They were still talking when Bodo woke up. Trex nodded and stepped out of Zelia's way as she headed toward the kitchen. Waiting until she left, he looked at his brother. "How is it really?" He asked, his voice hushed. 

He quickly learned how bad the situation was. It was as he had been hearing. It was going to be a rough year for his family. Already calculating how he could best assist, he nodded toward his brother. "We'll work through it." He promised.

Seeing Bodo flying over, Trex knew that the conversation was over for now but the good news was he got the information he needed. He would have to contact Peeter later and let him know but he would worry about that later. 

As the exceed entered the room, Trex stifled a sigh as the little guy attached to him. Seriously? It wasn't that he did not like the exceed. And the little guy was cute, though he would never admit that out loud. But still. Now his brother had a bunch more ammunition to hit him with. And when Peeter found out about this... He was never going to hear the end of this.

Glancing at Trex with amusement, Sanders looked toward Zelia. "Nothing much." He told her. A serious look crossed his face. "You both should get some rest." He declared. "You had a long walk to get here and you both have to be exhausted." He gave Zelia a slight bow. "If you but follow me I will show you your royal chamber." He told her. 

Also noting Zelia's yawn, Trex straightened. "That's a good idea." He said stretching. He knew that Zelia would probably not want them to stop just on her account. If she thought he was as tired as her she would not offer as much protest, if any. Besides, he was tired as well. He frowned slightly and looked around the room. His parents never did come out. He glanced at Sanders. "Did Pa and Ma turn in?" He inquired.

Pausing at the entrance of the hallway, Sanders glanced back. "Probably. You know how they are. They realize you're tired so instead of keeping you up half the night talking, they just turn in early and leave it at that." 

Trex nodded. It made sense. His parents were always looking out for them. He nodded to Zelia. "Goodnight." He told her. He watched her head down the hall before looking down at the exceed. "I guess that means you are with me." He declared. "Come on. I'll show you were to sleep." Not that the little guy was tired. He had been sleeping the entire time. Trex shook his head. Were exceed nocturnal? As they walked, Trex glanced at him. "You don't have to turn in now." He told Bodo. "This is just so you know where to sleep when you are ready. We don't have much around here, but help yourself. Don't feel like you have to turn in because everyone else is."
