[For Shadow & Karen]
Most mornings, if Ainsley had stayed over the night before, she had made sure to be up and back to the Compound at a relatively early hour of the morning; one she had grown accustomed to getting up at in her jobs in Washington. This was done mostly so no little girls stumbled their way into a precarious situation.
But this morning? Well, Ainsley had had a couple of glasses of wine the night before and had even brought sleeping garments in the form of a pink negligee and so, when the sun rose in the sky, rather than spill out of bed and change, she just burrowed deeper into the warmth of the covers and Shadow and ignored any potentialities the morning might bring.
She couldn't be blamed for one morning like this, could she?

This was better. This was comfortable and drowsily warm, so he just held her a bit closer when she shifted and did his best to enjoy still being mostly asleep with Ainsley right here.

She pokes the other body in the bed with her finger.
"Who's that?"
no subject
So she peeked one eye open and very covertly tugged the covers up a little higher. "Karen," she spoke, very groggy and sleepy-sounding. "Please don't poke me so early."

He reached and put his hand on the top of Karen's head gently and asked quietly. "Bad dream?"
no subject
"I had the dream about the weasels again."
no subject
In a very dignified manner, of course.
So she just lay there, a bit humiliated and petrified, yet.

For a moment he glanced over at Ainsley and reached his hand over to brush his thumb over her cheek gently. But when he psoke he was talking to Karen. "How about you sleep next to me, and then you let Puss Cat sleep next to Ainsley, okay?"
no subject
She thinks about that for a moment, and then she nods her head.
"That's okay. Puss Cat likes Ainsley a lot. He does, Ainsley."

"Why are you embarrased, Ainsley? And what's a Publican?"

She lifts her head and looks at Ainsley, like this information renders any embarrassment null and void.

After a few seconds he managed to compose himself to nod. "I do indeed," he agreed. "We've all got pajamas on, so let's go back to sleep for a few more hours."
no subject
It isn't more than a few moments before she's snoring softly.
