It's too cold.
It's always too cold.
The tall, dark haired Scottish woman raised herself up from her deep slumber, wrapped in her thick blankets. Her hair is frizzy and tussled by sleep. She squinted her crystal blue eyes at the sunlight and yawned; Who does that bloated flaming ball of hot gas the sun thinks he is, going around bringing light to every corner of the world when some people like her would rather kill to get a decent night's sleep.
Begrudgingly, she crawled out if bed, dying a bit more inside as a blast of icy cool air hit her. She grumbled silently about the cold as she slipped on her cozy green gecko print slippers. Vastra grabbed her dark purple robe off the bedpost and tugged it on, despite already wearing ridiculously fuzzy pajamas. She must've looked odd, a well known judge, wrapped in layers of luxurious warmth, wearing slippers complete with geckos sticking their tongues out, bags under her eyes and messy hair. Anyone who's ever worked with her would have never recognized her. Nevertheless, she was still the queen of her own house and could do whatever as she bloody well pleased.
She scratched her head and went straight for the thermostat.
"Why in the bloody hell is this wretched thing set to 20?" She muttered and brought it up to 35, because fuck heating bills. “I could have sworn I had it set to forty last night…..Strax would be convinced that it was the work of some damn spirits. Ha! The only spirits around here are the bottles of scotch and whiskey in my kitchen cabinet.”
She then strolled into the kitchen and turned on the coffee maker. Her phone buzzed from her coat pocket, prompting her to fish it out and see a new message from "potato man child."
{DO YOU STILL NEED A RIDE TO GO OBLITERATE THE DISGUSTING APE SCUM TODAY MADAME?}
Vastra laughed at how extra the little potato cabby is; It was utterly impossible for him to not type everything in all caps.
{Yes, Strax thank you. Be sure to have it heated up before I get there, it’s one of those days again.}
Vastra grabbed her favorite green mug and filled it with black coffee. In one go she downed half the cup before heading off to shower.
