[OOC: First, three meme links~ Snow Day, Picture Prompt, and Minor Injury. Second, a brief starter, set in the Golden Age!]
Susan was absolutely exhausted. There'd been all sorts of things to attend to, between the Terebinthian ambassadorial party that had come for a visit and planning for the upcoming Harvest festival, and the small village of Cats that had come to take shelter at the Cair because their home had been flooded in the recent rains and needed to be housed. It was entirely draining, and of course, the Gentle Queen being who she was, she'd taken on far too much of the work in trying to get it sorted.
A fact that will be realized when, after quite a few of the servants and courtiers meant to interact with the Queen find themselves sorely lacking her presence, someone will find her fast asleep at her desk, apparently halfway through a letter.
