As Luke lept with joy and jumped in the tall man's arms, Alver chuckled and embraced the child, setting the starry blue otherworldly painting aside to scoop Luke up and basically cuddle him. Glad he was able to cheer the child up a bit. He was such a cutie! Giving a little kiss to the top of the head of the child, Alver walked back to the dining table and sat in Luke's seat, letting the child sit on his lap. Reaching his long arms out, he shuffled some of the salad, broccoli, carrots, and some slices of Apple onto Luke's plate. Piercing a carrot with a fork and held it out to Luke.

He was a little worried over Miky's apparent recent behavior. He would have to have a talk with him sometime. It wasn't good to worry Luke so much, but it also might be something he just couldn't talk about yet. 

It made him wonder what these nightmares were like. If he beautiful side of the spells could be so enchanting, the nightmares must be quite terrifying. The albino remembered that Miky said they were quite vivid back when they were younger. It was a reason he always spaced out so deeply. Still was it a good idea to attempt to open a sore wound? But it might have to be done, for both of their same. For now, he'd focus his care on Luke.
