Cale continues his diligent work long into the night, too focused to stop and rest indicated by a slight nose bleed. The only time in which he stopped his work is when Hans, who stayed up late with him, pours some more Apple tea and brought some diced fruit for his young master to snack on. The young master soon notices something odd with Hans, who was now in his butler uniform with most of the dye gone, as he looks upset. Cale observes Hans secretly from the corner of his Henna eyes and then sighs as he stands.

Cale sits on one of the couches before motioning for the copper-haired butler to sit across from him. Cale notices how stressed he seems and lets a small smile grace his features.

"What's wrong, Hans?"

Hans fidgets in his seat before sighing deeply and looking at the marble table in front of them.

"I just remember two little kittens that I normally feed, they seem to be homeless. Will we be able to bring them here?"

The redhead hums before nodding, causing Hans to almost jump out of his seat before Cale leans forward to grab the teacup on the table. He gently sips the warm and fragrant apple tea that Hans made before going back into his thoughts about both the kittens and the poor little soul hidden in a cave in the territory next door. Getting the children won't be hard, at least the two kittens, the problem that he has is getting them here comfortably and giving them bedrooms. Plus, there is the fourth floor which has nothing on it that he can transform into a large conference room for his organization. There is only one problem with that idea, he will have to show his own house, and he does not want to put his precious and lovely family in danger by doing so. Hans seems deep in thought before he pours another cup of tea for himself while muttering some things to himself, which Cale does not pay attention to.

"Young master, why don't we transform the third floor into a lab? We can experiment with your runic magic in there as well as anyone else."

Cale almost chokes on the tea at Hans' question before sighing. Only Hans knows about his experimental magic mechanisms, however, he didn't think that he will ask such a question. Yet it is a good idea to make the empty third floor into a lab for both him and the others in fact if they get close to the little dragon then it could use this lab to create new magic items. Cale nods and smiles while sipping his tea.

"What a great idea, Hans. However, it will have to wait since we have to go to the Tolz Territory tomorrow after picking up the kittens. I will tell you the plan tomorrow as I need to do some more work. How do you like the idea of creating an underground organization, mainly for information?"

Hans sips his tea and then nods at the idea before setting his drink back on the barely illuminated table, it was now around midnight in the underground villa. Hans and Cale stayed up all night planning and creating the organization called Universe along with the uniforms. Ron walks in to wake up Cale but instead sees Hans and Cale surrounded by piles of paper and books, Hans sits on the floor by the covered coffee table since even the couches have stacks of paper on them while Cale was at his desk. Ron frowns at the two youngest of the four, Beacrox was up as well in the kitchen making food, while sighing. Cale is tired, his eyes closing on their own as his head almost falls onto the desk repeatedly as he fights to stay awake, while Hans seems to be fine with the all-nighter that they had pulled. Ron takes Cale to his bed as Hans starts to organize the papers and important documents that litter the whole room. Cale tries to fight back, however, his body rejects the idea of staying awake so the moment his head touches the pillow he is asleep making the two older men chuckle at their young master. Ron starts to help Hans, only to read some of the documents about the Universe and smile as this is a perfect way to gather information about anything and anyone.

After a half-hour of straightening the room out, Ron and Hans leave to eat and clean the rest of the villa if Beacrox did not get to it first. The day continues like that, other than Ron and Hans going out to get the kittens, On and Hong, and bring them back to the house so that they can eat and get bathed by Hans. Ron notified the others about the kittens being from the Fog Cat tribe, to be honest, Hans could care less about that indicated by how he ignored Ron talking about that and just took care of the two kittens. After a few hours, as Cale was sleeping, it is now noon Cale woke up feeling nice and refreshed. He gets up and stretches before he washes and leaves the room, making note that they need to go and buy some new clothes, walking to the kitchen only to see Ron, Hans, and Beacrox talking to two kittens while snacking on some food.
