So, random thoughts, but does anyone else wish we got to see more of Daine's normal everyday life

So, random thoughts, but does anyone else wish we got to see more of Daine's normal everyday life? I mean if you think about it, all of the other Tortall series deal with the main character in a way in which we see them in what is an everyday setting for them for at least a part of the time. With Daine however, all we see is her life in times of great events. We never even get to go see Numair's tower, which I, personally, found very disappointing. Like, are there servants? How tower-y is it really? I personally get a very repunzel-esque image when I try to picture just a 'tower' and I think it would be really weird if he had a bunch of servants sitting there for most of the year while he was off reading books in chorus and moping about Daine. We never even get to know where she picked as her main home, if she ever did. I just wish we got to see more of her down time. I personally would not be against extra books…let's say one book between each of the already existing ones, eh? And one right after RotG; sounds good right? Admit it, we all want to know what really happened with Perin.

Daine stared, shamefully open mouthed, at the sheer chaos surrounding her and at the small dragon staring innocently at her from the floor. Daine had spent the last couple hours searching for said dragon and, at this precise moment, was thinking that she may have preferred not finding her. Her search had led her to Numair's room and upon finding him not there and the door unlocked has put two and two together and assumed that kit had broken in looking for the mage. What she hadn't assumed was the sheer magnitude of destruction the small creature had been able to cause in a single morning.

"Kit" She trailed off, too flabbergasted to even be angry in that moment. Kit merely whistled happily and nudged the small pile of odds and ends, mostly shiny, she had collected in front of her on the floor with her muzzle. Those had undoubtedly been the cause of her search. She took in the papers skewed across the study floor and winced at the broken bottles and spilled substances before an entirely new feeling of horror overtook her as she took into account the open door that led to Numairs personal chambers.

"Kit, you didn't!" She looked frantically at the young dragon but the only reply she received was an excited whistle before Kit jumped up and scampered as fast as she could into the other room.

"Kit! Stop right there!"

She ran after her and upon entering the chamber had to lean against the doorframe for support. This room was possibly even worse than the study, feathers and other various forms of stuffing coated the room and anything that possibly could have been knocked over had, including a large armchair which Daine was at a complete loss as to how Kit could have even begun to move. Kit whistled impatiently from where she stood, shifting from side to side excitedly, on the bed. Daine could only wince as she saw claw marks on the headboard. She turned her attention back to the dragonet who was jumping around something on the bed trying to get Daines attention. Sighing and realizing she would get nowhere until she investigated Kit's new treasure. A puzzled expression formed on her face as she approached the bed and took in the object, it was some sort of fabric with a shiny gold thread, no doubt what had attracted Kits attention, embroidered on it. It looked much too feminine for Numair. Picking it up she blanched, it was too feminine for Numair. The fabric in question was in fact a women's undergarment. She felt herself rapidly turning red and was about to drop the offending garment back to where it had lain when she heard the worst possible sound she could imagine hearing at that particular moment from the other room.

"What the hell?" Came Numair's voice from the study and before she knew it he had charged into his chambers looking for the culprit.

"Daine! What on earth?!" He stopped cold as he looked her over and his eyes fell upon the item in her hands, it was hard to tell who had turned a more impressive shade of red. Daine, who until this point had been completely frozen, quickly dropped; more like threw really, the undergarment onto the bed and quickly pointed at Kit.

"She did it!" The two of them stood there for a number of minutes in complete silence with Daine still pointing at Kit until the culprit in question gave a frustrated whistle demanding to be told what was going on. Numair simply stood there, wide eyed, while Daine looked at Kit, lowered her arm, and walked out of the room with as much dignity as she could muster. That was the day Numair began his research on dragon proof locks.
