Alexander Summers was awakened by her movements and looked up at her, "How do you feel?"
Purple Summers said, "A bit thirsty."
Alexander got up to pour water. As he tested the temperature, he also took a big gulp himself. The chaos from last night kept his nerves on edge, and he hadn't drunk any water.
After drinking the water, Purple Summers asked about the time. Alexander replied that it had just passed seven o'clock.
He opened the curtains a bit more. The winter sun rose late; at this time, the sky was still a dull grey.
Purple observed for a while then asked, "When can we go see the children?"
Alexander was momentarily stunned and countered, "Do we need to go see them? Aren't they going to bring them to us?"
Purple Summers: "..."
