Knock. Knock. Knock.

Josette quickly stands from her seat, putting the book down that she had been reading. She dusts her dress and takes a look at Roseline, adjusting the covers and simply making sure her Lady was looking her best despite her current condition.

The woman opens the door, not really expecting anyone to come by to visit Roseline so soon - besides the Crown Prince, of course. The day was nearly ending and so far, only Prince Alaric had come by to visit Roseline. Josette wasn't sure if she should feel sad for Roseline seeing as how even her own parents hadn't even dropped any sort of notice. It was almost night time and so far, Roseline had yet to wake up.

Though Roseline was once someone she would have called a 'friend', those days were long forgotten and now they were nothing more than mere acquaintances. Once upon a time ago, Meredith would have been worried over her but now... perhaps there was just a slight hint of worry - the very very slightest bit. 

She steps closer to the bed along with the dire wolf. The steady rise and fall of Roseline's chest indicated that the girl was still very much alive - great news to relay to the king and queen. Meredith reaches out to hold Roseline's wrist, placing two fingers to count her heartbeat.

"Did the healer say anything?" Meredith asks, "Her temperature is still a little cold and her heart rate isn'
