Sarah smiled as the children took to the dessert happily, and acted as though she didn't notice the pause before Elliot answered her. "Of course." She agreed, that was an easy request and she could quickly make a few types in the morning. "Not at all. It is nice to see the house so busy." She assured him. It was a bit hard being the only one here to tend to them, but since she knew that Callan wouldn't be upset if some of the cleaning was left until after their departure she wasn't feeling the least bit overwhelmed.<br/><br/>Callan, on the other hand, returned to his office and began to dig into his work, mulling over their dinner and deciding that it would probably be best to not bring up the matter again while Elliot's family was here. He found himself wondering just how much Elliot actually had agreed to before all of this... Had he really been informed? He didn't feel like it, and yet here they were... How was that fair? Even though the human complained, Callan just couldn't accept that he could be okay with it all.<br/><br/><br/>The following days Callan was scarce, though it wasn't merely to avoid the situation. It seemed as though the moment he had caught up on his work his family decided to interfere, once more trying to undermine his business as though trying to force him into relying on them... Didn't they realize that Cal could tell it was their interference immediately? He wasn't a fool. But putting out the fires and fixing things took time, and so he worked from evening to well into the morning, some days merely napping on the couch in his office rather than returning to his room so that he could get some work done during the hours where the other vampires would be asleep. It wasn't pleasant, but it was necessary, and eventually, he was able to slowly bring things back within his control... But it was taxing, and he was hungry... But he could manage until things were truly stable before leaving to feed he was sure.
