Lord Himal remained in the front room fretting. He dare not enter fully into the rooms without strict direction from the Queen and instead paced back and forth watching Vanderly practically run through the archway into the dining area where his precious bear sat.  How he managed it in his formal dress and four inch boots, the advisor could not understand.<br/><br/>"Pookie!" the bears name was the only thing he got out before throwing himself on the bear and burying his face in his fur. "You are up and eating!  soon you can hunt and have something better than this!" he ended up sideways in Pookies lap, legs crossed and hanging off to one side exposing a strip of flesh along his thigh where the boots stopped and his dress rode up.<br/><br/>"You will move into my chambers won't you? I can't be away from you another night, Pookie."
