Cassandra walked quietly towards Narym's suite of rooms, not wanting to wake her should she be asleep. After all, most people did sleep at this time of the night. Most people but Cassandra, that is. Although Cassandra had come a long way, and felt she was on the road to mending, she still was plagued by insomnia. Not as bad as it had been at first, but still pretty bad. Putting her ear to Narym's door, she heard movement inside, and gave a soft knock, hoping she wasn't disturbing her friend.

" Come in Cass!" Narym called softly. "I'm not asleep."

Not even surprised that Narym knew it was she who was there, Cassandra smiled ruefully and went inside. Plopping down in the plush recliner Cassandra figited for a moment, unsure where to begin.
Unable to sit still, she got up and walked over to the minibar that Narym kept stocked. "How about some hot cocoa Narym." She asked. Seeing her friend nod, Cassandra set about making it, glad of something to do.
Finally mustering up her courage, she said, "I got a letter from Kaden today. No, it was nothing like that, Cassandra added upon seeing the hope srping into Narym's eyes. "He just said that he was still 'working things out for himself, but that he was settled enough to be able to have Coldy visit. He asked if I would allow him to go for 2 weeks....so I talked to Cody about it, he wants to go...so I'm letting him," Cassandra said as she walked towards Narym with the cocoa and cookies on a tray. Setting the tray down on the table between the two chairs, she caught a guarded expression on Narym's face. "okay..out with it...what are you thinking? We've been throiugh too much together for you to start holding back on me now!

" Ok, " Narym said, reaching for a mug of hot cocoa."How sure are you of Kaden? Is there any chance he will try to keep Cody with him?" There, she had said it. She hated the fact that the idea had sprung into her mind straight away, but she was cautious by nature. And who wouldn't want to keep hold of the little guy? He was so gorgeous. And very, very gifted.

"No, I don't think so...I think he truly wants to know his son..and that's all...besides...he knows I'd track him down to the ends of the earth and tear him limb from limb if he should ever try and keep Cody from me!" Cassanda said vehemently.

Narym sat back and drank some of her cocoa while she thought. She studied her friends face over the rim of her mug. Cass was looking frayed around the edges and just a little fragile. Narym cursed herself for being negative. " Ok," she said suddenly as a thought occurred. " Why don't you send Sebastian with him? He could keep an eye on things for you and let you know instantly if anything was wrong!" She knew Cass was worrying, perhaps this was the answer.

"That's a wonderful idea Narym! I don't know why I didn' think of it myself...but then...I've not been thinking of anything much lately. That's exactly what I'll do..I'll send Sebby with him!"

Narym smiled, relieved that she had been able to help a little. She looked fondly at her friend and sighed. "You have not been sleeping well, I think," she said softly. She stood and went to her night stand, pulling open a small drawer. She took out a small packet and gave it to Cass. " Here, take this," she ordered gently. " It is just a herb, nothing harmful, but it will aid a restful sleep. Mix it with warm water, it's vapours will also soothe your headache." She saw the familiar stubborn look creep into Cass's face. " Don't even think of saying no!" Narym said, before Cass could speak. " Be kind to yourself for once. And trust me, you know that I would never hurt you Cass." She sat down beside her friend and gave her an awkward hug, pleased that showing a little of what she felt for this woman was becoming easier by the day. " Now, go and get some sleep, a ghra, the castle needs you strong and fit. Your friends need you well again, they are all worrying about you!" She smiled. " Don't look so surprised woman! We love you! Now, off you go, or do I have to carry you there myself?" She stood and flexed her muscles, grinning.

A ghost of Cassandra's little cat grin crossed her face, "Yes ma'am, I'll go under my own steam, thank you very much!" As she made her way to the door she looked back and said, "You know....Cody's leaving tomorrow...I think I'll even go out tomorrow night...I've entombed myself long enough...you can bet Kaden sure as hell isn't grieving!" And with that she turned and walked out.

Narym yawned, ready for sleep. She gathered up the mugs and left them in the sink in her small kitchen. She smiled as she walked into her bedroom. So, the cat would be out on the prowl tomorrow night! Look out guys, here she comes!
