You were in the middle of doing your usual routine, stood in front of a mirror as your ladies-in-waiting delicately dressed you into your nightgown, the soft white lace frills cascading down the hem of the ornate fabric. Your two ladies then gave you a small bow as they took their leave, leaving you to your favorite part of each night. You walked over to your window, leaning against the frame as you called out for your darling knight.

Soft grunts were heard as Avalina made the climb up to your window - using the same route she had been since you were both young. She had been your best friend the second she was appointed your housecarl when you were nine, and since then? You had been inseperable.

With one final grunt, she hoisted herself up through the window, grinning widely as she panted, brushing a few sweaty black hairs back from her forehead. “Hail, princess.” She greeted, giving you a small bow.
