The paper slid under her door was regarded with some curiosity. She sat on the edge of her bed in her prim plum colored dress, simply looking at it. It could be many things, this battered brownish paper. Likely not an invitation to a fancy gathering. Small slippered feet tapped against the edge of the bed as she considered it. Finally slipping down to go and gather it from the floor. It took several minutes for her to decide if she wished to know what someone had written her. Thus far, her experiences with most of the adults here had been less than encouraging.
Finally she unfolded the paper and carefully considered the contents. Her passive features twitched gently. Obviously someone had put a great deal of effort into the letter. And the picture, well...what could she say about that? Obviously it was meant to be flattering. Her cheeks brightened ever so slightly, and the softest laughter issued forth. It was sweet. Terribly sweet, but also quite comical.
Finally the paper was folded and placed in a pocket of her wide skirts as she set on her way down to the common room. Tea, as usual, perhaps some bread and cheese. And maybe...just maybe, she would inquire about this curious little note.
