"This is amazing!"

It really is. I've never seen a room so big; the ceiling seems to stretch up forever! And that view... The guards seemed nice enough too, the servants definitely were helpful, but still. I can't get rid of this feeling...
"I dunno, seems a stretch. They never even said why we could stay."

"Who cares? At least we have food now, a roof, doors with actual locks... And a bed. A really big, soft one too; have you tried it?"

Oh man, she's right. It really is soft; is this actual Judan silk? Even da couldn't afford this.
"But doesn't it look odd to you? I mean, there are hundreds of half-starved orphans scattered around the Edges right now and we're the only ones picked up. Why would the Imperial family choose us of all people?"

"Maybe it was my dashing good looks."

Pfft.
"Oh yeah sure, or my impeccable charisma. Seriously, sis, aren't you a teensy bit concerned?"

"Not really; you don't think the royals are actually just preparing sacrifice us or something do'you?"

And interesting thought. But stupid. Gods, Etcetera, can't you take anything serious for once?
"... no, I guess not. Just curious is all."

"Well save it for the morning; I'm keen to get the first proper sleep since Kiaobi."

I don't think I could sleep now, my mind's all wired.
"Okay then, night, sis."

"Night, bro."

Guess it'll just be me for the next few hours then. At least the view is nice; never seen the mountains from so high up.
And if it turns out this is all for real...

I think I could get used to it.

_____

Yay Day 7! With Sutaro and Etcetera on their first night at the palace! (Sutaro is the brother, the one who can't sleep; Etcetera is the sister, the one already conked out)
