Kaden ran down the hallway to the infirmary, which was on the other side of the palace. It seemed a little inconvienient at the time, but all Kaden could think about was her sister. When she finally arrived, she walked into the room slowly, as not to disturb her sister, because she was sleeping.
"How is she?" Kaden whispered to Markus.
"She's exhausted."
"It looks like you both are." She smiled at her brother in law, and he chuckled slightly. "Do you need to rest? My room is empty, you could take a rest."
"It sounds inviting, I might just have to take you up on that offer. Will you watch her for me? I don't wnat her to wake up with no one around."
"Sure thing. I don't have anything better to do."
Kaden silently sat down and waited for her sister to wake up. Well, at least she waited for something. Life was so boring without anything to do.
After about 3 hours, Lalita awoke.
"Hey, how are you feeling?" Kaden asked as she went over to sit by the bed. She had been lounging, and maybe even snoozing a bit, on the seat that was on the other side of the room.
"How did you get here? Where's Markus?"
"Markus went to get some sleep, and I came to see my nephew. What'd you name him?"
"We haven't decided yet. It was either Aros or Thomas."
"I like them both." They talked on and on, Kaden got to see her nephew, Markus came back, and then Ambrose came, so Kaden left with her.
"So, how have you been? I haven't seen you in a couple of days."
"I've been better, you know, than usual. I feel relieved that Lalita had her baby. I was getting anxious."
"Are you sure? Before, it seemed like you were holding everybody's burdens on your shoulders, and now you seem happy again. What's going on?"
"Nothing, really. But now Eadulf is away somewhere, he didn't tell me where, but he said he'd be back in a few days." She took a deep breath. "How are you and Edvard?"
"Kaden, I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with you! Won't you let me?"
"I'm sorry, I don't want to talk about it." She paused for a second. "You wanna go to my rooms with me? We can hang out there."
"No, I have to get back to Edvard, we're planning something later today. You want to come? We're going out to dinner, I think. I'll keep you posted though."
"Sure, I haven't gotten anything better to do."
"Okay, see you later."
Kaden walked slowly back to her room, lonely and bored. What was she supposed to do? There was nothing even fun to do. She couldn't go outside, now that it was raining. She'd just have to go and read a book or something.
After a few hours of reading, there was a knock at her door.
"Yes?" She answered.
"The King would like to see you. Follow me." She followed him out the door, excited and anxious. 'Well, finally, something to do. I don't know what I'll say to my father, but at least I'll have something to do.'
