"That was what I told him." , Mason chuckled. He held onto Nicolas's hand still, rubbing his thumb over his knuckles.

Nicote, standing in a cornor nearby and pretending to be more interested in his spike than anything else, overheard the comment made by William. Who doesn't get up at the break of dawn to watch the sunrise? he wondered, chipping away at the spike.

" Well, I suggest you just rest here till you are feeling better. " He said to Akio, seeming worried.

" I will wake up earlier next time.. " Nicolas said, feeling comforted by Mason being there. William again nodded, " Good, now.. try not to eat too much, when I leave I am having Archie show you all the rest of my estate and it is a lot of walking. "

Ay still looked like he wanted to murder something.
Dash looked depressed.
Akira looked worried.

"Can I skip the tour? I hate walking, crowds, and vitamin D." Nicote asked from behind William.

" You must take the tour unfortunately.. People have died due to getting lost, it is like a maze in this place. "

"Yes sir." , Mason replied without argument, despite his current opinion on Archie. He smiled back at Nicolas softly.

Ifera almost cracked a smirk at his obvious restraint to smile. "I did sleep well." Ifera said sitting down and giving him a side glace. "And I'll assume you did as well?" She said straightening her skirt out.

"Ugh you have to be kidding me...Please tell me that we're not going to have to cross a bunch of open fields or whatnot with not shade."

"Are you a vampire?" aked Akira curiously.
