Young Mr. Torrick knocked on his beloved Nym Nym's door, but barely waited for permission to enter as he bounded in and ran towards her. Giving a graceful jump, he landed heavily on her lap, wriggling all over with excitement!
"Nym Nym, I'm off to visit my Daddy for a fortnight...ummm..do you know how long that is? I do! It's 2 whole weeks! And my daddy has me a room there all fixed up with toys and everythin' I'm here now to say goodbye, not really goodbye...just...just...well..whatever that word you taught me is that means until I see you again!" Cody had inherited his rapid fire speech directly from his mother! As he finally stopped to breath, he actually gave Narym time to gather her thoughts and answer the boy.

Narym hugged Cody tight. She breathed in his unique scent of baby talc ( that mommy still insisted on using!), crayons and cookies. She blinked away tears. " Two whole weeks!" she teased. " What on earth will I do with myself for all that time!" Cody giggled and she hugged him again. " The words are feicfidh me thu. They mean see you soon." She pronounced them slowly and soon Cody was saying them himself. " Well done, my man." She put him on the floor and stood up. " Now, attention!" she ordered. He stood straight as a soldier, to attention. Narym inspected him and deemed him tidy. " Good man," she praised him. "Now, I have something for your journey!" She held out a candy bar. " But don't tell mommy and dont get chocolate on your clean clothes!" She knelt down and kissed him. " Feicfidh me thu, a ghra," she said softly and watched him walk away down the corridor, his little legs in long pants, his curly hair brushed and shiny. He was so little and she loved him so much!

Cody happily hopped, skipped, jumped, and (after a quick look to see that he wasn't being observed) slid down the bannister to where his mother was waiting.
Listening to her last minute instructions impatiently, agreeing to all her instructions...suffering her to hug, kiss, and pat him to distraction, he was at last loaded into the car with Sebastian and off he went! His first grown up, on his own, (well, mostly) adventure! To see his Father no less!

Cassandra waved until long after the car was out of sight, then she wrapped both arms around herself and slowly sank to the floor, furiously fighting back tears. "Sebby? You guard that child with your very life! Do you hear me? If one hair on his head is harmed..." Cassandra let the sentence trail off, unable to think of any threat bad enough.

Shaking his head as her hysterical words and implied threats came to him, he gave a wry grin before telepathing back, "Yes, of course, because we're sending him off into the wilds amongst savages! Because it would be different and you wouldn't be this upset if we were merely allowing him to go 2 towns over and be in his Father's care! And of course, you'd feel even more secure if you'd thought to send a familiar along with him. One with a straight line to Kane, who would literally go through hell and back to ensure that child's safety! Oh, wait...you in fact, did those very things! So one can only assume you've turned into a typical worrywart Mother, or that you've lost your entire mind!"
Sebby's harsh tone either had a calming effect on Cass, as he'd hoped, or else she was too mad to reply. Either way, he could now settle back and enjoy the trip with young Cody.

Cassandra rose slowly, still feeling as if her soul was missing, and made her way to her room.
Plopping herself down in the first seat she came to, it happened to be the stool in front of her make up table. Looking in the mirror, she was shocked at her appearance! Her hair was lifeless and dull and needed a good shaping. Her complexion was likewise dull...she had looked better coming out of a battle than she did at that moment!
"That does it! She thought. "Enough of this! I'm going to the day spa and having a complete makeover, then I'm going shopping and buying the sexiest outfit I can, and I'm doing exactly as I told Narym I was going to....I'm going out! And with that she gathered her purse and her keys, and did just that!
