Hiroshi sat up, rubbing his eyes. The poor boy had had a bad night, he woke up every few hours only to toss and turn for another half hour before going back to sleep. He hadn't even needed to use the bathroom whenever he woke up either, it was just his body making him wake up for no reason other than to bother him. At least this time it had woken him up from a nightmare, so that was the only good time he's woken up.

As he heard Tanjiro about to come in to help him get ready for the day, he pouted, rubbing his eyes again. "I can't sleep more..."He whined a bit but knew he had to get out of bed anyway. So, he got up, as much as he didn't want to.

Tanjiro opened the door and smiled a bit, "A bit surprised to see you up before I come in here. Did you wake up to use the bathroom??" He said as he came in to help Hiroshi get ready for the day.

Hiroshi shook his head, "Had a bad dream..." He said as he yawned, not caring about acting 'princely' right now. Then again, he never really put on the 'mask' around Tanjiro anyway. He never made Hiroshi feel like he had to.

"I see..."Tanjiro said, "Well, I'll tell the kitchens to send up your favorite treat with breakfast, will that help?? Or do you wanna talk about it??"

Hiroshi looked down as Tanjiro fixed his hair, "...." He could only remember bits and pieces of the nightmare now. He knew it revolved around his father, grandmother, and his mother... "No. Just a treat, please."

"Right, Hiroshi.''Tanjiro said, knowing how the young Prince could be. He would talk about it if he felt like it. "Are you ready for lessons today?"

"Can I just have English..?"

This made Tanjiro chuckle, "You need your other lessons too."

"No fair.."

"At least today is the last lesson of the week."

Nao did have to translate that, of course, but she was excited too. The Prince was a fast learner.

Before class would end, Cassidy did ask Hiroshi one more thing, cause she had an idea. ""
