The morning was quiet as Luca sat at the kitchen table, pushing his half eaten breakfast around his plate. He had been thinking about last night, how Asuka and Hideaki were doing, and just what he was gonna about his place in this Vongola business since the break of dawn. So far he had just gone around and around in his thoughts with no answer in sight. He was suddenly startled back to the table when [url=http://s1.zerochan.net/600/07/31/1429057.jpg]Felicita[/url], Luca's mother, placed a cup of juice in front of him. [color=springgreen]"Feeling okay, Lu~? You haven't said a word this morning."[/color] She inquired, feeling his forehead for any sign of fever. Luca looked at his mother and forced a smile. [color=orange]"I-I'm fine...just a little tired after last night's...excitement..."[/color] Lying to his parents was something he rarely did and he never considered himself particularly good at it but for now he had to. How could he tell his parents that he was the apparent successor to a huge mafia organization? Knowing his mother she'd probably march over to the school and demand that Shi never come near him again. Luca truthfully didn't know who he was more scared for in tat scenario. Dad...he was the very last person Luca would ever want to know.

[color=springgreen]"Really? You and Yuki didn't get carried away did you~?"[/color] Why did it seem everyone, including his own parents, insisted on teasing him about these things. Regardless, Luca barely reddened at all. [color=orange]"No, it was just a fun night...for the most part. I think I had a little to much to eat last night so I'm not very hungry."[/color] Luca slid the plate away from him and left the table, heading back up to his room. Felicita watched he son somber off and sighed. He was not the greatest liar.

Half an hour later the doorbell rang and Luca's mother left her sweet stash to answer it. She opened the door to reveal a young man wearing a suit. The teen introduced himself and she reacted slightly to the name. [color=springgreen]"An acquaintance? Isn't it a bit of a hot day to be wearing a suit~?"[/color] Felicita gave Ren a wry smile before stepping to the side and inviting him in. [color=springgreen]"Well, maybe my son could use a friendly face. He doesn't seem himself this morning."[/color] She offered to bring up some drinks and directed him to Luca's room.

Luca sat at his piano staring at a partially pilled piece of sheet music. His fingers danced across the keys as he remembered the notes by heart. He was completely absorbed into the moment until he reached where the sheet music cut off. For a short while he continued, the improvised notes blending perfectly with what was already there but then he started to slow and the notes became sloppy and unfitting. Luca's hands hovered over the keys as one started to clench out of frustration. If there was ever a clear tell that Luca was upset or had a lot on his mind it was when he had trouble playing. Just then he heard a knock at his door.

Sitting on the open windowsill in Asuka's room was a relaxed Fon as he took a deep breath of the morning air. Despite the chaos of the evening's gathering it had been quite the relaxing night. For him at least. The infant monk ha been worried about how his current host was going to react but to his pleasure she showed no signs of distress. In fact she seemed happier than he and Shi observed her to be at the festival. The rest of their night was quite fun and calm. [color=red]"Hm?"[/color] Fon opened his eyes to his monkey climbing up into the window and onto his head. [color=red]"You seem to have had your own adventure last night~"[/color] He said at it curled up and fell asleep.

It seemed like it would be fairly quiet until the meeting tonight. At least he thought it would. Fon looked down to see the archery captain arriving and fully equipped with a bow. The boy was a difficult one to read but Fon was hardly a newborn. [color=red]"He's a curious one."[/color] Asuka came in offering breakfast and Fon turned to her with a smile. [color=red]"Thank you. I'm sure you and our other guest have many questions and Ill be glad to answer them~"[/color] He said referring to Hideaki as the doorbell rang.
