Today Galileo's heart ached. Again he had begun to ponder about his past while he tried to nap in his den. He had tried to ignore the thoughts of his family members, but the memories kept crawling back everytime he let his guard now. He remembered the horrid dream he had had of his sister not more than a month ago, when the eclipse took over the sun.
But right now it wasn't Audrey who pestered his thoughts. It was the phantom of his father that haunted his dreams and ruined the moment of peace he had been seeking for. After the whole drama with the Sunspire had died out, Galileo had found it hard to rest. The peppered male felt the need to patrol more often, now even the smallest sound would disturb his sleep.
And now it was no different. He rose hastily with his face contorted into a frown. There was no worse nightmare for Galileo than the image of his father. He was the reason the man had so desperately tried to get rid of his heritage. With his spirit dragging behind him, Galileo broke into a run, that without him planning to, led him to the Sveijarn home.
As he approached the sound of cooing and giggling reached his ears. The sound of youth was one Galileo couldn't help but smile at. Once at the entrance he sat slowly, his eyes trained on the little shadows that flashed past the door every now and then.
"Knock, knock", he barked softly, in case one of the parents was in.
