Rowena's tour of the Imperial Zoo lasted so long that she missed lunch and dinner without even realizing it. She hurried to her suites in hopes of having dinner with her husband.
She startled him when she burst into their chambers, face flushed and eyes glowing.
"Did you enjoy yourself?" Daimon asked.
"Oh, yes!" she gushed enthusiastically and launched into a litany of information she had learned.
Her enthusiasm amused him. She seemed to feel very strongly about things. He'd never met anyone who felt joy and wonder so fully and expressed it so openly.
"Have you had dinner, My Husband?" she asked.
"No" he replied.
Good" she said grinning widely, "then we can have it now together."
"I'm afraid not." Daimon said regretfully.
"Oh," she said forlornly. "I guess I can eat by myself."
"You can't eat either." Daimon said.
"…"
Seeing her confusion, Daimon explained "We are supposed to be fasting."
"Why?" she asked as her alarmed stomach growled again in protest.
