The next morning after the eventful night with Helios, as expected, he opted to stay in his room. I decided to request for the breakfast to be served to him in bed as well. Before I left him to eat my own breakfast with the others, I made sure he has been well fed, bathed and healed up. The only thing left of what happened last time were the marks on his skin that I purposely left behind.
I was about a quarter of an hour late for breakfast and earn confused looks from everybody around the dining table. I ignored those looks, greeted everybody a "good morning" and started eating.
After about half an hour since the breakfast have been served, somebody finally voiced out the question running in their hands as they asked where Helios was and why he is not at the dining table eating with us. Since the question was raised to no one in particular, I just continued eating as if I did not hear it.
