A badly hung-over Urd stumbled up to a sink. She ran a glass of water, and then, she held up a small bottle of aspirin, and tried to open it. The lid turned, but the bottle didn't open.

Urd growled, and fumbled with the bottle. Damned child-proof containers, she thought. I hope no one sees me, the potion master, having trouble opening a medicine bottle—

As if on cue, Skuld walked up. The child goddess easily opened the bottle, winked at Urd, and walked away.

Urd was mortified to tears. She briefly considered taking all of the aspirin at once.
