"Uhh," Patience said as she bent backwards so that she could stand again. "Well, that was fun... refreshing... something. So what did you think?" She asked as she did a cartwheel.

"That was amazing!" said Foxy clapping happily. and in her eyes it was, she could never do any of those wonderful tricks, and they made her appreciate the Princess more. She laughed more and gave her a bright smile, her green eyes sparkling with happiness.

"Good, then I should find the time to teach you some of them." She said with an engaging grin. "I'll get you up bright and early tomorrow to begin. Okay?"
"Patience, let her settle in first." Virtue said reprovingly and Patience pouted playfully at him. "No, not that look."

Foxy laughed and said, "I'd love to. And it's ok, I'm a fast learner." she said happily. She just had to be careful, in the orphanage they had broken her back once, and her ribs a couple of times, and her shoulder. She had to watch out, and try not to fall. She was super clumsy when she was trying new things, but she wanted to try.

Patience yipped excitedly and hugged Foxy tightly. "That's great! My first student!"
Virtue sighed and rolled his eyes. Demos and Phobos chuckled softly from where they sat.

"Yay!" said Foxy happily hugging her back and winking at Virtue. She loved this feeling. Wow, this is what it's like to be accepted she thought to herself. She had never felt so happy.

"Okay girls." Virtue said sternly. "It's time for bed."
"My room is over there," and Patience pointed off to her right and behind her. "I don't know if you have any sleeping clothes, but you can wear some of mine if you don't. My bed is the one by the door, you can have the master bed, it's by the window. Okay?"

Foxy cocked her head to the side and asked, "Are you sure that's ok?" she had never slept in a real bed, and she didn't know if she should take Pateince's bed tonight. She was very shy and didn't know if she would be offended by sleeping on a lesser bed. "I'd sleep in the smaller bed if it's more comfortable for you." she said humbley, she would have rather slept in the smaller one so she wouldn't feel as though she had stolen any pride from her new sister to be.

"No, I've been sleeping in the small one. So you can really have the bigger bed. Besides, the small one is by the door and I can listen for Virtue there." Patience told her with a smile. "I've never really slept in a big bed by myself before anyway."

"I haven't either." she said nodding solemnly. "But I will sleep there." she said smiling. She was just happy to be there with Patience and Virtue. "I'll tell you some more about me too before we sleep." she said not wanting Patience to be afraid that she would rob the place or kill her in her sleep.

Patience smield brightly again at Foxy. "Okay, would you like to see what I have in my wardrobe. I'm sure I have something in there that might fit you and we can go shopping tomorrow if you like."

"How fun, I would love to." she said standing and preparing to follow patience to her wardrobe. She had never been shopping with someone for clothes. She had been wearing the same outfit for ten years, so it was ragged and old. She loved being with Patience and she felt so happy!

Patience took Foxy's arm and led her to a large cedar chest in the corner of the room. She opened it and began to pull out clothes. Near the bottom she found a pink pair of pajamas. She laid those out and pulled out an indigo pair and a orangish-gold pair too.
"Take your pick. You can have any one of those. I'll help you find another outfit in the morning, okay?"

(No fair, you know what pair she's gonna pick lol. hey Jotie FOXY PINK!)
Foxy pointed to the pink pair and smiled. "Ya know, I have a trick of my own." she said transforming into her human form. Her face was very pretty her white skin gleming in the light. Her blonde hair fell to her shoulders and she smiled brightly.

Patience stared for a moment and then smiled. She held the pink pair out to Foxy and set the indigo pair out for herself.
"Very nice Foxy. I'm surprised no one's asked you to marry them yet." She shrugged off-handedly then. "No matter, I have a personal bathroom that you may use to change. I have to go help Virtue. See ya in a bit!"
And with a little wave, Patience sauntered out of the room.

"Ok," said Foxy nodding, she didn't know if she should go ahead and change, or wait for Patience. "Do you need any help?" she asked Patience wanting to be of as much help as she could. She wanted to help Virtue too.

"Nope!" She called over her shoulder. "I've got it! You go ahead and get comfortable!"
Patience walked into Virtue's room and locked the door as she closed it. She didn't want Foxy to know just how ill their brother was.

Foxy nodded and went into Patience's room with the pajamas. She went into the bathroom, and changed holding onto her clothing she had worn for so long, a memoir of the past. Now the present would be gowns and high heeled shoes, she would be a lady of high status and should leave her old ways behind.

It was an hour before Patience came out of Virtue's room. She had changed in his bathroom and carried her day clothes in her hand. She looked very tired, but it only showed in her eyes. When she made to her room, she immediately collapsed in her bed.

Foxy had been sitting patiently on the edge of the big bed. "What do you have to do for Virtue?" she asked nervously wondering if were wrong of her to ask such Questions. She hoped Patience would tell her the truth and let her bear the burden with her.

"I help him treat a side-effect of the disease he has. I'm the only who does it because I love him, I'm not afraid, and I have a touch of healing which lessens the pain he feels. Afterwards, I help him stuggle into a new skin-tight shirt that has to be burned the next evening."
Patience turned over on the bed so that she lay on her back. Her right arm rested on her forehead as she stared at the ceiling.
"I'm sorry to tell you this, but big brother won't be staying much longer. You've been adopted in time for tragedy."

Foxy gasped, "He's dying?" she asked thinking that the disease was fatal, why had she been too stupid to realize what was in front of her face? "Well, I'd still like to help as much as possible, I fear nothing, and I have grown a love for him too." she said shyly.

"I'm afraid there is little you can do for him. He's not the sort of person to like help. As it is, there is little that I am able to do for him." She shook her head and crawled under her blankets. "I've been exposed to his disease, we don't want you to get exposed to it either."

"I am immune to all sickness. It's some good luck thing a witch bestowed apon me, so I can't get any disease ever." she nodded solemnly. "And, I understand if he'd rather I not help, but I would like to." she said truthfully.

"I think it's more of me that doesn't want you to help." Patience looked over at Foxy. "Call me selfish, but I've been helping him since he found out. And it's like I can trust anyone else to do it better than I can, not even a Healer."
