Lagg found the book that Archon described. He took it off the shelf and looked over at Archon, noticing that he was getting sleepy. "You go on to bed, I'll be fine!" reasurred Lagg.

"Are you sure? I mean... OK, I can't refuse that." Archon promptly bounded off the couch and towards the stairway. "I've been waiting to go to bed for forever and a half now! I don't really like getting woken up in the middle of the night, you know... Annoying..."

"Sorry!" apologized Lagg as he waited for Archon to get up the steps. He then flipped through the pages of the book, and came across a name, his name. He then saw two other names next to them, his mom and dad. "So...I am from here..." said Lagg quietly, his eyes started to build up tears. After reading a little about his parents, he fell asleep. With the book upside down on his chest.

Archon was the first to wake up, just as the first few rays of sunshine began to cast illumination through the house. Using the dawn illumination in place of his lamp that he'd left downstairs, the mouse headed down to the living room and called out to wake Laggerung up. "Hey! You like reading that census? ...You find who you wanted to find with it?"

Lagg woke up with a startle. Drool, had run down his face some point in the night, which he in turn wiped off. It took him a while to figure out what Archon said, but he then looked down at the book he forgot to put back up. "Oh ya...!" said Lagg tiredly. He stretched, and got off the couch. "Is Linx still asleep?" asked Lagg.

"Uh, yeah, he is... I left him pretty sleepy," Archon responded with a coy smile. He knew exactly how to do that for his mate. "We're the only ones awake right now. You want me to get you some breakfast or what?"

Lagg looked at Archon puzzlingly. Confused on what Archon meant by, 'left him'. "Sure...what do you have?" asked Lagg.

"Pretty much anything you can think of. How about some rolls? You like rolls? We have too many rolls right now!" Archon was already heading off to the kitchen and beckoning for Laggerung to follow. "C'mon, there aren't any rolls out there!..."

Lagg followed behind, hoping to not keep Archon from going to his bad mood. "Ya, I like rolls! Do you have October Ale?" asked Lagg. "I could use some of that."

"We don't even keep any alcohol in this house," Archon replied with a laugh at how ridiculous that idea was. Something that was known to destroy your brain was supposed to be for breakfast? Teetotaling was mandatory within the house. "Well, except for the distilled alcohol used as a medical disinfectant. Really, though, if less beasts drank ale, everyone would be happier."

"True, but I always loved Redwall's October Ale, and their food!" reminised Lagg. "Oh, by the way if I don't get a chance to see Linx anytime before I leave. Tell him thanks for letting me stay, k?" asked Lagg. "I said I was just going to stay for that night, so I thought that I should head out as early as I can."

"Well, have fun with going... Wherever you're gonna go," Archon muttered. He didn't like the idea of Laggerung just heading off to wherever, but he wasn't one to complain. Heading into the kitchen to fetch some of the food he'd put a glass lid over to protect throughout the night, the mouse moved it over to beside the stove to warm it up. "Do you, um... Well... Sorry about the no ale part. It tastes good, if you're used to alcohol, I guess, but it's just so destructive... I can't believe the Redwallers drink it. How can such good beasts succumb to a vice like that?"

"It's ok, I'm not a crazed fan of it, but it's still good to drink. And about the Redwallers, they don't drink it all the time, just during big feasts." explained Lagg. "But what were you going to say, you seemed to have changed the subject just then." said Lagg with a smirk.

"I wasn't going to say anything else," Archon replied blithely as he turned to face Lagg, letting the plate heat up by itself. "But... I gotta ask... Good to drink? OK, why is something that, according to necrotic experiments carried out all over the continent, destroys parts of your body the more you drink it good to drink? Is it good to cut yourself, too, now?"

"Well, I meant it tastes good. I know it's bad..." said Lagg, with a hint of guilt in his voice. "I just assumed that what all of the grown ups would drink, and so I just went along with it. And eventually my taste buds got used to the taste."
