For Laharl, while the lack of sleep was annoying, it was the dreams that were getting to him far more.

As for Vyers' question - Laharl could only shrug. "I don't really care... whatever you and mom decide."

He wanted to remain living with his parents, even if having to be around his father on a daily basis could be more than a little trying. Staying here had been about protecting his mother and, well, it still was, but... there was more to it than that now. It had turned into something that Laharl found himself liking deep down, though he'd, like so many other things, never admit to it, of course.
