Midnight Manor Private Residence, Sunday Night

Well, it sure has hell had been a day. There was a lot of bread currently populating both the private residence's and the boarding house's kitchen, let's just put it that way. And we won't even talk about the dough in the freezer.

Eventually, though, Watts had slipped into bed exhausted, falling asleep rather immediately.

The smell of vomit and sweat hit him like a wave as soon as he stepped inside.

It was overwhelming, he was practically choking on it. He wanted to run, be anywhere but here- but at the same time, he knew he needed to be here, this might be the last-


Watts awoke with a gasp, scrambling out of the bed and scribbling a quick note for Steven indicating that he'd be on the balcony. He threw on a pair of trousers and a shirt without checking whose they were- probably Steven's, honestly, judging by the softness of the fabric if nothing else- and all but flung himself out the balcony door and on to the outdoor sofa.

"She also asked me to pass on her apologies for everything," Steven said. "Of course I told her none were necessary, but you know her. She felt bad all the same."

Steven smiled approvingly at the wording.

"Her - Duke?" Steven still wasn't entirely certain what the relationship there was " - said it may take days."

Steven held Llewellyn's hand tighter and more protectively. "Don't care for it happening at all. Horrible rules. Horrible thing to do to anyone, let alone a child."

Yes, Arden was in her late teens. She still counted as a child to Steven.

"Absolutely unacceptable," Steven said. There was a look in his eyes that was a shadow of the reminder that in this particular instance, Marc had been the one holding Steven back.

"At least it's over?" Steven said, going for optimism. "And she's safe and on her way to sound?"

Steven in the meanwhile busied himself with their drinks. "Still coffee? Not tea?"

Steven had no particular preference, he was just checking in case Llewellyn had changed his mind on the way down.

"I'll brew us a pot then," Steven said, setting about to do just that. "The biscuits look wonderful. Smelled it as well, when you were baking them."

"Perhaps tomorrow we can have something nice to go with your bread," Steven said. He got out one of Llewellyn's favorite mugs for his coffee. "Soup, maybe."

Those were all the reasons Steven had picked it. That and it would be nice to sop up broth with Llewellyn's bread.

"Hopefully we can take things easy tomorrow," Steven said. "No more bad surprises."

"We could do anything you like?" Steven suggested. "Tomorrow, I mean. Well, now as well. If it helps you feel better?"

"A walk along the beach perhaps?" Steven suggested.

"Perhaps for lunch a picnic by the water?" Steven said.

The coffee was ready so Steven began pouring it into the mugs and preparing Llewellyn's the way he liked it.
