Oded jumped slightly as she spoke, "Yes i was wondering if you were hungry." He said staying where he was looking at her. "If you are the cook will gladly heat up your food and serve you in the dining room." He closed the lid over the keys on the piano kind of embarrassed that he was caught by someone outside the house playing the piano. He always tried to put up a mask that made him seem like a tough and intimidating person. He stood up but didn't approach her just in case, he didn't want to put her in a position that would make her uncomfortable.

She shook her head. "No I'm not hungry." she replied rubbing her eyes. "I actually was thinking about going back into bed and never waking up. I do have a killer head ache." Which she did to the point that the light from the room was hurting her.

Oded nodded and said, "There is aspirin in your bathroom but i expect you awake in the morning and dressed for school. You've already missed one day. I won't allow you to miss another." He sat back down at the piano lifting the lid and said, "I'll see you in the morning Christy. Sleep well."

"I'm allergic to asprin." she said looking at him. She had never been able to take it. "I would like some water." she continued to say looking at him, She hoped it would help with her hangover a bit. She had never had one but she never wanted another one again.

"Oh i didn't know that. Ok water." he said getting up and pulling the rope in the corner of the room. The butler came in and bowed, "Yes sir?" he said softly. "Would be so kind as to getting Mistress Whittle a glass of water please?" Oded asked him smiling softly. "Yes sir. I'll be back in a moment miss." He said bowing out to get her a glass of water. "He'll be back shortly with it." Oded said sitting back down at the piano. Sure enough two minutes later he came back with a glass of water and handed it to Christy. "Your water miss."

"I could have gotten it myself." she said to Oded after his butler had left. "I'm not completely incompetent." she said as he came back with the water. "Thank you." she said as she took it and drank deeply from it.

"Yes but more than likely you would have gotten lost trying to find your way back to your room. I never called you incompetent." He said as his fingers stroked the keys. He began playing the delicate notes of an Irish lullaby that he had heard once, the song could calm him no matter what he was feeling. When the song a new one began in it's place, it was a softer and more calming lullaby. This lullaby was of German origin and he didn't know if she had heard it but it didn't seem like he knew that it was what he was playing, until he got to the bridge of the song.

Christy had finished her water and sat down on the sofa in the room listening to him play. It wasn't until the german lullaby started being played that she started to grow sleepy. It was one her mother used to sing to her when she was little, and it being the only thing that could still put her into a sleep when played. Before she knew it she was fast asleep curled up on the couch like a cat.

Oded finished playing the lullaby smiling to himself, he was calm and could think reasonably. He looked over at Christy and saw her fast asleep on the couch. He went over to her picking her up carefully making sure he didn't wake her. Oded walked out of the living room and climbed the stairs easily with barely any effort on his part. He opened her door with his hand pushing the door open with his foot. Going to the bed he laid her down in it and pulled the duvet over her. He saw that her journal was still laying on the end table and he picked it up hoping to find the answers he was looking for. Oded didn't like doing this kind of thing but he had to know what she wasn't telling him.
