A consultation made it sound like he was off for a Doctor's appointment so he was rather sadly watched as he ventured down the hall and into the nearest lift. Anthony hoped it would go well. They could use some good health related news. And he did want to chase after Alec, to go with him, sit through the consultation... but it wouldn't be welcomed.

So instead he looked towards the door of his apartment and wondered if he should knock. A silly notion as it was his place and why should he?

Evelyn listened to Fell's concerns and found she shared many of them. It wouldn't really be her place to go around telling family stories to people only recently invited into the family... at least not without filling up her teacup again.

"You are a very kind man Mr. Fell. I'm sure that some where deep inside him Alec does appreciate that. It's just... I'm afraid he has become very good at keeping people at arm's length. I know he had a very rough time of it growing up and I think due to that he has difficulty relating to others."

She sipped her tea.

"I worry about him too, especially after Anthony called about Alec's heart attack. I wish there was more I could do for him. I hate to see either of my boys suffering."
