Draiss smiled, and nodded. "And I was getting your worries out of the way, so you could enjoy dinner without having to worry about it, and have all the time afterwards to relax. Your problem has been working after everything, so you go to bed tense and exhausted from it all, allowing yourself to become sick during it. So, now that we have the two big problems out of the way, lets relax, enjoy the meal, and simply revel in the fact that life is peaceful for the moment."<br/><br/>He glanced at Bastetta, but she was already hugging her grandfather, and Draiss stepped back, pulling the shadows slightly around him, disappearing and letting the Emperor have his peaceful time without him, just him, his daughter, and granddaughter. After a few moments, he glanced about, seeing if anyone had noticed him fading into the background, and if not, he slipped out of the room, giving them some privacy, heading for the nearby gardens. It would be nice to relax among nature for a while, he so rarely got time alone anymore.
