*Siiiiiiiip*

The next morning.

- I can understand that, but be quiet, the walls aren't thick enough to drown out the sounds - the headmistress said as she sipped her tea.

- I agree, I didn't sleep well because of you - said Gideon, covering his yawn with his hand.

- You're always like that! - Grey said with reddened cheeks.

The four sat in the dining room and ate breakfast. It had already become something of a tradition; everyone was a roommate. Had Grey not seen with his own eyes the fact that the Headmaster was going into the next room from his and Caera's, he never would have thought that the Headmaster didn't happen to have a separate room.

- "I'm mentally over sixty years old, and I'm acting like some kind of twenty-something - Grey resented.

- Look, if you want, I can find a sound-deadening artifact and give it to you - Gideon started to say, picking at his plate with his fork, but was interrupted.

- Stop! Please don't go on - blushing and covering her face with her hands, Caera said.

- Hahaha - Cynthia and Gideon laughed together.

- Listen, Gideon, aren't you some kind of genius inventor? - Grey asked.

- Your sentence should be an affirmative, not a question - the latter remarked.

- It doesn't matter - Grey said, and pulled out one of the two remaining rings.

- I'm going to upset you, but two men can't make a baby - Gideon said with a serious look, which made Caera and the headmaster laugh uncontrollably while Grey held the ring with the same serious face, clearly not intending to laugh - Never mind, what do you want?

Gideon took the ring and began to examine it. After a moment, as if realizing something, he stood up and ran to his workshop. After a moment's hesitation, Grey followed him, followed by Caera and Goodsky, who remained at the table. Running into the lab, Gideon began examining the ring under a large magnifying glass, seeing some runes on it. Later, the others came up as well.

- You - pointing to Grey, Gideon said - Who are you?

- Her husband - pointing to Caera, Grey said.

- I know that already. Let me ask you something else. When did you... Not so, what time are you from?

Grey wasn't really surprised by this, one could even say that he was counting on it. Looking at Caera as if to ask "Should I tell him?" and receiving a nod in response, he began:

- Yes, you're right, we are from the future.

- How far into the future? - Gideon asked.

- After the war with Alacrya.

- And... What happened there?

- A lot of things... If you want to know how we got to the past, don't even try, we've forgotten, because the temporal paradox we created by coming to this time, we deviated from the past flow of time and should have disappeared altogether.

- But something didn't let-

Gideon realized that it was not just the rings, it was the rings that were preventing them from disappearing. He looked at Grey, who nodded, confirming Gideon's guess.

- I need an explanation - Gideon said with a serious tone, sitting down in his chair.

- Goodbye to my breakfast - Gray said, sitting down on the couch across from Gideon.
