p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; text-align: left;"To begin with, I was walking home to our place at Court after my shift with Lissa. It was a pretty decent evening (or, well, morning in vampiric terms) with no real wind and the early autumn sun beating down on me./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; text-align: left;"I remember basking in the heat. A little sun now and then is a sort of gift for a dhampir like me. A little indulgence is also great when you're a royal guardian./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; text-align: left;"I rounded the corner to our little hovel. A fair warning, living at Court is great, but when both inhabitants of your house are top guardians with top jobs and a general lack of free time that isn't spent screwing the brains out of each other, there's little to no time to clean, dust, re-arrange, etc. And even Dimitri the Russian god can't keep up with those goddamned weeds./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; text-align: left;"So I stepped around a small colony of nettles poking up from under the cement slabs of our doorstep and braced myself to sink into our ideally quaint little home, hoping to be assaulted with the smell of homemade apple pie and the clean soapy smell of an adoring husband (as cheerful oldies musical sways gently in the background, of course)./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; text-align: left;"And sure, when I did push open the door, I was assaulted. But definitely not in a good way./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; text-align: left;"God, that nail-on-board shrieking, I assure you, was assault enough. Ten strigoi over our comrade here's singing./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; text-align: left;"Disgusted, I stomped to the source of the noise, and without pausing for thought, I burst through the door of the bathroom...to the sight of our favourite guardian as bare as the day he was born, head thrown back, shrieking white noise to the ceiling passionately./p
