Steady Hands but Shaking Knees

[CEERA KITTEN WRIGHT]

Kitten leaned against the broom she was suppose to be using to sweeping the floor. She was humming, her eyes closed and hips swaying. The day so far had been incredibly boring so far. When she had gotten to the castle she immediately began to do chores. There was a never ending list. Well she was getting paid for her work at least.

Her stomach shouted a growl of protest. She hadn't eaten in her hurry and it was already near noon. Ignoring the annoying pang of her midsection she continued in her half sweeping half humming.
"A dream is a wish your heart makes," she mumbled the lines,"When your fast asleep."

Kitten twirled, stirring up a bit of dust she was meant to be sweeping away.
"In your dreams you will lose your heart aches, whatever you wish for you keep.

Have faith in your dreams and one day, your rainbow will come smiling through.

No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing the dream that you wish will come true."

She sighed as she finished, dragging her bangs out of her eyes. It was a pretty song, uplifting, even is she didn't believe in it. For surely Kitten was a pessimist at best.

THERE SHE STUMBLES, FALLING TO HER KNEES

Muse was only half awake when she stumbled through palace early that morning.

It wasn't very unusual for her to be sleep walking that early in the morning; it was just unusual for her to be walking away from the forest. Muse practically lived there---and it was a queer thing for her to be wandering so far from her home. Then again, Muse was a queer person.

As usual, she wore her favorite knitted dress with her bow and arrows slung over her shoulder. Being only half awake, you couldn't understand much, except for the fact that a girl was singing. It was a beautiful song, and yet it made her feel so... Depressed. It was as if all the happiness had been taken away from the world, and she quietly shivered. She often felt alone and afraid, yet it made no sense for her to feel that way while listening to a song. Even still, she remained perfectly immobile, suddenly becoming awake enough to realize where she was.

She was in the Palace. Staring at a maid at work. She took a shaky breath and a step back, wondering if she should talk to this girl. Her sister did say that she should be more social, and why not talk to her? She was already in the palace.

"Hello, Child. That is a beautiful song- might I ask what it is called? After all, sadness flies away on the wings of time, right?" She smiled weakly, and then continued. "I presume that you sing that when you are in a dark time, a time when there is misery."
