That would be perfect. No trouble here. Just restless nights. Tea would probably help me to sleep.

Is there a reason for it? Any stress or discomfort happening? That’s when I can’t sleep, sorry if it seems like I’m prying M- Belinda.

No, no reason at all. Just a sleepless night. Darling woke a bit ago and quickly fell asleep after she was certain I would be up for a while yet.

firemaster-darcy:

“Oh I had not intended to go blindly.” Darcy crossed the length of the room, stopping beside the solitary candle. He laced his fingers together, flexing his hands before scooping the candle-flame into his palms. The Fire Master grinned sleekly, imminently pleased with himself as he returned to lean against the door frame; the stolen candle light converted into an makeshift lantern, caged within his hands. “I have more than adequate lighting to return me to my own rooms; you should know however, that I am deeply touched by your concern.”

Lindy watched for a minute as he actually dared to take the fire from her candle. She rolled her eyes at the obvious showing off. Scoffing, she pushed herself out of the chair. “If you take my only light, I will only light another,” she said with a slight laugh. Her arms crossed over her chest in a somewhat defensive though languid movement.  “You are no fun at all, you know that. Right, Mr. Darcy?” she mocked.

Violet, I think we’re past the “Miss” business. It’s Belinda. Tea would be lovely though, as long as you will join me, of course.

Sorry Mi- Belinda. I can have a cup with you before turning in. I actually brought a tea ball with me, I saw your light on and thought you might be having trouble.

That would be perfect. No trouble here. Just restless nights. Tea would probably help me to sleep.

Perhaps it isn’t, but it makes the days awfully long and arduous.

I can understand that. Would you like a cup of lavender tea Miss Belinda? Maybe that would help.

Darling seems to have no trouble sleeping, day or night. Until it’s time to eat, at least.

Oh…

Maybe it’s not such a bad thing though! More happens at night *smiles a bit*

Perhaps it isn’t, but it makes the days awfully long and arduous.

The Fire Master appears, opening the door to peer around the edge. “My heart is bleeding for you, truly; however if you cannot sleep, perhaps you might turn out your light, so others might be allowed to?” Darcy glowered at her from beneath a tangle of sleep tousled hair; his fingers drummed irritably against the door pane as he addressed her.

Belinda looked at his less than perfect appearance and held back a laugh. “Someone clearly need his beauty rest.” She gave him a smile anyways to let him know he couldn’t upset her. “I seriously doubt my light was bothering you that much, but by all means, you are welcome to leave me without anything to see by.”

I swear I never sleep at night anymore.

Perhaps you’re picking up on your snake’s behavior? They’re more active at night aren’t they?

How old is your snake?
Anonymous

Darling is only about 2 years old. She’s still a baby, I suppose.
