Paw Caught In The Cookie Jar

Fern sits in the grand foyer of the castle looking at the stairs that lead up. The gray girl has seen little of castle, her first visit completely limited to right wing of the first floor. Rudy had been injured shortly after her arrival and Fern had not had the chance to explore. Many days, and nights, where spent in the infirmary, waiting for Rudy to recover. Eyes fall over to the right, eyeing the hallway that leads to the guest and medical wing. Artorias had seen that she was given a nice guest room when she returned and Fern is grateful for it. However, since her friendship with Rudy has started to bud into something more, the gray girl finds herself wanting to get to know the castle better. After all, there might be a time when she calls this castle home… maybe.

Aqua eyes shift back to the stairs as Fern fidgets nervously. She has seen the layout of the second floor and knows where Rudy’s room is but she wants to know more. Cautiously, looking around to make sure she is alone, Fern stands and moves toward the stairs. Short claws click loudly in the silent room, making her wince and look around to make sure she is still alone. Fern knows she is a guest and, while she doesn’t want to overstep, she does want to explore. But... is allowed upstairs? It was different when had Rudy invited her up but now… nervously, Fern glances around once more before swiftly moving upstairs. Excitement, curiosity, and a small sense of forbidden secrets drives her upward.

Heart pounding, smile growing with each step, Fern moves as quickly as her paws will carry her.
