only seen a few guards on their walk that smiled politely at the pair before passing them.
Isabelle was surprised she had felt ill early that morning. It was unlike her to be unwell and especially for her stomach to still feel uneasy hours later. She closed her eyes and relaxed, hoping that the warm water would help get rid of whatever was ailing her.
"I like your cakes."
Isabelle sat up and stared at the closed door that led to the bedroom.
"Really?"
She recognized Faolan’s voice and quickly got out of the bath and dried off.
"Yep. The berry ones were the best."
That, she knew was Caden. She was surprised to hear him easily talking to a stranger since he was usually so shy. She opened the door to see Faolan sitting across from Caden sharing a pot of tea.
"Do you think I should ask for those to be brought up tomorrow morning as well?" Faolan asked with a gentle smile.
"Every morning! With extra for me to sneak back in case Kylin tries to feed me more gruel," the boy replied. He made a face of such pure disgust that she couldn’t help giggling.
Caden grinned widely at the sight of her and rushed over to quickly hug her. She picked him up in her arms and exchanged a quick smile with Faolan.
"Do you feel better? You look better," Caden asked as he cupped her face between his hands and peered at her intently.
"You were ill?" Faolan asked with a frown.
Before she could reply Caden answered for her. "Yep. She looked awful. She was pale and gross looking."
"Caden!"
"Well you were , Izzy ," he replied before sticking his tongue out at her.
"Should I go get Kylin ?" Faolan asked. "If you aren’t feeling well perhaps he should take a look at you, just to make sure that nothing is wrong."
Caden gasped and shook his head wildly. "No don’t do that! He’ll take away the cakes!"
"Caden please!" he was instantly calmer at his sister’s light scolding. She took a deep breath and, more softly said, "I’m fine, both of you. I was a little down this morning but I really do feel fine now.”
Caden nodded and she quickly kissed his cheek. "You look a little sleepy still, would you like me to take you back to see Kylin so that you can get some rest?" she asked him.
“ Faolan will take me. I want Faolan," he said quickly.
Isabelle’s eyes widened in surprise. It was definitely not like her brother to latch onto anyone but herself. "Caden, I’m sure he is tired after being busy all day. If you can wait just a few minutes for me to get dressed I will take you down there."
"Faolan. I want Faolan…" he grumbled, his bottom lip sticking out in a pout.
"Caden…"
"Really, it’s not a problem , Isabelle. I’ll take him down there while you rest here for a few minutes and I’ll be right back," Faolan said quickly as he took a few steps closer to them.
"See? I told you," Caden said as he slid out of her arms and onto the floor. He quickly took Faolan’s hand before she could begin to protest again and led him out of the room.
"Bye Izzy ," he said at the doorway.
"Get some rest , Caden," she called back.
"I’ll be right back," Faolan quickly said before he was pulled from the room by his hand.
After they had left Isabelle sank down on the edge of the bed as her mind tried to make sense of what had just happened. Since his birth Caden had only wanted her. He would cry when anyone held him but her, even their father.
Faolan came back into the room a few minutes later and sat down next to her on the bed. He stroked her lower back as he pulled her closer to him.
"I’m sorry about Caden, he’s never been like that before," she said after a short pause.
"Don’t be sorry Isabelle, I like him very much. Kylin knows to give him cake tomorrow morning and he is welcome back here anytime. Are you alright though? He was right, you are a bit pale today."
She smiled gently at him. "I’m probably just a little tired."
"Take a nap with me before a meal then?" he asked.
"I would like that very
