The rude sun began to encroach upon the tranquil scene. The small beam began on the floor directly before the window, but soon began to stretch across the floor. Like some creeping vine, the light coiled up the foot of the bed and soon came to rest on Erik's eye. He turned to avoid the cruel light, wrapping his arm about the woman sharing his bed, taking refuge from the outside world that was trying to break this perfect scene. He slept so much better these days, much better then before. Sometimes it was true, it was the activity before sleep that made it deep, but also it was the comfort he drew from Clio's very presence.
He sighed as he opened his eyes, knowing this struggle was for nothing. He quietly slipped from their bed and into the washroom. He bathed quickly and dressed quicker. He knew this would be an interesting meeting, one long over due. He slipped out, leaving her to sleep on as she often did. Her work was mostly at night, and the mornings until mid-day was where she rested.
Stopping in his office he took some papers he would need, checking some of the reports on his desk, nothing drastic it seemed. The world over all had grown calm in the last few weeks. Not something that would last he knew, it never did, but he would enjoy the peace none the less.
It was then he took his leave of Sable Hall, heading into the city. Fury was his companion in the trip, the crimson bird had exited the stable of its own accord as he saw Erik exit the building. On the back of the chocobo, the trip was short. He dismounted and motioned for Fury to take a place in the stables, as he would take his in the Palace. He looked up to see the grand building before entering, never tiring of its grandeur. Tapping the seal of his sigil ring, Erik became enveloped momentarily in light, reviling the armor of a Sultansworn as he entered the Palace.
