Tobias looked up when he heard Emma cry and quietly cursed himself. He leaned over the banister again and looked at the stairs without seeing anything. Then when the door opened, he looked up once more. "Aye, I'm sorry about that..." he said, quite embarrassed. He straightened himself, despite feeling almost too tired to do so. "I'm about to have a drink. Will ye come down and join me. I'd like to spend some time with Emma." And show her that at least one parent cared, he added bitterly in thought.
