Edward told luna he needed to discuss a business trip he needed her to take. he was up in his room resting as he had been most of the week. he had a few items of great value that needed to be retrieved and he was in no shape to travel unless absolutely necessary.but he was dying to test out the new Learjet 85 that was sitting in his private hanger at the airport. the prototype had arrived only 3 days before. he knew she would be more than willing to go since it was a trip to india.

Artemys walked into the bedroom and smiled as she saw Edward staring off into space, "Pleasant thoughts, love?" she asked him, as she sat next to him on the bed. He had been restless the last few days, not being able to move about like he was used to. Art was trying her best to comfort him in his vulnerable state, but sometimes when he was in a certain mood he could be pretty ornery.

Looking up at the bedroom ceiling Artemys noticed that he'd opened up the roof to let the light in. It was one of herfavourite things to do each morning, look up into the sky and wish she could truly fly, but only with this man by her side.

Turning back towards him, Art asked, grinning mischieviously, "So what is your plan today, to make me put you back to bed?"

Edward smiled when Artemy entered the room. she always made him feel better just with her presence.

"yes my love, but unfortunately i have to leave town for a day or two" he said as he layed his hand on Artemys leg. he knew she would fight him about the trip. he was not in any shape to fly but the curator of the British museum insisted that he be the one to pick up the item of interest.

"i have to go to Britain to pick something up at the british museum and i'd like it if you joined me" he wanted her to go of coarse and he knew it would make her more likely to let him go.

"i have the private jet waiting to leave first thing in the morning, the flight has been cleared by the airport" he said as he sat up and turned more towards Artemys.

Luna was walking around the house looking for where she could find Edward, it was so much harder than getting to his balcony. The home was so big and she hadn't been around long enough to check it out better, so now she was just relying on her sense of smell. She started to whistle a random tune as she walked down the corridors, taking a deep breath every now and then. Stopping in front of the door she grew quiet and knocked, she would have just walked right on in but she could tell that Artemys was in there too and she didn't want to seem rude.

Art smiled at Edward, "Of course you'd find a way to get out of bed, and not have me remonstrate you," she laughed giving him a quick kiss on the cheek.

Hearing a knock on the door, Art called to Luna into the bedroom. "Welcome my dear, I'm glad to finally get to meet you properly," Art said, as she gave Luna a hug.

" Come sit with us dear, Edward was just telling me about something interesting he plans to do," Artemys said, as she sat back down next to Edward.

Luna smiled as she returned the hug and entered the room, she went to Edward and gave him a gentle hug before moving back. She spotted a comfortable chair and sat down in it, folding her hands in her lap. "Tell me of this wonderful business trip I get to partake on." she said. She was really quite curious as to what she would get to do, she hadn't been given details on it yet so she was ready to know. Having already explored the town Luna was ready to get right to work.

Edward smiled. he was happy to see Luna and Artemys getting along. "it's nice to see you my dear" he said to luna as she sat down. he had been waiting some time to go out of town on these errands but he had been putting them off. but he couldnt any longer or their would be complications.

"well my dear your heading home to india" he said with a smile. he knew she would be happy to go home for a bit.

"i have a few important artifacts that you will be picking up from the India National Museum in New Delhi as well as an item from Kándla" he said as he sat up and turned to grab a large manila envelope from the night stand.

"afterwards you will be heading to Mangalore, everything is spelled out here" he said as he held out the envelope for luna.

"the jet is waiting for you to leave as soon as you are ready, that is if your intrested" he said as he set his hand on artemys lap.

"as for us my dear after our trip to britain we will come back here to drop our cargo off before leaving again for bora bora for our honeymoon" he said with a smile as he leaned over and gave her a kiss.

"no discussion about my condition i will be fine" he said smiling at her knowing she would argue but inevitably give in.

Luna smiled as she took the envelope from Edward "I would love to do this for you. A trip home would be a nice thing." she said as she placed the envelope in her lap, she would open it later. She planned on leaving as soon as possible too. Standing up she gave the married couple a smile "As much as I would love to stay and chat I think I shall go pack and get ready for this trip." she said. The thought of going home for a bit even if it was to get something seemed great to her.

"i thought you might enjoy the trip" he said with a smile. he had planned so she would even have time between flights to enjoy herself.

"go ahead and pack you have a long flight ahead of you" he said sending her a warm smile. he knew that all of them would be gone for some time and he had to find someone to look after the mansion. he then turned to artemys.

"we need to figure out what were going to do about the mansion while were gone" he said

"Well, we can't really close it down, can we?" Art said as she laid down next to Edward. There was just to many people who depended on the facilities here at the mansion that it would devastate them to lose it, for even a short period of time.

"How about leaving it with Alex and her Hunters?" Art said, and before he could object, she added, "it would give her a chance to feel like the pack and her can prove themselves." Artemys had thought about this a bit when Edward had first mentioned the trip. There was a lot of responsibility in ensuring that the mansion was secure, and so far Alex and the Hunters were doing a great job with security detail.

"We could also leave Anat and Alaina in charge of the overall working details, and the twins too," Art thought aloud, as she looked back over at Edward, waiting for him to add his input on the situation.
