She smiles. "Alright then. C'mon. I reckon I'll be up awhile. Go have a seat in the sittin' room while I fetch it."

after getting him situated on the couch, Rebecca slips back into her bedroom to collect the tray of leftovers; quietly so as not to disturb Wyatt.

Rebecca notices that as he walks, his wound still might be bothering him.

Wyatt has returned to what seems to be a deep sleep. He snores a bit, a usual sign of exhaustion for him.

Peter smiles looking at the food she is carrying over to him. "Thanks," he says, his smile broad.
He brings the food to his mouth quickly then slows down, probably remembering Rebecca's advice.

"Eat up," she says. Rebecca goes to the fruit bowl on the side table and gets herself an orange and him a banana. He can drink water, but she's having a brandy. May as well enjoy it if she has ot be up at this godforsaken hour.

Damn right she's gonna owe me.

She sets Peter's fruit and water beside him and then sits back with hers to wait out the excitement. The scent of the citrus fills the air when she sinks her thumb into it to peel it. "Probably shouldn't eat too much tonight," she advises the boy. "That's about tha right amount there. That would still botherin' ya?"

Peter stops eating when she advises him. He nods at her last question, making a small grimace, "It feels funny..." he admits, looking back at her. "It itches and feels like my skin is pulling... but, like on the inside." He blinks a couple of times, putting his hand over his belly, "It feels better though..."

He turns his head to the window, looking at the moonlight passing through, solid and palpable. "I haven't seen moonlight like this in a long time... What is this place called again?" he asks.

She nods; "Means it's healin'."

Rebecca looks out the window at the moonlit sky. "Amber." She turns back to Peter. "This is Amber. Land of my forefathers. Do you remember the name of the place you are from?"

He frowns, intensely. "No... I just remember bits and pieces... I think I was too little and we weren't allowed to talk about much of anything at all while on the road."

"Maybe it'll come ta ya now that ya have a chance ta think about it," she offers kindly. "And ya can talk to us about it all ya want. Me anyway. Wyatt's never been too far from home before, she he might just get confused by anything too far outside his experience."

I glance up at the clock on the mantle and frown. Where the hell was the Captain or Flora?

"Maybe..." he says a bit sadly.

There is a knock at the door, and Peter turns to her, his eyes big. "What do I do?"

Rebecca stands and leans over to look at him closely in the dim light. "Yer alright. They know I have a kid with me." She smiles and ruffles his hair. "Finish eatin'."

She goes over to open the door, yawning widely in the process.

She sees the old Captain of the Royal Guard, Osvald. This no nonsense Captain nods quickly, abbreviating protocol to an acceptable minimum. With an even voice he says, "Princess Rebecca, are you authorizing Lady Florimel the use of twenty Royal Guards to send a rescue mission to save your cousin Lord Ian?"

She draws herself up and wraps herself in the position she still isn't used to holding. "Answer me honest, Captain; can we spare twenty?"

"If it means saving one of the Blood of Amber, then yes. Is something troubling you?"

Just then, the shadows of her room seem to whisper. A stray draft entering her room from the hallway.

She stiffens slightly and inhales, holding it for just a moment in her surprise.

McCoy...

"No Captain." she assures him. "I just don't want weaken the castle's defenses in these dark times. Please gather the twenty Her Highness requires and have them prepared to go as soon as she's ready."

"Thank you," he eyes Peter carefully and says, "Please excuse the lateness of this request. Good night, Princess."

He then closes the door behind him.

Peter rubs his eyes, tired. "Can I go back to bed now?"

She hears the old McCoy's chuckle. 'Very perceptive of you, Rebecca.' His voice gets serious, 'I see the thing is still here...'

Quiet you...

She locks the door and holds a hand out to Peter. "Sure. Ya need ta wash up first."

Rebecca walks him into the small bedroom and then waits for him outside the bathroom. When he's finished, she scoots him towards the bed with a gentle hand. "In ya get. I'll tuck ya in. Tomorrow's likely ta be busy once we get around, so you sleep in as late as ya need."
