During all of this, a fully awake Sakura stayed wrapped around Charles simply waiting for him to wake. She didn't need anything nor did she really want anything, so she'd fall back on her favorite passtime, observing. In this case, the sleeping lad was her primary target, but it wasn't as if her senses were dulled at all. She could sense a few of her parents still around. She knew that all of them were awake though not in the same place as each other. She wondered if her elf-father was having a good time with his new student. She wondered why her demon father was just sitting alone in the throne room. And she knew her mother had been busy testing magic and studying all the things that were interesting to her. As far as Sakura understood it, though it'd started off pretty exciting, the day had lulled quite a bit.
In the meantime, Miwa wandered out of her studies stretching and back to her normal size. She knew those still within the palace were likely resting or sleeping. She figured her guests had been through quite a bit and as such would be pretty far off in waking. That in particular applied to the young elafia who for all intents and purposes was probably comatose. So then where would she go? Was she to interrupt a sleeping Anais to have a conversation with Ailen? Well, he'd be the most likely to be excited about her discoveries. Was she to check on Sakura and Charles? Well... he seemed like he wouldn't enjoy an audience and she didn't want to influence their morning. She could switch to one of the other wings, get a change of pace in the scenery and see what else she could come up with while waiting for everyone else to wake. Yes, that seemed like a good idea. So she would take a casual walk, all the while studying that glowing ball of magic she used to take the form of a Source.
Ah, but it wasn't the case that Anais was still fully sleeping. In fact, she'd been approaching wakefulness some 16 hours later with a strange amount of intensity. It'd been her entire two lives since she'd slept so soundly, so when she finally woke she wasn't sure of her current state of existence. She'd begin her life softly rubbing her still closed eyes with balled up fists and wiggling bare hips as she began to stretch. Ah, but it felt like she'd been out quite a long time, a sense of urgency came to her as well as panic. "Oh shit. I'm late for school!" she sat up quickly then blinked. Oh... right that wasn't right. She collapsed again and sighed. "No. That's not right. I haven't done that in ages... I might have slept too soundly. I forgot where I was..." she said settling back down as if that made sense. Of course it didn't but maybe she'd feel better when she reordered her brain. And remembered there was a man naked beside her in bed.
