The sound of a noisy baby making his way across a carpet was enough to get Edward's attention. He spotted Jacob and Ruth, noting that the latter was evidently taking a nap. He couldn't fault the woman considering the day she'd just had. But it was clear that her boy was uncaring that his mother was trying to sleep. Edward walked over and bent down to pick up the young lad as he said softly.

"You young man should be asleep."

He kept his voice low since he didn't want to wake Ruth, gently rocking Jacob in his arms.
