Pope Leo's daughter, Kitty, is a witch who is always engaging herself in some form of adventure -- telling stories entwined within stories. All, of course, told from behind the scenes of the Vatican.
"I looked at him with glassy eyes, regretting deeply all the time I had invested in coming to know him.  Day after day – whenever I had the urge, that is – I’d ventured forth dreamily in the outskirts of the Vatican, privately, away from my father.  Sometimes he’d even set aside special time for me to visit him, even if he was busy with “pack business.”

Vatican Nights

	“Are you sure?”  The crow piped up quietly, demurely.  Knowing that she hadn’t been accustomed to human interaction, I felt nothing but pure sympathy and understanding toward my newfound friend.


	“Absolutely!  I have the most perfect name for you, as it’s been crossing my mind for quite some time now.  It’s something I’ve always been planning to name my future child.  Elouise.”

	“Hmm.”  Frowning thoughtfully, I mulled it over in my mind for a few moments, then said, “How about Rose?”  


	Elouise cawed softly, quite clearly in approval.


	“Perfect,” I sighed, throwing my arms enthusiastically around Elouise.
