Azaroth shook his head and made his way back to the main room, leaving the bottle on the table. But he couldn't quite shake the last thing Sal said and if they were going to stay up, he wanted to keep her talking. He refused to allow her to disappear into her own mind after everything that had happened. "What are you thinking?" he asked quietly sitting next to her.

She jumped a bit and blinked at him "At the moment? How much I prefer my tea to Sal's... you'd think a potions master would have a better blend of tea?" She wrinkled her nose as she took another sip.

"No account for taste, huh?" he asked almost lightly. "We'll get you more tea - lots of jasmine."

"Thanks..." She sighed "It will take forever to get everything back to normal... at least most of my books are still ok." She glanced at Synne and Erian "Do... you think maybe I should find a new place to live? I don't want them to feel unsafe in their own home..."

"Well..." Azaroth bit his lip a moment before continuing. "I meant what I said before about having plenty of space-" He hesitated, "I mean, that is if you would want to..."

She glanced at him in surprise "You really want me, Erian, Synne, and ALL my books to come live with you and the boys? There would be no more room in your... tree house from just my books alone. I couldn't inconvenience you like that..."

"Between a witch and a warlock we should be able to add on a few more rooms should we need them," he said pointedly. "And you could never be an inconvenience, Ro.So stop it with that already. Besides, the boys will like seeing their sister more often and..." he glanced over at his sons. "I have a feeling Arcanon won't leave Erian's side for the time being."

She sighed "Maybe.... if your sure? If this does happen I want my own room" This way she could ward it better and keep them from hearing anything suspicious or weak.

"Of course," he said quickly. "Your own room, your own library, whatever you want - we can do it for you."

She eyed him suspiciously "Your awfully eager to have us move in... when just the other day you dreaded the thought of Synne sleeping over..." She wasn't sure if them moving in was the best idea.. but it would make Synne and Erian happy. She could try it for awhile but if it was too much she'd move back home. Maybe the kids would be better off with Az just in case another crisis happened...

"Ro..." he sighed. "Why is it so difficult for you to believe that I want to be there for you, that I want to have you and the children close?"

She shrugged "You never offered before. I don't want to be a pity case just because of... well.... that."

"It's not like that..." Az said quietly. "It's just, I've never had any reason to be concerned before..."

"What? And you do now that I've proven to be useless and weak in a fight?" She glared at him.

"Rowena, you are far too kind," Az sighed shaking his head. "But my reasons are completely selfish in nature. I want you close by so I can sleep at night. I want you there so I know should there ever be a need, I'll be able to help you and you won't have to face it alone, because you already face too much alone."
