Alise slips silently into the room and speaks quietly to Rowan who nods her head. “I think thats a lovely idea..” Alise nods and goes to leave the room but her attention is grabbed by the sound of sobbing. She glances around the room and finds Mya, sitting on the windowsill crying.

Alise goes to her and picks her up. “Shhh... its all right now. Laila and I are going to help Star get more comfortable. Would you like to help us?”

Nodding, Mya then flits up to Alises shoulder and grabs a strand of honey gold hair to balance herself. She wipes her eyes and whispers to Alise. “Mya scared for Star...”

“Oh, I know. But she is going to get better. I know it.” Alise sends a sylph for a bottle for the baby, then grabs the things she brought for Star. She sets them in Stars room and then goes back to the library and scoops up the newborn baby. He gives a sleepy yawn and stretches in Alise's arms making Mya giggle. When the sylph returns with the bottle she takes it and knocks on the study door.

Raina opens it and tries to put Alise off... “Erik is really upset...”

“Raina, ma souer. I love you dearly but you must get out of my way. We are all upset.” Alise gives the door a kick with her foot and enters the study.

Alise takes a second or two to look around. This was the room where she tried so many times as spirit to get Mortuis' attention. This was where he finally started reading from her diary to her and where in her frustration she had launched a book at his head.

Shaking her head slightly to clear her thoughts she walks over to Erik, who is standing by the desk. He looks up at her approach and reaches for his son. Alise hands the baby over gently, then hands Erik the bottle. “He needs to eat. Do not forget to burp him or he might spit up on you. Your son needs you, there is no time for you to shut yourself away. Star is going to get better, I will not believe otherwise. Laila and I are going to help her clean up and then you can come back. Rowan says the seizures should be done with now...”

Before Erik can reply Alise turns and leaves the room. Three sets of jaws drop as the door closes firmly behind her.
