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!"

Mac took the child and Al through corridors made of marble and stone. Delicate and etheral so different to the dark, dang world Hawken brought them from.

The quarters themselves were filled with light.With gentle soft comfortable furnishings. 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?"

Mac stood in the doorway leading into the bathing room. He had to take his eyes off Al unable to look anywhere else. Mac’s gaze settled on Bella who by now had got herself settled in her own bed and was watching him in return.

“I can have attire sent to you.
She missed you.”

Of all the things to come out of Al’s mouth, Mac wasn’t expecting that. He thought about what to say and came to the conclusion there was only one good thing he could say,

“I’ll find you some clothes.’

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.”

“Yeah, I know we need to talk. So I guess you can tell me what’s on your mind.”

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.

“Convinced ---“ Mac couldn’t help sound astonished at Al’s statement. “You want me to help with what, exactly? The old man has every right to be convinced he’s in love with you. You wanted him. Now that he is back, and available, he isn’t good enough for you?”

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."

Mac didn’t want to talk about Eothian or any possible future with Al. He had to stop himself from thinking about what he and Al were doing all the time Mac was away. At the mention of Bella, he moved to the door, leaning up against the door jam. From where he was he could see she had curled up on her bed with her toy cow, to sleep. For the briefest of moments he let a soft smile cross his features as he watching her. Pulling his thoughts back to Al, he spoke again, this time his voice didn’t sound as hard.

“She asked about you every day.”

Turning his attention back to Al, he spoke again,

“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.”

Finding a cloth used for towelling body’s dry, he held it out to Al. Waiting for Al to come out of the bath.

“Would you have preferred to stay with Audr’s daughters, or Brea and Hawken?”

“We can have that for now.”

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.

“You think I’m going to let those hearts, near our daughter?”

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?”

Placing his wine goblet down, Mac walked towards what looked like a wall of draps. Pulling back the curtain pull revealed a large poster bed surrounded by silk drapes and bedding.

“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.”

Moving to sit near Al, Mac poured himself another drink.

“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.”

“I am Hawken’s ambassador. My job was to oversee negotiations, I couldn’t come with you.”

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.”
