Princess Rosella of Daventry

( Private//Hackable by Friends )

Today, as I was walking home from the zoo in Xanadu, I saw a dog sitting by the front gates. When I walked past him, he got up and started trotting along behind me. He followed me all the way to the Warehouse before turning around and meandering away again. I thought it was really quite chivalrous of him, taking the time to see me all the way home. MLIA.

..."MLIA"? Why did I just write that?

...Honestly, that incident really rather was the high point of my day, too. It's been a terribly average one so far; I put away books in the Library, did a little bit of last-minute shopping before Blair's the charity ball Blair is hosting tomorrow, went to the zoo to watch the eagles, and now I'm here in my room, making a list and glancing over the Network and thinking about what to do this evening.

Perhaps I'll take Valor for a ride through the forest. There's something pleasant about riding in autumn, watching the leaves turn colors all around and listening to them crunch underfoot. Perhaps I'll see if I can't find an oak tree or two around, and look for acorns. And perhaps I'll take my bow, and see if I still recall how to shoot while on horseback. It is October, after all.

And perhaps I'll make gingerbread tonight, too. Gingerbread and warm cider sounds like a pleasant treat for an autumn evening--and particularly so, after all that tea I've been drinking lately. It eased my sore throat quite well, it's true, but now that I'm well again, I'm more than ready to have a different drink for a change.

It's twenty-nine more days until November.


[OOC: Today, Rosella is affected with the MLIA half of the curse. She is having a perfectly average day--feel free to liven it up! Or high-five her, or text "I love you" to her cell phone, or offer to build a couch fort with her, or any of those other delightfully average things that MLIAers seem to do. ♥]
