Rose hadn't exactly been sleeping. More like fighting waking up and the soft sounds on the door dragged him from bed. He had technically been awake. He looked at him as he saw the light shade of color taint Varian's cheeks. Still blinking away sleep that didn't want to leave him. At least his eyes were focusing now on the here and now. Not off in la la land still. He looked at him. Waiting for him to answer. He wondered at the soft gaze in Varian's eyes because as far as he could remember...the man had a distant almost dark look towards him. Not dark as in evil but dark as in controlling. He didn't know why he almost detected a hint of guiltiness to the look in Varian's eyes. Must be a figment of his imagination...or something. He was thinking it was. "I was somewhat awake already." He offered lightly. Blinking at the head patting once it registered. "Have a good trip." He said softly. Smiling a bit as he mentioned the party. "It'll be fun and Damian is going to help as is Sasha. I'm sure I'll get a lot of planning done." He looked at his soft smile. There seemed sadness and he didn't know why. Taking the phone he looked at him. "Alright but I don't think there will be." He said softly. Looking at the phone and merely shook his head. Looking at him again. "Where are you going? It seems rather sudden this trip of yours. Unless it has been planned for a long time." He said softly. "If you can't tell me I'll understand it was just something that was confusing me. It was curious is all."
