Nathan sighed as he picked up his comb and roughly ran it through his hair again before giving up and throwing it across the room. He rolled across his head to the other side to grab his backpack and his books. Heading towards the door, Nathan pulled his sleeves down and started walking out before turning around and opening the blinds. He looked outside at the bright blue sky and groaned, it was still too early for this. Running down the stairs and into the kitchen, he skidded across the floor where Sparrow was already up, her hair a mess, making a cup of coffee. "Morning kid, where are you going?" She said, yawning. Nathan sighed and gestured to his backpack. "Magnus said that he wanted to show me the "wonders of an early morning" so he woke me up with a call and said that he had something to show me at the park." He groaned. Sparrow laughed and took a sip of her coffee before gesturing to the fridge. "Make sure to take some lunch." She said and turned back to the stove. Nathan frowned and headed towards the fridge and grabbed 3 pre made sandwiches and a bottle of water. He got his hoverboard and jumped on it, waving to Sparrow and zoomed in the direction of the park where he couldn't wait to give Magnus a piece of his mind.

Esmae had been up since four. For some reason she just couldn't sleep. As soon as she got up she headed to her dads personal gym to get a good workout. The only thing was it was a drive, and Esmae wondered why he didn't just build one here, he had the money. Uriah had given his key to the guild to her since he didn't go there too often. And most morning she would steal his car, but he didn't need to know that. Esmae had been into Karate as of late and worked on her flexibility. There was one person her who was a bit older that taught her all these cool gymnastics moves she had never seen before. When hmshe was old enough she wanted to teach kids self-defense. No one needed to go through so much pain in their life. With a smile Esmae took break and got some water. It was good to keep hydrating yourself. Her hair was in French braids, so that it wouldn't get in the way, although it still did. "Maybe I should cut it."

Adie woke up at around three, looked at his clock, groaned, then promptly went the hell back to sleep for another three hours. This time when he woke up, it was six and he could actually wake up without feeling like throwing someone out the goddamned window. Adie got into his normal outfit and headed to the bathroom, throwing on some eyeliner and heading out the door.

Katya couldn't sleep at all last night and woke up even more tired than when she had fallen asleep. She was in a bad mood didn't bother leaving her bed. Maybe she could get some sleep if she just stayed in bed? She decided to just let the time pass until someone came and got her, because Kat knew they would come for her eventually.

Uriah woke up and looked over to see Luna. She was cute even when sleeping. He smiled and kissed her forehead. He tired his best to be quiet so she wouldn't wake up. He was thankful that his house was just behind his company building. It took a while to build but once it was dome he moved his family in. Getting dress he looked out the window and realized his car was gone. What the- He brushed his hair out and walked to the kitchen. The girl's rooms were up stairs while his and Luna's was down stairs. To grab some coffee. He ran a hand through his hair. I'm so tired. Theres no time for breakfast. sighing he finished his coffee and heaed for the door.

Esmae was enjoying the peace she had while alone. But it didn't last long, Caleb walked through the door carrying his gym bag. "Early as always." He said and went to sit beside her. "Hey." Esmae elbowed him playfully. They had this flirty relationship, but were actually together, it could be because of the age, but honestly it didn't bother her too much, so maybe she didn't want people to say bad things about him. It was bad enough that everyone knew he liked her, he would get wired looks, and Esmae didn't like that. "Are you going to sit here or are you actually going to workout?" Caleb laughed and stood up. "Fine. I'll get to work." Esmae watch and pulled her knees to her chest.

Cyrus had woken up before Sparrow. He didn’t tell her about the nightmares. He never had.
He hadn’t been able to get Panther’s blood off his hands and woke with a slight start- not enough to wake Sparrow, but he couldn’t go back to sleep, still feeling dirty and almost like he was suffocating.
Cyrus took a shower, scrubbing his skin much harder than he should have to wash the blood that wasn’t actually there away.
He leaned up against the shower wall, trying to calm himself a bit before getting out.
When Sparrow came into the kitchen, and when Nathan passed through, he had already been there a while, sipping on some tea and reading a book, strangely quiet.

Vida, meanwhile, was still in bed, but just barely awake.

Luna stirred a little as Uriah left. She never liked how early Uriah had to leave each morning, but there was nothing she could do about. Except today she could probably tell him goodbye since she was up already. Stealthy she walked out of their room and snuck up on Uriah right before he was about to walk out of the door. She went up on her tiptoes to kiss his cheek before dropping back on her heels with a smile, "Love you darling. See you when you come home."

Sparrow finished her coffee and put the cup in the sink, washing it, then turning around to see Cyrus sitting quietly with a book in hand and a cup in the table. "Hey, didn't see you there, when did you wake up?" She asked curiously taking a seat across from him.

Nathan spotted Magnus's brown hair from where he stood and walked over to him. Upon reaching him, the first thing he did was punch him.in the arm and glare at him. "You had better have a good reason for waking me up at this ungodly hour, or else I'm never speaking to you again." He grumbled only to be shushed Magnus. "Look over there." He said quietly. Nathan raised his eyes and looked across the pond, inti the bordering forest, at the small herd of deer that had stopped by to take a drink of water.

Uriah jumped a little, he was daydreaming and forgot about everything around him. He spilt some coffee, but that was okay, he would clean it up. "Ah, Goodmorning, sorry if I woke you up." He smiled, grabbing some paper towels to clean the coffee. "I hope you slept well." Kissed her forehead. "I wish I could take the day off. Which reminds me, have you seen my car?" Sure he didn't have to drive to work, but he would still love to know where it is. "And where is Katya? Should she be awake?" He hadn't even started work and he was stressing out. "I need a moment." He sat at the dinning room table. He had about fifteen minutes before he had to leave.

"About an hour before you," he said.
Actually it had been at least twice that long, but it was best to not worry her.
"I felt kind of gross, so I went to go shower. But, anyway… good morning, beautiful. Sleep well?"
He reached across the table to hold Sparrow's hand.

Sparrow smiled and rubbed her thumb across her knuckles. "It was a decent nights sleep. She said, lying through her teeth. To tell the truth, she had been having strange dreams that made her restless and she wasnt having the simplest nights. She had woken up a couple time to see Cyrus having a nightmare, and tried to call him within his sleep but wasnt sure if it worked. Sparrow opened her mouth to say something but the doorbell had just rung. She frowned and stood up, walking towards it and smiling at the sight of a familiar browned haired girl. She opened the door with a smile. "Thalia! So good to see you! What are you doing here so early?" She asked.

Thalia had woken up to head to the lab when she spotted Nathan running outside. She realized that the neighbours were awake and decided to go over there. "I made some cookies yesterday and had too many, would you like some?" She asked, raising a small plate of many different cookies. Sparrow nodded and gestured for her to come in but Thalia declined. "I apologize, but I am late as is. Boss prefers all her lab techs to be on time." She smiled, turning around and waving. "I'll come by later though!" She said and gor in her car, driving towards the lab.
