The morning sun peeked through the small windows in the room of my cabin. I had been up long ago, but in a desperate attempt at enjoying my half day off, I had tried to sleep in.

Yeah, I failed.

I groaned and wormed my way a little further into my warm covers. The smell of coffee worked it's way into my covers, making me want to get up. There was a rap at my door.

"MMMM!" I groaned, working my way farther into the covers.

"Wake up Jaci."

"Ugh."

"Get up."

"You said I could have the day off."

"I lied."

"No duh." I muttered softly to myself, and pulled the covers off. The day was beautiful. Blue streams of light filtered into my room, and not a cloud was in sight.

I choose a silver shirt, with a see through black long sleeve one under it. A long flowing green skirt a componys it, matching my rangers cloak. I braid my long blonde hair down my back, and finnally pulled on a pair of soft leather boots. Glancing myself over in the mirror, I decide that Halt can't object, hurridly pick up my room and make my bed, and then walk down the hall into the kitchen.

"I see you finnally got up." Halt says in his usual monotone voice.

"Don't sass me."

Halt says nothing, but passes me a cup full of coffee, and sits down.

"Why'd ya need me?" I ask.

"We're going to see the Baron."

"Why?"

"Is that all you can say?"

"Why?"

He shrugs. "You'll see when we get there."

Deciding that it would be usless to argue, I indulge myself in the rich, still warm, coffee.
