After breakfast, Ned had gone back upstairs and had taken a much needed nap. Ned had fallen asleep as soon as his head had hit the pillow, so heavy was his sleep that he didn't notice Airi slipping in and out of his room in search of Victor.

Ned got a good half hours' worth of sleep, he woke up feeling drowsy and better rested, The young man changed out of his white shirt and into another that looked exactly the same except that it was maroon. He hastened down the hallway and through the kitchen in search of the others. "Hey! Where is everyone?" Ned called out, grinning sardonically as he passed through each room of the house, he just happened to look out the window and saw to figures', sitting side by side in the shade of a very old tree.

Ned smiled at this and quickly made his way toward the couple. At first, Ned had thought it to be Airi and Victor, or maybe Kayla and her brother, but as he approached he realized it was Vianna and Ferris. Ned slowed his progress as this fact came to his attention, but decided to speak with them anyway.

"Howdy there!" Ned exclaimed, calmly waving his hand in the air and jogging lightly to them. Ned stopped as he reached within a couple of feet from them and shoved his hands into his light blue, linen pants. "Mind if I join you?" Ned asked, his face the most sincere mask of friendly cheer, though his insides were beginning to bubble with jealousy.
