To say it have been an eventful night was an understatement and a half. And even though everyone had made it home more or less in tact, sleep wasn't something that was readily come by once everyone was back. Ven had indeed flopped down in his bed again, only because staying up and lingering about in worry wouldn't do anyone any good. Still, he lay there awake and staring at his ceiling until who knew what hour. But at some point he HAD fallen asleep.

And slept right through his alarm, apparently. Usually he got up to eat breakfast with the others and head to work, but not today. Ventus woke with a start, and once he had registered what time it was, it was inevitable he wasn't going to be going to work on time. He sent Riku a message letting him know; he was sure that his 'boss' would understand, given the excuse.

Ven left his room, still in his clothes from last night, and peeked into the hall. No one was there. After checking the upstairs bedrooms, it was apparent everyone had left or was downstairs, so he crept headed that way. Once on the bottom floor, he could smell the remnants of breakfast in the air, which set his stomach growling. But instead of rushing, Ven walked slowly for the kitchen, peering slowly around the doorway to see who was in there.

Even though he doesn't say anything just yet, it would be difficult not to notice that mop of unruly blonde hair.
