Almost a Sister

I watched as Reynard strolled over to me, his hands deep in his pockets. 

"What happened?" I hissed as I pulled him aside. "Did she get it?"

He gave me a smug smile as he kept walking on the street.

"Hey!" I exclaimed. "Hey, tell me what happened! It was quite daft of you to suggest throwing the note to her window. What if the stone shattered her window? You'd be in big trouble then."

"But I'm not." He chuckled. "Seems like she got it alright."

I frowned as I pulled my sun hat down over my face, the one I had borrowed from Mama. It was a poor disguise, but not an unsuccessful one since nobody had even spared me a second glance. 

Reynard had suggested we go at once while the morning sun was still overhead and give Yvonne the message. Since the Emperor had increased security around the palace borders, there was no way Reynard could slide in and out like he usually did without getting caught.
