Kimp met Pookie's dark eyes and glanced away, blushing at the compliment and acknowledgement from Pookie over his skills. "I take my leave. Your food will be here shortly, great one. My queen." he left as silently as he had appeared. His short fluffy tail blended with the white leggins her wore, but for the excited wagging it did as he retreated, revealing his joy. The sight always made Vanderly smile. He tried his best not to let Kimp hear him laugh for fear of pushing him back into his shell.  "He does such a good job. I don't know why the others think so little of him."  The door to the queens private 'room' was just off the main royal suit. The chamber itself was untouched save a little maintenance dusting, but the room had not been opened in a while, as far as Vanderly was aware. It brought a faint swell of emotion. He hid himself here to cry the many nights he'd managed to sneak down and see Pookie in the dungeons. he hugged close to Pookie reminding himself of his recovered state.
