Chapter 62 - Table Talk

They both chuckled as they lay in bed.

"That was amazing," Jenny said just before they heard a knock at the door.

Nathan got out of bed to see who it was, to his surprise it was Mason.

"Mason, can I help you?" Nathan said closing the door further.

"Well, I noticed you were upset by my brother's death. I was hoping we could talk about him," Mason suggested.

"Urrm, now is not a good time," Nathan said and tried to close the door.

Mason slammed his hand on the door stopping him. 

"Sorry, but I did not know him. I just want to know the kind of man my brother was," Mason explained.

"Fine, I'll meet you downstairs in an hour," Nathan said and closed the door. 

As he walked back to the bed, he saw Jenny getting out of the bathroom. He stared at her with his mouth slightly apart.

"What?" she asked.

"I thought, never mind," Nathan said, and went into the bathroom.

"Who was at the door?" Jenny asked.

"Mason," he yelled from the bathroom.

She asked what he wanted and they kept yelling at each other as they had a conversation from different rooms.

Nathan finished taking his bath, got dressed, and waited for Jenny to finish getting ready. When they were both done, they went down to meet Mason having breakfast.

They both joined him and Nathan asked for an orange juice. Minutes later, a help walked out with toasts, a couple of pancakes, some sunny-side-up, and sausages.

Jenny and Nathan took a couple from the serving plate.

"You wanted to talk?" Nathan asked as he ate.

"Yes, just anything you can tell me about him," Mason replied.

"He worked for us for years but everyone saw him as family," Nathan said.

"He worked for you? Of course," Mason said and chuckled as he shook his head.

"Did he tell you anything about our family?" Mason asked.

"No, not really," Nathan replied.

"So you did not know he was a twin?" Mason asked. 

"Yes, didn't even know he was a... what did you call it? Gemini witch?" Nathan asked.

"Okay, no beating about the bush. Where is the philosopher's stone?" Mason asked.

Nathan and Jenny looked at him with a frown.
