Helena received news that Axton would soon be home from his business, it might be a while if Helena waited. This news had been a long time coming and Helena had been waiting almost two hours, but Axton hadn't shown the bridge of his nose at all.

It was getting late at night, Helena was getting more and more worried that something might happen to Axton. Due to her uneasiness, she got up from her seat and headed for a room where in every corner was a birdcage. Helena called one of the doves and gave it a leaf with scratches from wood as an indirect communication signal. At least if there was a reply that Axton was fine now, it would give Helena some relief. 

"What is the problem?" asked Lolita while carrying a tray-like object from a thick board with a glass engraved like a bowl filled with water. "Don't worry, it's like you don't know what Axton is like, and how strong he is, why are you so worried?" continued Lolita again.
