Cat looked up from her toys to see her cousin standing at the door. She coughed; her papa had probably told Aspen's mama that she was sick, so Aspen stopping by was a surprise.
A good surprise, though! If company was around, then at least she'd get a chance to do something. "I'm not that sick. And I'm bored! Nanny never lets me do anything when I'm sick."
"Sick enough for others to fret, but not so sick that your want to lie in bed all day." Aspen laughed under her breath, though Cat didn't see what was so funny. "That's never fun--not until you're old enough that it gets you out of school, anyway."
"Adonis and Alina's wedding, I take it?" Aspen wasn't their cousin--they were Cat's cousins on her mama's side, while Aspen was on her papa's--but everyone knew each other. Aspen knew how fun Adonis and Alina were. "Yes, that should be an interesting one."
"I know! If I don't get to go, I'll-- I-- I might die!"
"I hope you're right."
"Older cousins are always right, Cat."
"Nuh-uh! Darry's papers always make Mama curse."

Before anyone starts worrying, no, Cat isn't the next in the line of perpetually sickly nobles; this is just a run-of-the-mill bout of sickness.
Aspeeeeeeeeen!!
I'm very glad to hear it's nothing serious this time. But... it wouldn't stop her to know that it was, if it was, would it?
Alas, probably not. :S
