[Ever since everyone in Norfinbury had taken control of the town's dimension-hopping technology, Alfie has stayed on his own world, never visiting anybody else. At first, he'd even been a little leery about the idea of anybody - close friends included - coming to visit him. But by now he's much more accustomed to the idea, and the Riyria duo has an open invitation to pop over whenever they want to.

When Royce and Hadrian come by for visits, Alfie allows them more reign to wander around the bakery than most. There are times - usually during his meetings - when it's "workers only" and off-limits even for them, but for the rest of the time, he trusts them not to do or say anything stupid. They know how this sort of business works. They don't need his constant supervision. And when they show up today, Ollie doesn't hesitate to usher them in.]


Are you looking for Alfie? He's in the back.

Yeah, if she takes after you. [He offers Alfie a bit of a grin.] Now I have to listen to two men complain and grumble and stomp when boys come calling on their beautiful daughters.

[Okay, he's sorry, but that gets a small burst of laughter that he has to quickly choke down so he doesn't scare the baby. Ends up coughing it out.]

I doubt it. Most girls love their fathers. Thrace--she loved hers. And if someone as sweet as Mercy can love a man like Royce Melborn...

Yeah. [Hadrian likes Mercy, too.] Like her father. [He knows you know, Alfie.] But she reminds me of her mother. [GOD, he made himself sad...]

Make sure you tell them you love them any chance you get. [For a while, he had been jealous of Royce. Gwen was such a kind, strong, beautiful woman. But then it didn't bother him so much, and he realized he cared about Gwen in a different way.

He wishes he had told her more often how much he loved her.]

[For a moment, he doesn't answer. He doesn't even look up from the baby in Alfie's arms, and then, slowly, he does.] Yeah. As well as they can be, considering. Mercy isn't quite so bad. She's young.

Royce, though...
