Payton peeked at the time and sighed softly. "Its going in nine." He smiled down at Alex. No nightmares. Sleeping next to Alex soothed him like no other. A single dim light was also left on for him so he wasn't feeling panicked in the dark. Payton peeked under the cloche and nodded at the smell of seasonings from his country. He didn't know if the staff of the king and queen were welcoming him, but someone was and he was delighted to see his favorite creamy chicken stew.<br/><br/>"Did you sleep well, Alex?" Payton closed the cloche. He would eat when Alex was ready to eat with him. He liked eating together with someone.
