~ Preparations ~
The Doctor's mouth was moving, but Cyclonis didn't care enough to bother listening. She got the gist that the man was yapping about how to look after the Sky Knight. Seriously, she didn't need a lecture on babysitting. She was used to being his keeper by this point.
"Did you get all that?" he asked.
"Yes, of course." She tried not to roll her eyes.
"I hope so, because it's very important that Aerrow doesn't overexert himself and that he eats properly and-"
Cyclonis flung her hand up in impatience. "Yes, I got it the first time. Just make sure he's ready to leave when I get here."
"You're still planning on leaving a few days early before the festival starts then? Very early in the morning?"
The empress raised an eyebrow. "Is that a problem?"
"I don't, but Aerrow might. He's been spoiled by your company. You've messed up his sleeping schedule, he stays up late and sleeps all day. It's rather unsurprising."
Cyclonis glared, she didn't like the teasing tone that the Doctor had taken. "I'm sure he'll survive."
She turned away to leave, her heavy cloaking swishing as she went. "Just make sure he's ready," she snapped.
A/N: CRAP! I didn't mean to make you guys wait so long for the latest chapter! Real Life kinda of surprised me; I thought it was done with me but apparently not. Gotta love school, and moving into a new apartment. Gaah.
