Unlike most people, I hated actually going to sleep and looked forward to waking upin a way. When Id been a struggling apprentice portraiturist years before, I never would have believed I could have felt that way, but life has a way of changing preconceptions. In my case, it had to do with the sleeping arrangements required of imagers. Although wed been married for nearly five yearsit would be five years on the twenty-first of the coming FevierSeliora and I had never slept the entire night together; not that we both wouldnt have wanted to, but the dangers of that were far too high. Even before Id known I was an imager, Id lit lamps and imaged things in my sleep, and once Id even set a chest on fire. Imaging in a nightmare could easily have hurt Selioraif not worse.

So I was pleased to wake, dress in exercise clothes and boots, and leave my discreetly lead-lined bedchamber with its lead glass windows and pad barefoot into the main bedchamber and look at her sleeping there. Then I slipped from the house and ran down the walkways to the exercise area where Clovyl put all those of us assigned to various security-related duties through exercises that ended in a four mille run. After that, I trotted back to the house and showered and shaved, in always cool if not cold water, so that I was clean enough to slip into Selioras large bed before she actually rose and we got ready for the day.
