(skip to morning? Unless you have something planned of course)

(lets skip)

There was a chance Gallagher was the first one up. Considering he was up with the sun. Oh how he hated that sun.

Giselle
Surprisingly not, Giselle had managed to drag Lowe up and early for breakfast, hoping to catch the Empress awake to join them before they all set off.

'Lionel'
He picked gingerly at some vegetables while he endured Giselle idly flicking at his hair between bites of food.

Gallagher walked into the room, looking the exact same as he had last night. He looked around for a moment, before turning and leaving.

Giselle
"What is with him?" She whispered to Lowell, concerned.

'Lionel'
"For personal reasons, he does not wish for others to see his face." He muttered back to her before taking a bite of the turnips he had been avoiding so far.

He was gone for about 30 minutes. They most likely wouldn't learn this until later, but the Empress usually forced him to eat with her he mostly ate his meals with the Empress.

(aww that's so sweet)

By this time both Lowell and Giselle had finished up, armed up, and were just getting ready to leave as horses were being brought around for them.

(right they are so cute)

Gallagher walked up to them. " You know where the hunting grounds are, correct? "

Giselle
"Might want to show us, just to be safe."
She motioned Gallagher to follow along as she hopped up on one of the horses.

'Lionel'
Lowell had more difficulty getting onto his horse as it whinied loudly and tried to break from the reins on sight of him.
He managed to get it to calm down after a moment or two of petting its head and muttering words to it before climbing on its back.

Gallagher nodded and began walking, not bothering to take a horse. Animals did not like him, not one bit.
