He stopped what he was doing and came around through the front wiping a little dirt from his hands before closing the door behind him. "You're awake. It was a pleasant surprise to find you here!" It had been a wish answered to find the young Hale hiding out in his house. It wasn't a common occurrence, nor was it rare and he was glad to have a refuge for the young man when he needed a place to get away.<br/><br/>"Wait, what?" his brow furrowed softly in curiosity. "No, no, no..." he took the bottle holding it up to the light that came through the window. It caught the facets of the ornate topper and Alvaro sighed with a lilt of his head as he gazed at it. "Raimundo, you shouldn't have. It is like a piece of beautiful art," he looked to Ray Jr with a warm smile of gratitude. "and quite exquisite to the pallet, I'm certain."<br/><br/>"Gracias, my friend,"  he reached out to put a light hand on Ray's right cheek and a kiss of thanks on the other. "Gracias for speaking well of me. We will show them." he nodded in agreement. "We will show them."<br/><br/>"Please, por favor, sit. Should we taste it now or save it for a nice evening on a balcony?" Then he chuckled lightly. "It will be nice to be able to sit on a balcony for leisure."<br/><br/>He had been content with his arrangements, but it wasn't until he had been out on the lawn that day working with the others that he'd felt the kind of freedom he'd once had. He had missed it more than he'd realized. For a moment, he just looked at Ray, appreciating him for the things he'd accomplished and the man he was on his way to becoming. It spurned his mind back to his earlier thoughts and his expression took on the thoughtfulness of genuine concern. "And you? I could see the conflict in you at the meeting. Are you ok with the changes for you?"
