I had grown soft.

It was the only thought between those brows of mine as I woke from my slumber. A quiet moan echoing from my mouth as I stretched here and there. Letting the accumulated kinks between my shoulders and lower back crack and stretch.

For once I had not woken to such inane and insane amounts of work. Complaints here and there about one thing or another. No, not since I had offloaded most of my work onto both Ellaine and the spirits.

Surprisingly enough they were easily able to be taught. It was just a matter of effort. Besides I couldn't trust anyone else, so why not them. It was perfectly reasonable.

But there were so many things that despite my efforts. Despite everything that I had done... there were still hundreds of things for me to look at.
