Alex nodded and replied, "Yeah, that's true.  Should we all have lunch here or do you two want lunch somewhere else?"

Ryan shrugged and replied, "It doesn't really matter to me as long as we eat something."

(Sorry for the long delay. My laptop's wireless got stuck for a bit. XD)

Nerine replied, "It doesn't matter to me either but umm, maybe it would be better to eat here. If we go downstairs, the others will keep asking questions and I think it's best to keep things quiet until we can put the plan in action."

(Ahh that's all right.  I understand how annoying that can be.  XD)

Alex nodded and replied, "Ok.  In that case, I'll go find a maid and ask her to bring lunch for three here."

He stepped outside the room and after finding a nearby maid, he asked her to bring lunch up to his and Nerine's room for three people.

(Thanks. XD)

The maid went right away to fetch lunch for the party. Meanwhile, Nerine was silent, as although she wasn't too comfortable with Ryan's presence, she was convinced that they all needed to work together to get out of that trouble. She wasn't too worried about Lycoris herself but wanted this whole mess to end.

Alex returned to the others and said,

"Ok, one of the maids will bring lunch up here and in the meantime, we should all rest and eat.  How does that sound?"

Ryan replied, "That sounds fine to me."

Nerine nodded and replied, "Yes, I agree. You need all the energy you can get for tonight."

A little later, the maid knocked on the door again, returning with plenty of delicious food for lunch.

Alex opened the door and helped the maid inside.  After the food was laid out on the table and the maid left, Alex looked to the others and said,

"Let's eat.  This looks very delicious."

Nerine nodded and they all sat down to eat. The food was delicious and hot and they could enjoy a tasty, refreshing meal.

Alex and Ryan took their seats as well and began to eat, too.  While doing so, Ryan asked, "So what should we do after lunch?"

Alex replied, "I guess we should try to rest up for tonight.  I can't think of anything specific we need to do."

Nerine nodded in agreement and said, 

"I agree. I think a nap for the afternoon might be in handy. Then once it's dinnertime, we can eat and head to the academy directly to meet up with Duchess Irene and the others."

Alex nodded and replied, "Yup, that sounds good."

Ryan replied, "Ok.  I'll head back to my room and rest up after I've had lunch as well.  Then I'll return here later so we can have dinner and then head on out."

Nerine nodded, agreeing to this plan, and continued eating her lunch until she was all done. She then waited for Ryan and Alex to finish eating as well.

Alex and Ryan soon finished their lunch as well and once everyone was done, Ryan stood up and said,

"I'll head to my room now and rest but I'll come back later for dinner and then we can go out."

Alex nodded and replied, "Yes, that sounds good."

Ryan bowed and then left the room.  Alex then turned to Nerine and said, "Let's clean up and put this outside so a maid can pick it up later."

Nerine nodded and getting up, she gathered all the empty dishes and plates on the tray and cleaned up their table, then put it all outside for the maid to take later.

She returned to Alex's side and then, "Let's rest for the afternoon, my Alex. You'll need all the strength you can get."

Alex smiled softly and nodding, he replied, "Yup, that sounds good to me, darling."

He gave Nerine a quick sweet kiss on the lips and then led the way towards their bed so that they could take a nice afternoon nap.

Nerine smiled softly and followed Alex to the bed where they both laid down next to each other. She cuddled close to Alex and quietly said, 

"I'll enjoy this short nap as long as I'll sleep in your arms, my Alex."

Alex happily wrapped his arms around Nerine and gazing lovingly into her eyes, he softly replied,

"And I'll enjoy this nap with you, holding you in my arms."

He leaned in to give Nerine a sweet, loving kiss on the lips.

(Getting sleepy here so I'll get off for the night now and go to sleep.  I'll post again tomorrow after I get back from work and all.  Nite, nite, Love.  ^^)

(Nite, nite, phoenix. ^^)

Nerine returned the kiss softly and after it was eventually over, she happily said, "I'll see you when we wake up, my Alex."

She cuddled closer to him and closing her eyes, she soon fell asleep.

(Back now and I'll fast forward the time to almost dinnertime.  XD)

A couple of hours later, Alex woke up and he looked on happily at Nerine, who was sleeping peacefully beside him.  He gazed at her, not moving to make sure that he wouldn't wake her up.  He wanted to enjoy these peaceful moments with her before they had to proceed on with their mission.

(Welcome back and ok. ^^)

Nerine woke up a little later after Alex did, and as she saw him already awake, she smiled happily and said,

"Hello, my Alex. Have you been awake for long?"

(Thanks.  ^^)

Alex shook his head and happily replied, "Nope, not for long.  I like watching you sleep, darling.  Did you have wonderful dreams?"

Nerine smiled happily and nodding, she said, 

"Of course I did, my Alex. When I sleep in your arms, I can only have the most wonderful dreams. How do you feel now? Are you more energized and ready for tonight?"

Alex nodded and replied, "I am although I'm feeling a little nervous, too.  I hope we can pull this off."

He almost said that he wished that they had Lisianthus' support as well although he refrained from saying so.

Nerine couldn't help but feeling worried herself but wanting to stay strong for Alex's sake, she rubbed his back gently and said,

"Don't worry. You're strong enough to do this along with the others. I am sure you will be able to get Lycoris back safely and without any fighting at all."

Alex smiled softly and replied, "Yup, you're right, darling.  And we have the others to help as well."

(Ahh yeah, if I'm slow in replying, it's because I'm gaming as well.  XD)
