Once in the complex, he headed to Freddie's apartment. For those few moments, he put the bad feelings he had for the man behind him in order to thank him. After all, who knew what exactly the girls had put Freddie through while with him. Once the girls were picked up, he headed back to the second floor with them and Svetlana. He started to head for his own apartment, but saw that Svetlana invited him back to hers.
Of course, wanting to make sure she and the girls were all right, he followed, stepping inside. He moved to the living room when the girls went off to their room and Svetlana stepped into the bedroom. He was about to sit down when Fayina came out and confronted him. Oh he hated when the girls did this. They were good at laying the guilt on him, even when he knew it was deserved. But he was caught a bit off-guard by exactly what Fayina said.
"What do you mean mean people hurting her again?" Because, of course, he didn't know what had happened to Svetlana while he was gone. Of course, he had also been out of practice in being the knight. Then Fayina kicked his shin and he let out a bit of a yelp and doubled over a bit, grabbing his shin. He saw the glare she set on him and took a deep breath, straightening up after a few moments. "I know I'm the knight, and I will protect her. I won't fail her again." Because, of course, he was intent on being a better family man. Even if Svetlana kept him at arm's reach, he would at least be there with them all from now on, watching over them and doing what he could to make up for lost time.
