At the moment, Judith is asleep. Despite all the work which surrounds her. Really, her head is laying among all the papers. Tristan, in the meanwhile, is with a baby sitter, if you ask.

But, if you need anything, you better wake her up right now.

It really isn't fair of him to be walking up the hallway playing a song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-qQKS3dLDU) on his violin, is it?

At least he's very good at what he does?

Yeah, he is.
Also, Johnny dear, your Queen is looking at you with terribly sleepy eyes between two mountains of papers and through the open door. Sort of speechless.

He'll end with a flourish and then smile sheepishly at her. "Sorry, the acoustics down this hall are just...really good. Shouldn't you be in bed?"

"Yes. Maybe. But I have a lot of work." forgive her, really, her train of thoughts is a little bit dismangled ATM "When did you come back, Johnny?"

"But are you actually getting it done if you're sleeping at your desk?"

He shrugs though, not going to push it, "I got back the other day. Haven't seen too many people yet."

"Actually, not very much, now that I think of it," She rubbed her eyes and looked back at him. "Ah, good. How has your journey been?"

"Well you know. Warm. And lots of beautiful women who like musicians." He offered up a crooked grin. "So pretty good."

"Then, basically, it was awesome." she smiled. "That's good. Very good."
She stood up, and looked at the papers for a moment. "I'll do them tomorrow. Or later. Anyhow, you should see Tristan, he's grown up a lot." Of course she had to mention him, she's his mom.

"Basically, yes." He nodded and stepped out of the doorway so he wasn't blocking it anymore. "I hear kids do that. Things going okay, then?"

"Yeah, despite everything." of course she had to remember "Suppose you've heard the news about our new Jack. If not, I will be very happy to tell you."

"Athena, right? That was surprising."

Mostly that she'd come back. Well, that she'd been made Jack, too. But maybe not as much as one might think, considering who her sister was.

"Many things that we did not imagine that would happen did." And, to be quite honest, in her opinion, Athena coming back was not actually the worst. That might have been losing Itchy,and Lancelot, and all that. "And, if you ask, it was Ceiro who named her Jack, not me". Amusing huh?

"Ceiro?"

That ought to be an interesting story.

"Well...I'm sure she'll work out just fine." At least she knew what it was like to be a Face already.

Oh, it wasn't that she needed anything...

She paused in the doorway and smiled a little bit, debating on whether or not she should wake her up.

Then quietly. "Your Majesty?"

Try more. Perhaps poking ever so slightly. Because at this moment? Your Queen is actually snoring.

She bit down on her lip and eased her way over to gently poke her Lady Queen. Not that she had wanted to, but..she had tea?
