sixteen fancies

[ann_withane]

[It had been a slow, lazy day for Anne. Arthur had been out and about (and a little crankier than usual, though she didn't know why), and she had spent most of her day curled up inside, alternating between reading a book and staring out the window, dreaming.

[Watching and considering mentioning that... well, everyone else could be watching too, but that wouldn't be much fun. It's like a soap opera.]

This totally isn't here.

[...but Rosella will be seeing this sometime after she, herself, is hauled all over the City by the curse. Y halo thar, poets. ♥]

Another that doesn't exist.

[She's only home for a couple hours, but this show totally makes Kate's night. This bowl of popcorn will be put to good use.]
