Making sure that Sylph was eating, he left to check on Shiva and noticed that Meleanie's friends were still here. He didn't say anything though because he had behaved so well today and he didn't want to ruin it by telling his sister that they didn't even have rooms for her friends. His parents were still talking to some old friends it seemed, so this meant he could finally leave to his room and sleep. Looking at his sister's friends, he waved goodbye before quickly leaving back to the kitchen where he picked up Sylph when he finished eating and started to head upstairs.

after awhile everything settled down and Mel's friends agreed to her offer and went to the nearest inn where their rooms were already taken care of for them.

Shiva soon finished her work for the moment and went to see if Rurik needed anything before she would head off to take a break. She easily went to his room and knocked a bit hoping she didn't disturb him.

"Meleanie if it's you at the door I suggest you leave me alone or else!" Rurik hissed as he got ready for bed after setting Sylph down. Once he got dressed he opened the door and saw Shiva standing there. "Yes Shiva? What is it that you want?" he asked her. Today had been a terrible day and all he wanted to do was sleep and forget about it.

"Oh uh I just wanted to see if there was anything you needed before I went to bed?" Shiva asked softly and almost meekly, after being snapped at last time she was a bit worried that he was still upset with her.

"I don't need anything Shiva." he lied and let out an soft sigh. "You go and get some sleep Shiva, I'll see you in the morning. Goodnight." He said calmly. He felt bad for yelling at Shiva since she hadn't done anything wrong. He planned on getting her a little something tomorrow as his way of apologizing to her for what he did today.

"Okay, good night master, sleep well." Shiva said with a slight bow before heading to her room and got cleaned up taking a shower quickly before getting ready for bed and got settled in for the night falling asleep quickly.

Rurik closed the door and slipped under the covers and gently pet Sylph who was already fas asleep. Yawning softly, Rurik soon fell to sleep too.

The next morning, Rurik was up earlier than anyone else. His thirst for blood was starting to be too much since he didn't feed off of Shiva at the party. Desperately, he went into the kitchen and started to drink whatever he could find. All while trying to be quiet.

Shiva yawned a bit as she awoke the next morning rather early and got up getting dressed and headed towards the kitchen. The few staff that were up really early were normally very quiet so she was surprised to hear someone moving around so much. "Good morning...hm? Oh Master it's you, is something wrong?" she asked a bit worriedly after giving a tiny yawn. She had never seen him in a frenzy or anything, never seen him really craving blood in such a way so she didn't really know what to look for sign wise.

Rurik jumped at the sudden voice and let out a soft sigh when he saw that it was just Shiva. "Shouldn't you be sleeping or helping out the other servants?" he asked and yawned softly. "I don't want to hurt you, so I suggest you get back to work. I actually have an errand I need to run." Rurik explained, now remembering that he wanted to get her a little gift.

"Hu? I was just about to start working... with all the commotion yesterday the floor in here got a bit dirty and not everything seemed to get done last night so I was going to clean in here... But... are you okay? you don't look well." Shiva explained softly but then looked a little worriedly at him since he just seemed off right now... and he had yesterday too... was he getting sick or something? That thought worried her even more.

"I have to go now Shiva. Tell Jamil that he's in charge of Sylph. You are in charge of making sure my stupid sister stays away from my things, I also don't want her pet near mine until I get back okay?" Rurik instructed but didn't give her a chance to answer before leaving the house and ordering the carriage driver to take him over to where all the shops were in town.

"Yes master, of course." Shiva said softly before going to deliver the message to Jamil but was sure that his sister wouldn't go into his room so just went back to the kitchen and started to clean. She wondered a bit if he would need to feed later that day... she was sure he would but didn't really have a problem with that

When they arrived at the shops, Rurik ordered the driver to wait for him while he did his shopping. Walking into the first shop, he decided to look for something that Shiva would like. "What would she like though?" he asked himself as he continued to look around. She liked soft things, so at least he had some sort of idea as to what to get her. "Another stuffed animal maybe?" Rurik asked himself as he started to look through the stuffed dolls.

Shiva worked hard as she cleaned then had a bit of an early breakfast with some of the other servants and went to check on Imber and give her food before going back to work wondering how long Rurik would be gone and if he really was okay or not.

Rurik settled on a soft rabbit plush doll and even bought her more soft things for her room. When he finished paying for them, Rurik left to another store to grab himself something to drink, played for it, and got back on the carriage. "Let's head home now." Rurik ordered the driver and they were quickly on the way back home.

Shiva continued to work but kept looking around a little to see if Rurik was back but hadn't seen him yet so just continued to clean hoping he didn't miss breakfast.

When Rurik arrived back home, he went over to Shiva's room and dropped off the gifts before heading over to the dinning room for breakfast. "Good morning Rurik, did you sleep well?" asked Atros. Rurik nodded and took his seat, waiting for breakfast to be served.

Shiva noticed that Rurik was home but easily continued to work knowing that she would have a break before too long and wondered if she should talk to Rurik or not... she wondered if he was still upset or what could be bothering him now.

When breakfast was served, Rurik started to eat and drank his water as well. He wasn't sure what he would do today, but part of him just wanted to go back to sleep since he wasn't used to being up so early. He wasn't so thirsty anymore, but he knew he'd have to feed soon enough.

Shiva sighed as she was finally able to take a break and went to check on Imber letting her outside but noticed something different in her room... a bunny stuffed animal was in her room that she didn't have before along with some other items. She looked at them and picked up the bunny smiling a little as she thought of Rurik, he really was very kind to her, she would have to thank him after breakfast.

Breakfast went by in silence, probably because they were still somewhat tired. When he finished his breakfast, he went to check on Sylph who was enjoying his own breakfast while Jamil cleaned the room up. Seeing that everything was going well, Rurik left out to the garden and lay down on the soft grass were he closed his eyes to rest for a bit, enjoying the sound of the birds chirping.

After Mel had gotten Ivy food that morning she let her go outside to play having asked Shiva if she would mind Ivy playing with Imber and of course she didn't. When Rurik came outside the two foxes easily spotted him and both cocked their heads as they watched him lay down. They looked at each other curiously before going over and looking at Rurik not far from either side of his head, but not too close to touch him. Ivy cocked her head again and looked at Rurik worriedly wondering if he was okay or not

Rurik felt a presence and opened his eyes to see two foxes staring at him. "What are you staring at?" he asked and narrowed his eyes. "It's very rude to stare so I suggest you stop or I will get mad again, and trust me when I say that I don't want to.' Rurik said and yawned softly before lookin at them as they continued to stare. " Will you stop it? It's getting very weird, and it's creeping me out really so stop it." he said and rubbed his eyes tierdly before closing them and trying to relax.

"Why are you sleeping outside Prince? is your bed not comfy?" Ivy asked curiously as Imber started to run around again but made sure not to be too loud.

Rurik hissed and quickly got up again. "I can't even relax anymore. Stupid talking animal!" Rurik hissed as he stormed off back into the house and walked into the parlour room where he lay down on the couch. He could have gone back to his room but he didn't want to disturb neither Sylph or Jamil. "I'm just glad that Imber and Sylph don't talk. They know how to behave thankfully." he mutter to himself as he closed his eyes and tried to relax.
