Rose liked wandering. Other than the fact it took her mind off the ever forboding NEWTS she found that it was a great way to explore the castle. Who knew that the staircase had 23 steps? *sigh* So she'd been bored...and in a extremely procrastinative mood. So ignoring the ever looming pile of textbooks and homework she'd gone for a walk. Again. For the third time this week. Gawd, did she need a distraction.
The little thing's she picked up along the way were amusing...if you happened to want to know that Sir Geoffrey of Kensington had a crush on Lady Cavendish but otherwise she'd found a painting that didn't move..as it's occupant was hung over with the all the 400 year old wine he'd consumed and Rose was occuping herself watching tiny mice frolick and chase each other's tails about the frame. It took her a moment to register someone had spoken to her.
"Whaa?" She exclaimed following the source of the sound. It was little girl...well not little as she was only slightly shorter than Rose but little as she had dimples and looked about 12. "Oh..hello!" The little girl announced that she gave people presents...when she first meet's them and Rose frowned confused but slightly flattered that someone had thought she was pretty nice just by standing next to her. Before she had a chance to thank her..or indeed take the gift the little girl bounced away, "Wha..wait!" Grabbing the small box she ran after her, red hair flying wayward. "Wait up!" Just because she was thin didn't mean she had any sort of condition.
