Late Mardi Gras Night, Hallway Outside Room 203

[kitchen_maid]

Amy makes her way down the hallway, still in the trailing gown of amethyst-colored brocade, and the ropes of diamonds and amethysts, and that ridiculous and heavy for-very-best-occasions crown.

She is not looking especially Cheerful.

All she really wants to do is get to her room and change back into normal clothes.

"I will, Perry. And thank you."

He gets a very sweet smile, fond and content.

He smiles at her then, and leans forward to kiss her cheek, misses, kisses her nose instead, and laughs.

"I suppose I ought to let you recover from your evening as a princess, Amy."

Amy leans forward to kiss Perry's nose in turn, and grins.

"Probably. It may take rather a lot of recovery," she says, with a rather melodramtic sigh. "Besides, it's getting horridly late, isn't it?"

"Terribly so," he says, and manages to get her cheek this time, before standing.

"Good night, kitchen maid! Pleasant dreams."

"Good night, Perry," she says, walking with him as far as the door.

She gets one more kiss, and another smile, and then Perry is walking down the hall, whistling.

"Lavender's blue," he whistles, "rosemary's green."
