Carter was glad the owner of the bar had got away with the event that had taken place. He felt sorry for anyone who came across Asa's rage. Thankfully Carter had only seen his guardian angry once or twice in his lifetime thus far. Asa's control was something Carter admired about him. Carter on the other hand was like a ticking time bomb. One second he was fine and the next he could feel rage burning within him. "But... you're just back, can't you take care of them in the house instead?" he complained as his clothes were removed. Asa worked all morning, came home at night and then had to vanish again? He wanted to find a way to prevent Asa from leaving, but the only thing he could do for the time being was huff and cuddle into the pillow. He didn't even hear Asa leaving the room that night. His eyes closed and when his head hit the pillow he was pretty much out of it.<br/><br/>In the morning Carter did feel a little worse for wear, but once he'd had the pills, he felt amazing. Showering, dressing and even descending the stairs two at a time until he spotted Max who appeared a little puzzled. It wasn't like he'd ran down the stairs like he'd magically regained use of his organs. Once he reached the bottom it was clear he was a little out of breath, but he liked moving around when he had the energy. Maybe he'd over done it? Walking and managing to function for a normal human after strange after last nights events would have been strange to people, let alone someone like Carter. "Morning" he kept his voice gentle and followed Max's gesture to the living room where his eyes focused on Asa. He hadn't been expecting to see him until the evening, so this was a pleasant surprise.<br/><br/>He leaned his side against the door frame and crossed his arms with a small smile on his face, obeying the gesture he'd been given to wait. He could hear the ranting muffles on the other side of the phone from the doorway, but Asa didn't show any signs of anger at all. He couldn't help noticing the wine on the fireplace though... Maybe he was more stressed than he was letting on? The phone call ended and Carter gently moved his frame away from the door and took a step closer to meet Asa. "I'm going to take a wild guess and say that was work?" he asked as Asa placed his palms to his cheeks. The contact made his smile widen a little, and he gently placed his left hand over Asa's and turned his head slightly to kiss his palm. "I feel okay. Whatever you gave me last night seems to be working and Nancy gave me the medication for this morning, along with breakfast and an added few hours in bed, it was needed" the added rest had done him wonders. But his smile faded slightly when he realized Asa had came home earlier than he'd expected, which meant their added time together had been taken up by sleep. "When did you get back? I hope I haven't kept you waiting for too long. You could've come and woke me... How are you?" he asked stepping a little closer, so he could wrap his arms around Asa's waist to give him a loose hug.
