The morning sun filtered through the window of Hadrian's bedroom, dancing along the floor, before running its luminescent fingers along the well made bed the lied empty. On the other side of the room Hadrian sat by a small table as he inspected his Estoc's blade, having gotten up well before the sun he had gone over it at least twice. Satisfied he sheathed the blade and let the small orb of light he had floating over his left shoulder for light wink out of existence, its tiny light being swallowed by the morning sun. 

With a sigh he stood and buckled the weapon around his waist, tilting it in an almost instinctual fashion as to not let the length of the blade interfere with his walking. Satisfied he moved to his bedroom door and opened it quietly, stepping as lightly as he could on the wooden floor that awaited him in the main living area of the house. Cautiously he crossed the floor, descending the stairs with a practiced grace, he placed his feet so that the one slightly off kilter stair halfway up wouldn't scream out in it loud creak as another person put weight on it. Reaching the bottom, Hadrian couldn't help but smile, this was one of the first times he had gotten this far without doing something that would wake the probably still sleeping Olifina. However just as he was about to take his first grinning step towards the table, Hadrian heard a light snicker emanate from near the end of it. The source of this laughter surprisingly came from Olifina, who had seated herself at one end of the table, with a small mirror propped up on one side of her, and a plate with some fruit, sliced bread and cheese, sat on the other. 

She was starring intently into the mirror as she chewed her breakfast, playing with her hair here and there. "Dad, you do know, I get up right around the same time you do. right?" she asked Hadrian as he gathered some of the bread that had been sliced, as well as an apple.

Hadrian considered this for a moment before taking a bite of his apple and speaking up "True I suppose, but that dosn't mean I can't try to be partially polite. Besides we both know what happens if I wake you you up too early." 

Both sat there, before they both broke out in a large smile "Ha-ha, riiight." Olifina retorted as she went back to playing with a few strands of hair. "Besides" she continued "any later and we would be late." 

Hadrian looked out the window and sure enough she was right, the morning was progressing faster than he realized. Finishing up their breakfast, both he and Olifina left to arrive at the palace not to much later. They were about to go their separate ways when they were stopped by a made, who quickly informed them of the queens request for both of their attendance. Both thanking the maid, Hadrian and Olifina quickly responded to the summons, bowing as they entered the room.
