"I won't mention her presence in the castle with anyone else," the teapot promised. That just didn't sound like it was going to end very well. She glanced up at the stairs and sighed.

So she hopped down off the table and looked around to be sure no one was looking. Once she was sure the coast was clear, she hopped towards the stairs.
