Kyle shifted, slowly waking up. He could hear the chorus of thoughts from the servants, and Helena, before he shut her's out. He ran his hand though his hair, noticing he seemed to have turned over in his sleep. Kyle stared upward for a moment, simply relaxing when he noticed that Helena's presence was in the study. It was likely she was picking out a book to read, which reminded him of something a bit amusing. Normally, due to his height, he placed the less interesting books, such as dictionaries, encyclopedias, bibliographies and the like, on the lower shelves, while the others where higher up, where he could see them. Now, he had a surprisingly large number of these reference books, so it was likely Helena wouldn't be able to reach any of the ones that would catch her eye.
He chuckled a bit, the image of her hopping up and down trying to reach a book was rather amusing, but he should probably get her some help. He sat up to head down to the study himself, when suddenly the events of the earlier part of the day rushed through his head, turning his face a brilliant tomato red. He buried his face in his hand, suddenly excruciatingly embarrassed. Seeing Helena suddenly didn't seem like the best idea, as the way he'd acted previously was something he'd rather forget. Losing himself like that wasn't something he normally did, and being seen like that was even worse. Honestly, Kyle wasn't sure he'd ever live that down. Maybe sending one of the servants would be a better idea. After a few moments, he decided to send Harold, as from what he had sensed over the last year, Helena had interacted with him the most. Harold was just heading out of the kitchen, toward the stairs, and seemed to have nothing else to important to attend to. Nothing that couldn't wait anyway.
Kyle stood up when Harold approached, opening the door and leaning out. His face was still rather red, but he choose to ignore that fact. "Harold." He said, "Would you mind helping Helena in the study? She probably needs help reaching the books." Harold nodded, not appearing surprised in the least, as he had long ago become used to his master suddenly appearing to request something. "Of course, M'lord." He answered, heading back down the stairs to the study. Kyle leaned back in the room and closed the door. After a moment he sighed a bit, and headed back to the bed. Maybe he'd just lay down for a while, that sounded good. Try and forget about how embarrassing his actions had been. Harold approached the study, knocking once before opening the door. "Would you like some help, M'lady?" He asked, stepping into the study.
