Late Nights and Little Sisters, for

There was no clock, but Edmund knew how long he had been working by the height of his candle. It was almost down to the socket, and yet his desk was still swamped with paper.

He lit a new candle off the old, and heard a chiding “Edmund...”

He sighed. “Lucy, the Archenland delegation will be here - “

“Tomorrow. And not until late.” Lucy plucked the pen from his hand. “Look at what you just wrote, Ed.”

He tried. His handwriting was past illegible.

Lucy shepherded him from the library, firm for all that she was called ‘the Gentle.’

^{Original prompt:}

Dragon in winter, awesome ladies, leaving behind the melancholy, swamped, staying up all night (mix and match!).
