I was relieved that Duke didn't probe further into where Aldus was and why I'm taking over the tests related to his wolf.

I decided to tell Duke that Aldus is in eternal sleep, but I needed to figure out the right way to say it. I didn't want to have secrets from Duke, but I didn't want to make him feel guilty about it.

Ah, I also needed to figure out how to tell Duke about my newfound hunger for blood (aka vitality).

I was not sure about the rate at which I should dump all this on him. 

As a stress-reliever, I gave Duke a tour of the mansion, and he was interested in the sunroom.

"You said that this is your favorite spot in the house, and now I know why.", Duke said while admiring the mosaics that were made by stained glass. The sun hit the glass panels, making the colors bounce on the floor and plants, and it made the place magical.
