*Creak, creak*

Kale: Sekhmet, stop that, please.

*Creak, creak, creak*

Kale: Stop that.

*Creak, creak, creak, creak*

Kale: I said STOP!

*CREAK, CREAK, CREAK, CREAK, CREAK, CREAK, CRE…*

*SLAM!!!*

*Silence…*

Kale: Ahh…thank the good lord….

He leaned back in his chair to savor the silence. He had to stay at the castle while Anubis and Dais were out on patrol. Sekhmet had apparently found a creaking chair and decided to irritate him with it. Sekhmet was the insane one of the four, and found pleasure in driving everyone else to insanity.

The door to the room opened and shut with a soft click. Anubis and Dais were back from their rounds. They looked absolutely exhausted.

Kale: Anything new?

Dais looked over at an unconscious Sekhmet and sighed.

Dais: He found a chair that squeaks?

Kale: Oh yes…as always…..

Dais: I see.

*Anubis and Dais pulled up the remaining chairs and decided to discuss that day's business.*

*Ten minutes later…*

*…..eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee…………*

Anubis looked over his shoulder. Nothing there.

*………eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee…….eeeee…..*

*All three looked over to see Sekhmet dragging his nails over a chalkboard.*

All: STOP THAT!!!!

*Sekhmet runs off.*

Kale: Now, since Mr. Insanity is off pestering someone else, how was the watch?

Dais: I don't even see the point in keeping watch when Talpa has been gone for quite some time…

Kale: The whole reason is to keep away from him.

*Kale points to Sekhmet, who is taking a nap.*

*All thank god.*

Anubis: I guess insanity takes a lot out of one.

*Dais whips out poker cards.*

Dais: Anyone for cards?
