Sunni was still a little miffed at Ursa's trick of the sleeping agent in the water, but there was nothing she could do about it now but follow her instructions. Sunni barely made it to her room before the full effect of root kicked in. Sunni was able to get to her bed in time and lay on it before she was out like a light. She didn't even bother to get under the covers or remove her belt or boots to get more comfortable to sleep. It had been a while since she had taken a nap; her last naptime was when she was Cubbi's age, and that was due to the fact she had been recovering from an illness that had bedridden her for a month. Sunni started to dream; she was back to when she was Cubbi's present age.
Near Past
"Sunni, are you ever going to get up dear?" Grammi said early one morning. The yellow cub woke up but was not fully awake yet. "Come on sweetheart, you have to get up now. I have to get you and Cubbi dressed dear. Remember we're going to the Northern Mountains today, and I still have to do a lot before we can all leave."
Sunni looked at Grammi and was sleepy but got up. After which, Grammi cleaned her face and then removed her footy pajamas and dressed her in a blue jumper style dress and matching boots, followed by a bow in her backswept hair.
"Grammi, do I have to have a bow?"
Grammi nodded, "Yes dear, at your age it's easier to keep your hair neat this way than if it's loose. And with the traveling we're about to take in the quick tunnels today, I don't have the time to recomb your hair once we arrive there."
Present
While the knights and council members discussed Ursa and Gritti's statement, the Barbic leader pulled Gritti aside.
Ursa, after checking to make sure her cub was sleeping soundly, had joined her second in command in the main hall. Now, she looked at Gritti, "Gritti, watch these council members and knights to make sure they don't do anything stupid. And can you listen for Buddi for a few minutes, maybe check on him for me? I want to check on Sunni; I just want to make sure she fell asleep in her bed, I saw the root take effect fast but it seemed to effect her faster then it does Buddi."
Gritti nodded, "Go to her, with the others not here, you're the only familiar female adult she has here." Ursa nodded and walked off and soon walked over and into Sunni's chambers.
