Tea
This must be his sixth cup today and it's not even dinner time yet!
He giggles manically.
You're in a good mood today, she says. What she means is, I'd like to have some fun, too, your castle is so dark and I miss music and dancing.
He gives her a look. It hasn't got any special purpose but she's embarrassed because she's forgotten her place again.
He likes his tea strong, with a lot of sugar.
Sweet like her smile and dark like her gaze when she looks out the barred window.
