After Jennifer left, Lucien went toward the staircase for the way up when saw Kieran descending it. He was holding a tray in his hands and stopped.
"I gave tonic to Leia which Jennifer prepared for her," Kieran said. "Let's have lunch. Our cousins are waiting for us," he suggested. "Leia is sleeping for some time. You can't neglect the fact that our cousins are here too."
By then, a maid approached and took the tray from Kieran's hands before quietly walking away.
"Sure. Let's go," Lucien said, and the two brothers made their way toward the dining room.
As they stepped inside, the lively chatter of their cousins filled the space. At the table, Inara was already teasing her brother, her eyes sparkling with mischief.
"Travis, you've found a mate, haven't you?" she asked, her tone dripping with amusement.
"Shut up," Travis chuckled, lifting a spoonful of rice to his mouth as if the food were more interesting than his sister's prying.
