Charlene frowned down at Myria. "Listen to you, whining about something so many years off. I think somebody's tired." She shook her head and adjusted the little girl against her hip, brushing her chest against her slightly. "Do you mind if I help her along, Vern? I'll only be a bit." He smiled and nodded. "Of course. I wouldn't want to get in the way of Myria's rest." He leaned in one more time for a kiss... this time, letting Myria feel the soft touch of his lips against her forehead. "Good night, princess."
Before she could have time to react and smack him, Myria found herself being carried up the stairs by her Moth... Charlene. She seemed to be all smiles as she carried her up and gasped when she saw the little girl's room. "Oh my, I could have only dreamed of a room like this growing up." She set the girl down and sat on her heels. "Now, even though you may have been a grown-up before... you're a child now. You're growing, and that means you need plenty of sleep. So, let's get your pajamas on and get you to bed, missy." Despite the cheerful nature of her words, they seemed to carry a certain authority with them.
