Calcifer Night stood outside his princess's room, where he always stood. It was his job, as her bodyguard, to be alert at all times. He slept in a small servant's room adjacent to hers, and he woke with the dawn to guard her door. There was a night guard, of course, but other than those few hours, Cal was the one to guard the princess with his life. He kept a close eye on the maid as she entered the room, not letting her through until he was sure it was safe. And when she left the room, he checked her again to make sure she had stolen nothing. He didn't truly suspect the maid, of course, but he had to check. She understood. Once that was done, Cal waited for his charge to exit her room.
