Alistair watched as Thomas came over to him, seemingly just as awake and chirpy as the others when he called him Uncle Al, he couldn't help but give a glimpse of a smile play at the edges of his lips.<br/>"Sure Kid, don't see why not" He replied softly, when he mentioned about feeling better after breakfast, he knew he probably had a point, he'd began to get fairly hungry by this time. As the child put his hand up for a high 5, Alistair met Thomas' hand with his. Watching as the boy then went off to do something else, seemingly a little more cheered after getting his high 5. He was mindlessly listening to what everyone said, but most of the time, unless someone questioned him directly, he'd not speak up, he'd just stand there and listen. It was how he preferred things.<br/><br/>His mind had wandered slightly to other things,  but was snapped back to the morning in the kitchen when Conor had asked him about milk.<br/>"Can do" he replied, wondering on when exactly Conor would want him to help fetch milk from the barn, as much as he didn't mind helping out, and he would, most of the time Alistair would have rather have been doing other things. He loved his life on the farm, but it wasn't his calling like it was to Conor. But, he did admire how much the others loved the farm and working it.<br/>Alistair ignored the remark from Alexia about him still being her kid brother, he realized to her, he'd never be a grown up, just a little kid. But, that didn't really bother him all too much.<br/><br/>Alistair had gone back to his thoughts, thinking about everything that had been going on outside of the family life, which really for him wasn't as much as it had once been, he'd recently had a falling out with a good friend of his, even though he wouldn't mention anything to his family... he missed going out. When he heard David's voice inquire about him doing a favour, something about reading something. Alistair thought about it for a moment, he said it wasn't going to be anything to long, so what harm could it do, he needed to get back into his reading. He kinda missed it in a way, he'd been distracted and hoped maybe this would help him.<br/>"Sure can do" Alistair replied to David whom had moved on telling Thomas about his psychic mind-reading powers as a grandfather, it had made him chuckle deep down. Even though he didn't really get involved in the kitchen business, he enjoyed watching everyone doing things, and just watching them work so well together, he hoped one day, that if he had his own family, they'd run this well together.
