"Nana . . . ." Zane took a deep breath as he pulled her close "Are you absolutely sure?"

"I-I . . . I had a dream about Vylad . . . it was always about Irene, I was seeing through her eyes but the last one . . . . I saw Vylad" She whispered hugging herself curling into him quietly "Something is getting close I can feel it"

"What . . .was Vylad doing there?" Garroth whispered softly staring at her.

"He was helping Irene . . . he was the figure that brought her to Phoneix drop" She said softly as Zane took a deep breath

" . . . alright . . . I'm . . .I'm gonna go upstairs . . . your free to join me" Zane muttered slightly numbly as he gently took Kawaii~Chan out of his arms standing before heading out of the kitchen. His footsteps could be heard echoing up the stairs and Kawaii~Chan hesitated biting her lip.

"Go after him" Zianna said softly giving her a gentle smile nodding. That was all it took before Kawaii~Chan was rushing up the stairs after the ro'meave

"Well that was eventful" Laurence coughed quietly moving towards the entry way of the kitchen

"Yeah" Garroth rolled his eyes as he went to go out of the kitchen standing next to Laurence looking over his shoulder "Mom we can go investigate the stuff Vylad has . . . you should get some rest, you've had one hell of a day."

"I have one hell of a day, everyday, It's the family business" She hummed huffing slightly as Laurence snickered.

"I like the sound of that, The family business" Laurence smirked at her "Got a nice ring to it"

"Well we don't deal in nice things, but we are nice when needed so it works" Zianna smiled nodding as she grabbed keys off the key ring going to a certain locked cabinet on top of the fridge. Garroth fell quiet seeing her grab them leaving the kitchen heading downstairs to the basement study.

"This is nice" Laurence commented quietly as he went down the stairs after garroth glancing around the room. A laptop and computer was set up in one corner on a nice mahogany desk. A much larger desk was in the center of the room, taking up most of the space, being the size of an average king sized bed.

"Turn your head" Garroth ordered heading over to a painting taking it off the wall as Laurence immediately scoffed hiding a chuckle as he grinned at him.

"What's the matter don't trust me Gar-Gar?" He smirked taking a chair at the table leaning back and placing his feet on the table. Garroth immediately gave him a stale glare of annoyance as Laurence smiled innocently at him tilting his hair.

"Let's just say we have an Arrangement" He deadpanned. Laurence sighed covering his eyes with both hands childishly as Garroth started to put in the combination to the safe that had been behind the painting.

He lifted the worn backpack from the safe and grabbed the notebook as well closing it and setting the painting back on the wall as Laurence impishly peeked between his fingers grinning before grabbing the notebook before Garroth could protest.

"My last chance . . . huh" He commented as Garroth huffed at his disregard for personal space opening the backpack

"Where did you learn Italian?" He asked frowning at the brunette as he thumbed through the composition his face frustratingly blank to him.
