As Ibrahim steps out, Samia enters the room with an apple. She munches away happily before noticing Marcus is back and sitting next to the tiny Kobold scratching her head.

"Hone? How long ago did you get back?" She takes another bite of the apple.

"Sam, I've been home for twenty minutes. Where were you, you missed Ibrahim." Marcus says in a sarcastic tone.

"I what?! Oh blast, I was hoping to see Thomas." She pouts. "I went to the bathroom, checked on our little girl and got an apple. Well, what did Thomas say?"

"He said little Heide here is going to be just fine, but he still has to do a few more check-ups. He said in the meantime that Heide should stay off her feet and get plenty of rest. That being said, it's time for a certain little girl to go to bed." Marcus rises from table and paces back and forth in the room. He moves to the liquor cabinet and puts the bottle back. He then moves to the hearth and puts out the fire with a small bucket of water.

He finally returns to Heide and gently hoists her up into his arms. They make their way through the house and up the stairs to the master bedroom, he lays the child in very center of the bed and rests her head on the pillow. The bed is easily able to fit up to four adults. Marcus leans over and envelopes the Kobold with the white fur blanket. He meticulously tucks her in, securing her in a comfortable cocoon. Now all that can be seen of Heide is her head and that of the fairy doll Ibrahim gave to her, sticking out of this massive blanket.

Marcus content with his work, leaves the room to fetch Heide a glass of water. On his way there he checks all the doors and windows, making sure each is locked and secured. He does one final take out the front window. The street is pitch black save for the one street lamp glowing bright, casting a circle of light on the ground, snow gently raining down.

"Hmph, Cyndwella must be having a real fun time." He says before pulling the drapes closed. Several minutes pass and Marcus retuns with a glass of water and sets it down on an small table by the bed. Heide fades in and out as she becomes comfortable, till finally sleep takes her and her eyes shut. Samia lays next to her, smiling like a mother as she pets the girls head. Marcus doesn't say anything as he exits the room and crosses the hallway. He quietly opens the door to his daughters room and stealthily scoops her from her bed and brings her into the master bedroom.

He lays down in the bed with Roxanne in his arms, laying her right next to Heide and tucking her in as well. Marcus scans the two sleeping girls and Samia.

"You know what? I think I can get use to this sight...." He smiles.
