Valerie cursed under her breath as she woke suddenly, eyes snapping wide open. The day was already bright and she was very obviously running very late. In an instant she had leapt to her feet, and immediately ran as fast as her feet would take her to the mansion.<br/><br/>At the last corner just before arrival she slowed down and freshened herself up with the aid of a<em>prestidigitation</em>cantrip, removing all traces of her panicked run. She approached non-nonchalantly, fashionably late just as she had planned all along of course, and woe to anyone who dared suggest otherwise.<br/><br/>"Greetings, sir gnome. Kindly forgive my tardiness - I trust I can still be of service?"
