After arriving home, Doulos Hayworth spent some quality time chatting with his family into the night. They told him all the stories he missed while he was out being the protector of the Empire.
His youngest sister's birthday party, his little twin siblings' studies, his mother's tea parties, his father's business ventures, all sorts of things that Daniel's family had been doing while he was gone. The boy was extremely glad to hear all about them.
They talked and talked until the children began to yawn with tiredness. It was the cue for them to end their story-telling session and continue it another time.
"Alright, it's time for bed! Let's go, children!" called the mother.
"But. mother!" cried the twins. "We still have a lot to tell Daniel!"
"Mario, Marie, you two have lessons early in the morning." said the father. "You said you wanted to be just like your brother, right? Well, you won't be like him if you start skipping on your studies."
