The Foggy Wake-up

She groaned and shook her head slightly. The softness of a pillow restrained her movement, and did absolutely nothing for the pounding in her head.

Everything hurt, but it was a dull sort of ache. Not the worst pain she'd ever felt - nor even woken up with - before.

Her head was fuzzy. And her vision a little blurry. It was dark. The only light in the room around her came from the dying embers of the fireplace in the room.

Which was...

Her room. The one she shared with Donncahd in the palace. That was definitely where she'd woken up. She could not remember laying down in the room, but there could be no doubt that's where she woke up.

Darrach was asleep, laying next to her, his little head laid out on her stomach over the covers.

She blinked slowly and reached up to rub at her eyes.

"You are a fool."
