<em>The paladiness groans as her eyes flutter open, looking up into the sky through the canopy to try to figure out what time it is. Typical. She finds a moment of peace, beautiful and perfect... and she wakes up to what sound like screams. But she knows her duty, and, after revelling for one moment longer in the warmth and the smoothness of the feeling of her lover against her, Michelle squeezes the shoulders of the beautiful fey, and begins to slip from beneath her. As she does, she lifts a hand to one of the charms in her hair; though a minor magic trinket, its capabilities are varied and always useful. Like now, for instance, as it clears her body up from her "moment of peace" with Rhapsody while the female knight errant dresses herself. She offers her lover a quick smile as she finishes.<br/><br/>"I'm not sure, but it sounds like trouble... I'd better go check it out."<br/><br/>She doesn't really want to leave the nymph behind, leaving her vulnerable to the depredations of whatever it is, but, then, at the same time, taking her along would mean exposing her to certain danger. But they know each other well, and have had this argument many a night, and Michelle has accepted that the choice is Rhapsody's to make. Not that she's comfortable with it.</em>
