Waiting

Princesses are not known for their patience. This day especially she fumed in less than silence.

"Gump!" She called out again for the 10th time. "I want to talk to you!"

Nothing. If you could call the sweet bird songs and lulling hum of insects to be nothing.

Time ticked by. This time she didn't ask, she demanded. The sun passed over her head and the forest went on ignoring her. Cajoling, sweet Lily implored the wise Gump for help. A rabbit hopped by, not even bothering to glance her way as it passed.

And on she waited.
