70 Sung Manor (2/2)
Dimitri glances up.Father does spend more time in his still room than with you, Mother.
Five minutes after taking the glossy blue path,Dimitri spies stone walls with vines, and thorns covering them. Father opens the gate without bothering to knock.
Although the building was well maintained, the withered plants and overgrown grass sharply contrasted with everything else in the estate. To the left, it seems to have been a herb garden but dried leaves smothered the ground, only raised beds, and fencing hinting.

Grandfather sat upon a boulder, scribbling upon a lap desk muttering to himself. ”Father, why did you chase the servants away?” Father asks. ”Hush, child” Grandfather responds. An elderly man steps forward. ”Master Gavin said they were too fussy, and demanding, and ordered them out almost two weeks ago. Although he did allow a maid in yesterday to tidy your suite when you sent word you were returning,” The elderly man says.
Father nods. ”Thank you, Hino. Can you show us to our suite?” Father asks.Hino nods. ”Of course. And if I may say, it's welcome to see you come home, young Gin,” Hino says, leading them into the house. Grandfather allotted them an entire wing of the house. ”Your trunks and bags arrived several hours ago.I took the liberty of unpacking the nursery so Young Master Dimtri could nap during the unpacking” Hino explains, showing off each room.
There was a study, a sunroom, a large stillroom, a kitchen, dining room, the nursery, and a large master bedroom. I wonder if the servant rooms are behind the kitchen?
Mother looks at Father. ”The study is mine, so is the sunroom. You may have the kitchen and stillroom” Mother says.”Alright, but I might explode the kitchen during experiments,”Father says.
Mother hesitates. ”Well, as long as Dimitri isn't around and you repair it,” Mother agrees.
In the end, Dimitri hung out quietly in Mother's sash. Mother mostly levitated things out of boxes, not having to touch anything as she unpacked. By the time, Mother finished unpacking the bedroom, Grandfather summoned them to his study.
As Mother entered Grandfather's study, Dimitri turned rigid. Above the mantel, hung a painting.Stars, and a planet he saw in his dreams.
Who? Who else is here? Dimitri wiggles, struggling to get out of Mother's sash to see it better. ”He seems fussy. I should put him down” Mother says, bowing to Grandfather. No! I need to see! Who else remembers! As Mother steps out, Dimitri begins to scream as he hadn't before.
Go back! Mother go back! I need to see it! Mother! Mother! ”Shh darling, are you hungry? Sleepy?” Mother asks, rubbing his back. ”I should have laid you down for a nap before coming to see Father-in-law” Mother says. GO BACK! MOTHER!
