Lloyd was still asleep when Ellis awoke, though he was stirring a bit. He was still making the soft purring noise.

Ellis looked over, smiling a little when he heard that purr.

Lloyd stirred a bit more and soon opened his eyes. He sat up and yawned, rubbing at his eyes with one hand and running the fingers of the other through his ruffled hair. "Mmm… how long've I been out…?" He asked drowsily.

Ellis looked over, and shrugged. "I don't know. I just woke up." he replied.

Lloyd nodded, running his fingers through his blonde hair until it was sufficiently smooth. "Sorry… I don't normally just doze off like that." He laughed weakly. "Didn't get much sleep last night."

"It's fine, Lloyd." he replied with a soft smile, stretching a little.

Lloyd fidgeted with his wings a bit. "Hopefully I haven't been asleep too long… I know I'm supposed to attend a meeting around seven with Anton and my father to address wedding things…"

He blinked, then shrugged. "I…have no idea." he replied.

Lloyd checked his watch and sighed softly. "Alright… I've got fifteen minutes, so I should be fine."

He nodded. "Alright. Are you going to leave Lio here when you leave, or…?"

"I can if you want me to." Lloyd shrugged. "I don't think I should take him to the meeting."

"Please leave him??" he asked, biting his lip.

"Alright, alright, I will." Lucas laughed softly.

He smiled happily. "Thank you!"

"No problem, Ellis. I should probably get going now. Keep an eye on the dogs!" Lloyd grabbed his crutches and left the room to go to the meeting.

Ellis grinned, taking Lio and kissing the pup's forehead. "See you!"

Lloyd headed into the room where the meeting was being held to find Anton and his father already there.

Ellis kept petting Lio happily.

Anton looked up. "Ah. Hello." he greeted.

"Hello." Lloyd dipped his head politely and lowered himself into a chair. "What exactly do you want to talk about?"

"I was under the impression that this was just for discussion of…well. Everything."

Lloyd nodded. "Well, the wedding will have to be after I've healed… I know that much. I can't imagine that being more than a month."

Anton nodded. "Right. How are you doing, by the way?"

Lloyd shrugged a bit. "I still can't walk very effectively, but I think I'm doing better than when I was originally shot."

"That's good." he drummed his fingers for a moment.

"Erm… Ellis was shot, by the way. I… don't know if you knew. He's okay, though…"
