Eldryia had finally, -finally- managed to get away. Away from the screaming hordes of nieces and nephews she had to watch on a daily basis. Away from the crazy and the loud and the constant whining. Yes, she had offered to help, and it was a small price to pay to still be able to live in the palace, but sometimes it just drove her a bit nuts.
Why would anyone ever willingly subject themselves to children? It just didn't make any sense at all to the Torquehelm. She crept along the edge of the narrow passageway, listening closely to the scatterings of conversation going on below her...but today, she just needed space. She wasn't even interested in what they were saying. With a hop, the Feline dropped gracefully down from her perch to land on the floor of a rather deserted hall way. No one ever came down this way, so she should be safe.
A relieved smile crossed her features as she poked her muzzle into an unused bed room and found it just as empty as she had hoped. There were no sheets on the bed, but it was comfortable enough anyway. Curling up upon it, Eldy purred softly, kneading the mattress a bit before closing her eyes and allowing herself to relax. There were enough others to help with babysitting duties for the busy Queen and King of Hearts that she shouldn't be needed at least until tomorrow, and she was tired enough to drift off before her mind could stray into any sort of upsetting territory, such as pondering over the depressing state of her future--or lack thereof.
Perfect.
