Gavin smiled briefly at his wife as he came up to the pair.  It seemed to him that she hadn't noticed him walking up to them, so taken she was with Landon's appearance.  He understood that.  It had been so long since Landon had been there, of course she would focus on him.  But, when Landon moved to him and grasped him in a tight, clasping hug, Gavin gave a laugh and patted his friends back with a couple strong hits.  He had thought about being gentle, but knew that Landon would have noticed him treating him with kid gloves, which was the last thing that he wanted his friend to think.  Gavin was thrilled that Landon was safe, that his wife was safe, and they both were here.<br/><br/>He just hoped that Landon could help him with Claire.  He whispered quickly in Landon's ear as the two hugged briefly.  "I need to speak to you in private later."<br/><br/>He withdrew immediately and moved to the side of Claire, putting her between the two men.  No sign of his whisper was evident on his face, only a smile of happiness at seeing Landon.  "Damn man, it's good to see you.  I see you still carry around all your stuff in a baggie."  He chuckled and motioned to the duffel.  "Hand it over, my wife wants to hold your arm and you can't do that with that thing.  You know how she is."  He winked briefly at Claire as Landon reluctantly handed it over.  He chuckled and swung the bag up and around his own shoulder.<br/><br/>"Oof...okay, damn, never mind, no more teasing you about carrying stuff."  He laughed briefly as he had to settle the bag into a comfortable position.  He then motioned up the stairs, into the house.  "After you two."
