Lana and Lucas were thrilled when Alain joined in their silliness only to redouble their efforts to outdo the others. The ability to keep their giggles silent growing harder even as Lucas started a small food fight under the table tossing a piece of his bread under the table, knowing the scolding they would get if Grandmother Violet would give if she saw.<br/><br/>It was clear to Niko that Arenor had thoughts on Vincent and yet he didn't want to press him. It would only sour his mood since he thought of Vincent as a dear and close friend, well his only friend. The man had been by his side since they were youths.<br/><br/>In the end though he simply set his fork down really not interested in food, too tense about bringing Arenor before the council. Nikolas made a point to not look at Violet knowing his other would be disapproving. She typically fussed her ate too little.<br/><br/>Uniquely colored eyes turned around the table and narrowed at the children which Lana caught and instantly froze slowly putting her piece of bread down, only to get a bit of egg to in on her cheek making her gasp and Niko pushed his seat back to stand resting his hand on the table and she stared the twins down as they both gave him sheepish smiles. "It would see everyone is done," he drawled rather unimpressed.<br/><br/>Violet sighed but lifted her juice to hide her smile. Once she had control she set it down and stood as well. "I will only let it slide this morning, now come little lambs, if your too busy tossing food your ready to get to lessons," she said raising a brow as the twins groaned but got up anyway, Lana stopping to reach a small hand to Alain for him to take and walk with her.<br/><br/>Nikolas only smiled when all three children weren't looking, shaking his head a little at their silliness. Clearing his throat he smoothed his sides to his hips as he stepped from the table looking at Arenor. "Shall we," he asked softly as Violet watched the children in the hall waiting from them at the open door, giggles of children filtered through the hall. Waiting for the men to walk them to Lady Violet's suite for their lessons to start.
