"While I'd like to, it's morning for me, Karen.  I'm on the same schedule as the Mistress, at least for now, and I have to see if I can figure things out for tomorrow.  I am...still trying to figure things out, I'm afraid.  Too many things that need to be done."<br/><br/>Pausing, she smiled again and stroked Karen's cheek gently. "And I'll visit.  I like you, Karen...and I would be more than happy to stay with you, if I didn't have other things that I had to get done.  And information about the city I need to gather."
