In an odd turn of events, the residents of Falner Estate would wake up that morning to an empty lawn. What the regulars at the Main Mansion would see, instead, is the sight of Aidan Clayce walking through the corridors, heading for the wing dedicated to the Malice Kings.
Perhaps it was not so odd if one understood the context of the situation. Riley Falner - Daywalker of the Malice Kings, Master of the Falner Estate - had woken up only two weeks ago when he should have stayed asleep for centuries. After the Clerics made it certain that Riley would survive the ravages of the Deep Slumber, the vampire had been whisked away to his own quarters and given strict instructions to rest until his own legs could carry their weight. Liandrin Delacroix's stipulations, of course: she wasn't going to stand for having one of her own trundling about in a wheelchair or hobbling around with a cane when he really should be in bed.
Business had kept Aidan away for the past week. This was one of the reasons why the Voidseeker was heading up to see Riley; the other Malice Kings had picked up the slack, taking turns with the Daywalker in order to keep him company. Besides, to say that he had missed his old friend greatly would be one of the biggest understatements of the century.
The only thing the Daywalker was going to get before Aidan entered without hesitation was a single knock.
