As soon as Morwenna blurted it out, she regretted it.

Stuart was notoriously picky about his food; he probably wasn't going to be thrilled about the egg.

But Stuart just arched an eyebrow slightly. He didn't respond, but with a touch of his usual haughtiness, he took a seat on the small stool nearby.

It was a tiny stool, one Morwenna used to rest on when she was tired.
