Return to your estate.

You {if Albina Companion = True}and Albina {elseif Adolphus Companion = True}and Adolphus {elseif Polyxena Companion = True}and Polyxena {endif}make your way down the long, dusty road in the afternoon sunlight, back to your villa. You're pleased to see on your return that nothing seems to have gone awry while you were gone - but then, Adolphus's family has been keeping the estate in order without direct supervision for years now. It should hardly be surprising that they're capable.

Dinner that night is less lavish than the night before, but still a hearty meal. {if Albina > 0}Albina smiles at you and makes small talk throughout the meal, and her parents seem to be in a relatively good mood as well.{elseif Albina = 0}Albina greets you courteously enough, but is quiet through dinner and still seems rather distant.{elseif Albina < 0}Albina still seems cold and distant, though.{endif} Once the meal is done, you retire to your room and do some light reading. When the moon rises, you begin to feel restless...you wonder if it's a good idea to wander out into the halls and see what's about.
