Albert wasn't aware of much because he had Bella in his arms and she was still babbling away about this and that, mindless stuff which all seemed so important. He couldn't believe how much she'd grown in this short space of time and she say so much more now. A minute or two later she was wiggling in her arms to get down and Albert carefully lowered her to the ground, and holding Moo in one hand, Bella took hold of Albert's with her other and started to tug him towards Mac.
"Move," she said, tugging at his hand and grinning as he started to walk. Soon they were by Mac and Bella reached to put Moo in Albert's pocket before reaching up to take both Al and Mac by the hand. "Sleepy," she said softly, yawning, "Moo's sleep too.. bedtime!"

Each place had it's own private hot spring sunken bath, closed away from the rest of the living rooms. It was obvious as Mac entered the room, and Bella cheerifully skipped into the area set aside for her, she had been there before.
Mac turned to Al, still not quite sure what to say to him.
"The bathing room is that way." He pointed. "Do you need some food?"

His gaze shifted as he was spoken too, and Albert shook his head, "Just a wash up and some clean clothes if you have any spare." He didn't want to be a burden. "She'd gotten big," he said mindlessly as he walked towards the bathing room, pulling on his shirt as he did. Albert's skin was like a map of their journey, filthy, bruised and covered in cuts.

She missed you.”
no subject
Date: 2012-02-17 08:14 am (UTC)The rest of his clothes came off and he moved towards the sunken bath, "Shame we can't stay here," he said as he started to slip into the hot water. "Just the three of us..." In other words no Selene and no Eothian.

Leaving Al alone, Mac went in search of someone who could give him clothes to fit Al. Then he returned with an armful of items. Taking them into the bathing room Mac purposely kept his back to Al as he laid out the items for him to wear.
“These should do you.”
no subject
Date: 2012-02-17 10:56 pm (UTC)He didn't notice the return of Fia until he spoke, and Albert opened his eyes. "Can we talk? I... I need someone to talk too... please." There was something in his voice, a pain from deep inside, "I need to ask something of you, a favor I know I don't deserve."
no subject
Date: 2012-02-17 11:56 pm (UTC)He didn’t want to hear the pain in Albert’s voice, it wasn’t like he didn’t expect to hear it either seen as this was the first time they had been in the same room, almost alone, for a while.
no subject
Date: 2012-02-18 12:00 am (UTC)He let his words hang in the air for a moment, "He's convinced he's in love with me and is determined to be around me because he's convinced I can't live without him. He's got it half right but he's connecting it to the wrong person." His voice softened, "And if he tries to kiss me again I swear to god I'll break his nose. And we both know you don't want me hurting Eothian, you've just got him back."
no subject
Date: 2012-02-18 12:19 am (UTC)His voice was low as he spoke; there was a clipped tone to his words.
"I would have thought your one over riding thought would be Bella. Not, how to have Eothian stop kissing you."
no subject
Date: 2012-02-18 12:29 am (UTC)"She is, which is why I know that if your brother doesn't leave me be then I will either have to leave her in your care or ask mom and dad, or even Brea and Hawken to adopt her. I know I can't cope with him trying to force himself on me, and when I asked him to call you to help us find Bella. All he wanted to do was follow me around and try to make me kiss him back." He fell silent for a moment, "I had this idea, I was going to get that house near mom and dad you and I talked about, I was going to a great dad and have Bella live with me and... and I was hoping you'd come and see her there, or take her out if that's what you wanted. But with him around I can't, we both know she's happiest when there is no fighting and with Eothian around there would be nothing but fighting."
Albert wanted to reach out and take his hand, "And I hoped that you'd realize that everything you want is in that house with Bella and I and..." He fell silent then, tired and emotionally exhausted. "I can't believe how big she's gotten..."
no subject
Date: 2012-02-18 12:47 am (UTC)“She asked about you every day.”
no subject
Date: 2012-02-18 12:51 am (UTC)Tears fell down his cheeks and he drew in a shaking breath, "I was so scared," he said softly, "Scared something might happen to her, scared that when I got here she'd be all grown up and not remember who I was.. scared I wouldn't be able to bring her home because.." Because he wasn't anything special. "I missed her every day, she's what kept me going."
no subject
Date: 2012-02-18 01:01 am (UTC)“She won’t forget us.” Mac was certain of it, and wasn’t just telling Al to make him feel better. He didn’t like seeing Al cry, yet he understood how much the other had been through. His expression softened.
“Are you finished with the bath? There is some food if you need it.”
no subject
Date: 2012-02-18 01:05 am (UTC)"Can you pass me a towel or something, please." His voice was soft and he moved towards the end of the bath to climb out, "You only asked me to stay here because you knew she'd want us all here together."
no subject
Date: 2012-02-18 01:12 am (UTC)“Would you have preferred to stay with Audr’s daughters, or Brea and Hawken?”
no subject
Date: 2012-02-18 01:18 am (UTC)He dried himself and dressed in the cloths Fia had found for him.
no subject
Date: 2012-02-18 01:26 am (UTC)Turning away he left Al to finish up in the bathing room. A few minutes later he had served out some small delicacies, mostly fruit, berries, and nuts, on a serving tray and poured him self a goblet of wine.
When Bella murmured unhappily in her sleep he went to her, speaking softly, and covered her back up with the bedding. She settled again letting him go back to his wine while he waited for Al.
no subject
Date: 2012-02-18 01:31 am (UTC)Dressing he ran his fingers through his hair, turning it into it's usual mess and he tried to flatten it, but it didn't work. It never really did.
Moving back into the main room, Albert stood on the edge of it looking a little uncomfortable until his eyes fell upon the sleeping form of Bella and he smiled. "She's going to break a lot of hearts when she's older."
no subject
Date: 2012-02-18 01:39 am (UTC)It was the only time since they had been together did he allow a light teasing sound come into his voice. Still, he looked a little pensively at Bella; knowing Al was right.
“Are you hungry?”
no subject
Date: 2012-02-18 01:42 am (UTC)They both knew that was truth. Big scary Fia was a push over when it came to the small child asleep in the room.
"A little, tired more than anything. after the journey we've had and everything else, my mind just wants to shut down." He looked at the food and then around at the room, wondering where he was allowed to sit, or even end up sleeping.
no subject
Date: 2012-02-18 09:45 pm (UTC)“There is only one bed.” He said explaining as he tied the drapes back. “You can have it. I’ll sleep on one of the chairs.”
no subject
Date: 2012-02-18 10:00 pm (UTC)Swallowing he moved slowly towards a chair and sat down, reaching behind him to rub at his stiff neck. "How long has she been here?"
no subject
Date: 2012-02-18 10:09 pm (UTC)“Take the bed.” He wasn’t going to argue about it. At Al’s question his gaze went to Bella. “They had blocked the betweens, and I couldn’t get to her when Hawken told me to leave.”
His voice remained soft as he thought about his own time trying to get to Bella. “A week or more.”
no subject
Date: 2012-02-18 10:17 pm (UTC)His attention turned back to Bella, "She looks older, and the way she talks now." There was a moment's silence, "What do we do if she doesn't want to go home, because here is the only place you and I are in the same place?"
no subject
Date: 2012-02-18 10:23 pm (UTC)The words almost echoing Hawken’s words when the goblin announced matter of fact, Mac wouldn’t be going with them. “She’s our daughter Al; I’d give up breathing before I’d abandon her.”
Some part of him hurt to know Al thought so little of him. Believed he could just ---then he realized with everything they had been through he hadn’t given Al much reason to think otherwise of him when it came to important matters between them. He remained quiet and when the silence drew out he spoke again.
“I’ll stay with her.”
