Victor and Mr. Vincenzi looked up from their plates as Ferris began to devour his breakfast and their dark eyebrows rose just very slightly, rather surprised that such a skinny English boy could eat so much so quickly. It took them a little longer, but about twelve minutes later they were all done, their plates left empty. Costa, as usual, arrived as soon as they showed any intentions of leaving and took the empty plates with her. The two of them then got up to their feet in unison. "I'll see you again this afternoon, boy," said Mr. Vincenzi, giving Ferris a friendly smile. "Don't get into too much trouble," he added, the way he would usually tell Vince and Victor when he was leaving for work each morning; except this time his oldest son was coming with him. The two then went off to the living room, and a couple seconds later, they had disappeared in the green flames of the fireplace.

Ferris said a polite, "Goodbye," to Victor and Mr. Vincenzi as they left, and couldn't help but feel a little pressure relieved off him that he didn't know whe was carrying. He finished his plate of fruit before getting up from his seat and also heading into the living room a few minutes after they'd left. He took a seat in the armchair he was in earlier and took his sketchpad back into his hands, vaguely wondering where Vianna was that morning, before he started to sketch once more.

About thirty or forty more minutes passed before there was movement in the house again. There were voices upstairs once more, and soon enough there was the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs. First came Mrs. Vincenzi, changed into a long white summer dress and her long, brown hair hanging loosely around her shoulders, curled at the ends. After her came a very sleepy Vince, whining about something in Italian to his mother, and after them came Vianna yawning, still in her pajamas and clearly just waking up then.

Mrs. Vincenzi disappeared into the kitchen, where she was followed by Vince still going on about something, and as Vianna was on her way to the kitchen as well, she caught sight of Ferris out in the living room sitting in an armchair near the windows. At this, the girl beamed. "Professor!" she called out before changing her route and heading in his direction instead.

OOC: I'm off for now Dee! Byyyeeeeee!

Ferris turned his head each time someone came down the stairs just to check if it was Vianna. Once, nope. Twice, no, again. And he didn't even bother the third time, continuing to sketch until he heard a 'Professor!' from somewhere behind him. He whipped around to see Vianna coming towards him in her pajamas, a warm smile falling onto his expression, "Good morning Vi," the boy said, inviting her over to sit next to him in the large armchair.

ooc: Byeeeeee, Ruthers!

Vianna grinned as Ferris turned to greet her and invited her over. "You're up early!" she said, as more of an accusation than a statement as she sat down beside the boy. "What happened to 'the second you wake up, come wake me'? Hmm?" she asked raising an eyebrow slightly at him though there was an amused smile on her young face. It was still incredibly early, just fifteen minutes past seven, and she hadn't expected the boy to wake up so much earlier than her.

Ferris grinned as Vianna came over to him, mentioning how early he was up before reminding him of his statement from the night before. "I dunno, I just got a really good rest, I guess," the boy explained with a shrug, though his brown eyes only seemed to be sparkling because of her presence and not so much because of his words. He set the sketchpad down on the table (Vianna's face now three quarters of the way drawn in) and stood up to stand in front of her with a warm smile. "I already ate breakfast, too," he told her, "Aren't you proud of your lazy Professor?"

OOC: Only on for a few minutes....

Vianna listened as Ferris explained he had gotten a really good rest before he then got up to his feet and stood before her sharing that he had eaten his breakfast too, then asking her if she was proud of her lazy Professor. She giggled lightly at that last question. "I'm very proud, yes," she said, nodding her head. "But! There's only one thing missing... did you take your medicine?" she asked, raising an eyebrow slightly, her smile turning teasing.

ooc: Aw alright!

Ned Hall watched himself in the mirror, as he smeared shaving cream across his chin, making sure to evenly coat his dark skin, until his chin was replaced by a foamy white beard. Ned picked up the razor and exhaled deeply before shaving his chin with the sharp blade. The Slytherin had been woken by his own unsettling dreams this morning and was still feeling shaky, he hadn't had a normal nights sleep since his captivity and no matter what he did before bed, he couldn't get rid of his nightmares.

The Slytherin washed off the remaining cream from his face and gave himself one last look over, before walking out of the bathroom and making hs way to the kitchen.

Airlia had woken up earlier that morning and was already dressed, she hadn't gone down for breakfast yet, she had gotten rather carried away with a very old novel that she'd retrieved from the Vincenzi's Library, it was lovely and dark and she could hardly pry herself away.

The young girl bit her lip and closed the book with a satisfying thud, before standing up and looking at her reflection. She was plainly dressed today, wearing dark green shorts, a round neck, white t-shirt and white flats with a small bow on the top. Airi smoothed out her dark hair and re-adjusted her white headband. She smiled lightly at herself, Airlia had felt quite cheerful since they'd gone to the Italian Ministry, she felt very hopeful and honestly believed that they would catch Perry.

She walked out of her room and made her way down into the kitchen saying hello, to Ned as they met on the way there. They walked together, speaking to one another in friendly voices.

"Hello all," Ned said, displaying his quiet charm without even trying, Ned assisted Airlia into her chair and took a seat across from Ferris. "And how is everyone today, hmm?" Ned asked, conversationally.

"Good morning," Airi said, smiling at the others and happily taking the seat offered to her by Ned.

"No--I'd forgotten until now," the boy admitted to Vianna just before Ned and Airlia walked into the room, taking their seats and greeting them. "Good morning," Ferris said with a small smile, looking over at Airlia before his brown eyes roamed to Ned as he heard him ask how he was. "I'm doing very well as of recent, Ned, how about you?" he asked politely, returning to his seat and gesturing for Vianna to join him as it was an awfully big seat that could fit two or three people, almost a loveseat.

Vianna chuckled softly as Ferris mentioned he had forgotten his medicine before Ned and Airlia came down, joining them. The girl grinned at the sight of them and greeted them with a friendly "Good morning!" Vianna then turned to Ferris as he gestured her to sit, and she sat down... even though she had already been sitting. xD

"Oh good, you're all up early today!" said Mrs. Vincenzi as she walked out of the kitchen, followed by Vince who was taking a bite from a large sandwich in his hands, his hair still messy and his pajamas wrinkled as he had only woken up a few moments ago. "You all slept well, I hope?" she said, turning to Ned and Airlia with a polite smile before addressing the group overall once more, "I'm heading out to town now, but I'll be back soon. If you go out, don't wander too far from the house, and try to stay together - no one wander off by themselves, alright?" she told the kids before giving them one last cheery smile and heading out to the foyer, then out the house.

Vince watched his mother go and turned to the others. "So how're you guys feeling about the kidnappers, eh?" he asked, turning his gaze to Ned and Airlia, who he felt he hadn't heard from in a while.

OOC: Whoops!

Ferris smiled as Vianna joined his side and gently wrapped an arm around her waist, listening to Mrs. Vincenzi's words silently before watching as Vince began to speak with Ned and Airlia. Now feeling as if it wouldn't be rude to speak privately to his girlfriend, the boy spoke, "So...I showed your mum my sketches this morning," he confessed softly to her ear with a hesitant smile, his dimples just barely peeking out on his cheeks.

Vianna's blue eyes were on her brother and the two newcomers before Ferris spoke, sharing with her that he had shown her mother his sketches. At this, the girl's smile widened to a grin and her eyebrows rose in surprise. "You did?!" she asked, turning to him with slightly widened eyes. "How did that happen?" she asked, honestly surprised by this.

Ferris let out a soft chuckle as Vianna spoke, expressing her surprise before asking how that had happened. "I dunno, I was just down here sketching and she noticed and I asked if she wanted to see them...And she did," he explained softly with a weak smile and a shrug. "It was rather embarrassing, actually, considering the fact that most of my sketches are of you...She noticed," he said with a soft chuckle. "But...she liked this one..." he opened his sketchpad and showed Vianna the picture her mother had liked best. "And she asked me to make a painting out of it."

Vianna listened as Ferris explained to her how this had all happened and chuckled softly, her mother had always been a curious one - she seemed not to notice she had inherited this trait from her, though. But what amused the young girl even more, was when Ferris mentioned that most of his sketches were of her and of course, her mother noticed this. She giggled lightly at this and her eyes left Ferris's to look down at the drawing he was now showing her, the one her mother had liked best and wanted him to turn into a painting. At that request, Vianna's eyes widened. "A painting?!" she asked, looking up at Ferris again. "Are you going to do it?" she asked; she had never seen the boy actually paint before and didn't want him to feel forced to do something he didn't want only because her mother requested it.

Ferris smiled slightly as Vianna let out her surprise at the idea of a painting before asking if he was going to do it. "Well...Yeah, I told her that I'd try," he said with a small smile, his brown eyes amused as he watched the girl before him. "I haven't painted that much before, I mean, a couple times when mum's encouraged it, but...Nothing really serious. So I told her that I wasn't sure how well I'd do," he explained, his smile widening. "But...Your face is the easiest thing for me to artistically draw, so hopefully I can paint it as well."

Vianna listened as Ferris explained to her that he would try, that he hadn't painted much before, but since her face was the easiest thing for him to draw, he could hopefully paint it as well. The young girl grinned at this, but then her brows furrowed slightly. "Wait, does this mean I have to pose, or are you just going to copy the drawing straight from your sketchbook?" she asked him.

"I dunno yet, Vi," Ferris replied as she asked if she had to pose or if he was just going to copy it from the picture. "I was thinking I'd just copy it, as I'm sure you don't just want to stand there smiling. However...It would be nice to have you there with me, just to keep me company," he added with a warm smile, his brown eyes admiring her for a moment before they scanned the rest of the room which seemed to be in conversation with Vince. "Do you want to get out of here?" he asked a little more quietly, wondering if she wanted to go outside and wander a bit.

Vianna smiled as Ferris shared he could copy it from his sketchbook, but he would still like her company around. "Of course I'll keep you company, Professor," she assured him, the smile bright on her young face. "You seem to forget you have a girlfriend who has trouble staying away from you too long," she added playfully before nodding her head as he suggested they go somewhere. "But first, you have to take your medicine!" she added as she remembered this, jumping up to her feet and beginning to lead the way out of the living room, dragging Ferris along.

Ferris couldn't help but smile as Vianna spoke, assuring him that she'd keep him company before reminding him that he had a girlfriend that had a hard time staying away from him. He leaned forward and kissed her cheek before they stood up and she told him he needed to take his medicine before they went anywhere. "Alright, alright," the boy said with a warm smile, quickly summoning down his medicine from up in his guest bedroom. He set it on the kitchen counter before summoning a glass of water and taking one of the rather large pills that the doctor required for his back. Luckily for the boy, his back actually seemed to be healing. Granted, there were still a few bruises, but it was most definitely healing.

"How's your back been feeling lately?" Vianna asked once Ferris took his medicine, before beginning to lead the way out of the house and out to the brightly lit scenery outside. "Is it getting better or do we need to visit the doctor again?" she asked, her blue eyes slightly squinted and her smile somewhat teasing; she knew how much Ferris hated visiting the doctor.

"It hasn't been that bad lately, actually," the boy replied with a small smile as they walked outside, turning to Vianna as she asked if they'd have to go to the doctor's again. "A doctor won't be necessary," Ferris replied with an amused smile, slipping his arms around her from behind as they stopped out on the shore. He pulled her into him with a warm smile, "Where should we go today, Vi?"

Vianna chuckled softly as Ferris assured her they wouldn't need to see the doctor again before then asking where they would be going this time. "Well, we can't really leave home 'til my mum gets back," she replied with a sigh. "Y'know, with everything that's happened with the kidnappers and all, my parents are a little reluctant to let us wander off too far on our own," she said. "But when she gets back we could head to town, if you'd like," she suggested with a shrug. "Is there anything specific you wanted to see?" she asked, turning back to the boy standing behind her.

Ferris listened as Vianna explained that they weren't really supposed to go anywhere until her mother returned, as her parents weren't too happy with the idea of the kids running off into town. "Well, I'd like to see more of the town," the boy admitted with a small smile as she turned around to see him. "But, actually, I meant where could we go out here? Do you have any nice trees we could hang out under maybe?"

Vianna's eyebrows rose slightly with realization as Ferris asked where they could go around the house, not necessarily leaving home. "Ohh, well..." She looked around. Hanging under trees wasn't something she really did very often before meeting Ferris, and she hadn't really realized that there weren't that many trees around her home until now. "Oh! There's one, actually. A very large one," said Vianna, taking Ferris's hand and beginning to lead the way away from the ocean, toward the back of the house where the view turned from being a beach to endless miles of tall grass. "Dad built us a little treehouse in it when were little, but obviously we haven't been there in ages. I don't think we even fit in there anymore," she said with a soft chuckle.

Ferris smiled as Vianna realized that they did have a rather large tree, explaining that their father had made a treehouse for them in it when they were younger, though they hadn't been in it in ages. "Wow, must be a pretty big tree," he said, following after her with his fingers intwined with her own. His brown eyes scanned the tall green grass that surrounded her home with a warm smile, he was rather fond of nice grass like that and was happy to see it.
