After the visit to the Pontiff's Hall, Luke, Meredith, and Alexis returned to the half-dragon house. The furniture, the floor, everything was shining, and since everyone was tired from the trip, Matthew thought it was only right that everyone took the day off to rest.
Luke enjoyed seeing how Matthew acted like a leader again after finding out that Shiro and Sarah were not dead.
After the afternoon lunch, almost everyone in the gang eventually fell asleep, and even Meredith also dozed off from exhaustion. The huge weight of uncertainty if Rebecca would believe them or not, proved unnecessary, and everyone was much more relieved after knowing that the Pontiff would talk to the Emperor.
Only Luke Lange and Alexis Dmitry did not sleep that afternoon and, sitting on the balcony of the second floor of the residence, they talked about Alexis' adventurous days.
