"Well, it's a little too late for that now..." Jesper sighed and put his arms around Abilee's shoulders. There wasn't really anything to do about it, since he's already late... Oh well, hopefully Abilee's friend would forgive him some day. "I'm fine," Jesper rolled his eyes, but smiled. He hadn't really had any injuries a few spells couldn't fix.

Abilee nodded, but gave a small smile as they continued the walk towards the back and the stroy telling about the funny crash. "Good, I didn't plan on dating someone who was cut into millions of pieces," she laughed, with a small smile and shrug.

Tristan blinked at the woman, not understand what the she was saying to him but she wasn't Mummy.

He patted her cheek a little hard and made a pouty face up at her. Tristan babbled away trying to get her to go to Mummy or Daddy, or at least Uncle Malachi. He did not enjoy this new face, happy or not around him.

Ronan led the pair into the room where everyone was gathering and settled on standing next to Pandora again, wrapping his arm around her waist and kissing her cheek for a brief moment.

"See? Everything's going well so far." he whispered in her ear, knowing that she was not a fan of having a big crowd to entertain.

He looked around the room for their children and saw Roisin with Uncle Malachi and Tristan with Pippa. Oh, he did not look too happy but Ronan was going to let the boy get over his little tantrum of underattention.

Malachi led the way up through the castle, following Pandora. He tried to comfort Roisin but the little girl's crying just got louder and louder, bouncing off the thick stone walls of the castle. "What's the matter little one? Hmm? Does Uncle Malachi smell bad?" He cast a glance at Frida, a wry smile playing on his lips. "You're not helping my reputation as a ladies' man little Rosie." He kissed the baby lightly on the forehead and reached out for Frida's hand as they reached the sitting room.

Roisin wanted her daddy and reached up to Uncle Malachi's face while she was crying, tapping him to try and get his attention. To heck with this, I want chocolate milk! It was an odd thought for Roisin to have, she had never tasted chocolate but she had heard her mummy talking about it. Roisin saw her daddy and reached out towards him.

Pandora looked around the sitting room as Ronan kissed her cheek. Surprised, she blushed and simply nodded in response. "Make yourselves comfortable everyone, that way everyone can be introduced." She smiled at Gabriel, tickling him under his chin. "You're a good boy aren't you?" She said to him quietly.

'Oh gosh...' Frida thought as they entered the castle and walked through it's corridors. This place sure put her home to shame, that was for sure. But of course, Frida was always fond of old structures, they had more character about them that made them exciting and magnificent.

Ugh. Roisin's crying was really starting to stress her out now. Frida's head was throbbing and she could feel her mood start to slide downhill. 'Stupid potion.' Frida was able to think after a moment, 'Should be working stronger than this.'
Realizing that she had lagged behind a little ways, Frida sped up and walked side by side with Malachi. Poor man had to deal with a fussy child all by himself. Heh....

Frida couldn't help but smile a little bit, even though she tried to stop herself from doing so. "Cute, Mal. But no, you don't smell bad." She raised a brow at the man and pretended to gaze at the castle's ceilings, "Oh is she?" Frida asked, looking over at Malachi with a grin. Nevertheless, Frida took Malachi's hand when he reached out for her's; lacing their fingers.

Frida giggled lightly as Roisin tapped her Uncle's face. It was kinda cute, seeing a grown man being 'hit' by a tiny person. She gave a little sigh of relief when Roisin reached out for her father, perhaps that meant that she would settle down.
Smiling as Pandora invited everyone to get comfortable, Frida nodded and released Malachi's hand. She headed over to a long piece of seating furniture and sat down. Frida then reached into her bag and took out a piece of wrapped chocolate, which she quickly opened and popped into her mouth...surely the caffeine would help.
