The door to Andrew's office banged open by a hard push from the other side. There wasn't the decency of knocking or even a question for permission. Lukas stormed into the room, dragging a reluctant Alec with him by the arm.

The boy had a developing black eye on his face and his clothes were scuffed and torn. It wasn't too much of a loss, at ten, he was starting his growth spurt and would likely out grow them within a few months.

He let Alec go and he stumbled a few feet.

"What," Lukas snapped, as always in Russian, "Have you been teaching the boy?"

"Yes, sir."

He gives Andrew another suspicious look and then gathers his things up and shoves them into a bag. For a second it looks like he's going to grab his dragon, but leaves it on his bed. He does take his school things, however.

Lukas is there now, watching the proceedings.

"Come on. We'll go get something to eat before we go home."

"Okay." Alec continues to give both adults the same look.

"I'll see you soon, Alec. Have a good time."

He wants Alec's time with Lukas to be as normal as possible, given the circumstances. Circumstances he can't tell Alec about, but that he knows the boy probably suspects anyway.

[little_troven]

"Yes, sir."

There's a frown and then Alec gives him a quick hug.

Andrew is slightly surprised, but he pats Alec on the head awkwardly, attempting to return at least some of the affection. And then he just kind of stands there, waiting for Alec and Lukas to leave, looking somewhat confused.

Lukas is also surprised, but he herds Alec out.

"Have a good trip," Alec says as he's herded. "Don't get eaten by monsters."

[rianofski]

"I won't," Andrew replies, "Be safe. Thank you, Lukas."

He gets a grudging nod as Alec waves rapidly.
