A gentle knocking on the door woke Caleb from a less than pleasant dream. He forced open his eyes, the morning light streaming in through the window remarkably bright.
A serving girl gingerly pushed open the door with one hand, a food laden tray in the other. Silently, she moved over to the table and set down the tray; a quick curtsey and she scurried back out of the room without ever saying a word.
Caleb pulled the sheets to one side and swung his legs over the side of the bed. Just as he was pushing himself up, Kai burst into the room, fully dressed and with a large smile on his face, holding his tray of food in one hand, an apple in the other.
Kai beamed, "Good Morning!"
Caleb, still half-asleep, squinted at Kai and asked, "What's got you in such a good mood?"
