Alex finally smirked lightly. While there was a good chance running into Micah would really flare up his temper and get him going again, for now, he was starting to relax a bit. As long as his family was alright, he was alright. But yes, he planned on being extra over-protective with Leto and Levon, now that he knew the guy who had done so little for them both was onboard. He settled down onto the couch again, hoping to further calm his nerves before attempting to leave the room.
"So, are you two going to be out and about for tonight's festivities? And the munchkin - think he'll make it to midnight this year?" he mused, trying to sound more casual and conversational.
