"You spoil me, Pookie." he lifted a paw and nuzzled it, then did the same as he lowered his cheek to the bear's own. "I will begin the healing spell with the healer and then I must go. I have to show my face to the people or my advisors will all have a fit."<br/><br/>It was a full two weeks before Vanderly had time to spend more than a few minutes with Pookie and usually he was resting.  As badly as the young Queen wanted to wake him, he didn't, choosing to sit with him for awhile before falling asleep himself.  He no longer slept next to him for fear of the constant messages sent to him interrupting the bear's recovery, so he made the long walk back to his own chambers each time.<br/><br/>When news came of Pookie being up and around, Vanderly was so excited he dismissed himself from the presence of an envoy of the high king just to go to him. That evening the advisor, Lord Himal, followed him protesting the entire way as the tall boots of the Queen echoed in the corridors.<br/><br/>Van opened the door and walked into the chambers Pookie held in the healing hall, searching the room for the bear.<br/><br/><div class="bbCodeSpoiler">
