milk chocolate mixed with a little of white chocolate, they all had a soft praline centre and were in the shape of sea shells and sea horses. I also bought 500g of fizzy sour strawberries, 200g of blueberry bonbons and lastly some sherbet with a strawberry flavoured lolly to dip into it.
After paying and praising Miss Evelyn for her amazing little shop and beautiful sweets and chocolates I headed to the library where I found a new series of books to read! They were about a girl who lived in a world where demons are hunted by demon hunters but no humans know this, she only finds out when she starts to remember previously hidden memories and of course there is a hot guy to accompany her and help her along the way along with other demon hunters and her best friend. After wandering around a bit more buying odd bits and pieces it began to get dark so I headed back. On the way home I heard a sharp, loud crying noise, stilling I listened further and once again heard the crying noise which seemed to be coming from underneath an old beaten down bush. I cautiously put my bags down and crept forward on silent feet and slowly peered underneath the bush. Beneath it was a black lump, crawling further to get a better idea of what this lump was I began to see a snout and tail and four oversized paws.
By the wyrd! It's a dog!
Talking slowly to the dog I gently eased him out from under the bush, once I had gotten the dog out I placed him on his feet so I could properly see what was wrong with him. Shocked I gasped
"Oh you poor poor thing! You're skin and bones!"
Gently picking the dog up which it accepted gratefully and relaxed into my welcoming arms I carried on home after swinging my bags onto my shoulder careful not to disturb the black dog and began to think up names for the dog which now appeared to be a girl.
Poor little girley I've been thinking of you as a boy! Hmm now let's think
Lottie?
Noodles?
Bonbon?
Sugar?
Sugababe? Haha
Alice?
Spring?
Or maybe Kora?
Elsa?

Thanks for reading this series so far and thanks for recommending the idea of Aelin stealing Lyria's nightgown to me Moona8Luna I'm going to continue that thought in the next chapter which I'm going to try and get done a bit quicker now.
