Rolling around for quite some time, his worry only growing now that he has gone a night without seeing his dear little brother, Mois can not find it in himself to sleep just yet. Instead he rolls right off the bed and throws on one of his favorite cotton robes. Unlike his brother who preferred 'the finer things in life' as he puts it, he finds the rough thick feeling of cotton and wool more pleasant than silk and the like. [i]'Spoiled little son of a feather bed! One of these days I'ma sit him down and whoop him like father use to, get me some answers!'[/i]

His angry thoughts do not last long, knowing he could never raise a hand to his brother, no matter what. [i]'If I were any other way, he would not trust me. Sure, I have stopped him from doing certain things by force, but I have never raised a hand to him, or stopped him when it was something that really matters. And even after I stop him, he always finds a way to do it anyways. . . .'[/i] Letting out a faint groan he collapses into his favorite chair, his eyes going to the fire where the flickering flames keep him lost for a time, drawing him away from the worry.

There is a soft knock at his front door, starling him out of his lack of deep thought and for a few seconds he just stares openly at the finely finished wood. [i]'Door. . .Knocking. . .Not Alexi, he never knock, so a servant? Why? At this hour. . . .'[/i] Rather than letting his mind run wild over just why a slave would be knocking on his door at such a late hour he pushes himself up with a groan and walks over in a few quick strides. Pulling the door open he manages a half smile at the sight of Joseph. [i]'Well, he's not falling to pieces, so I can assume my dear brother is still in one piece'[/i] His mind flashes to the visual of Joseph after Alexi's untimely death but swiftly shakes the image away, not really wanting to think about his brother's demise. “Come in Joseph.” He murmurs, leaving the door open as he wanders back to his chair to sit down. Once settled he motions that the vampire may sit if he wants to, then waits quietly for Joseph to state his purpose.
