James grinned when he saw Ian there. But he did not respond to Alfred; instead, he gave him a blank stare and left the area. When James walked away, Ian asked quietly, "Uncle, are you all right?"
After taking a deep breath, Alfred sheathed his sword and grasped Adela's hand. "I am OK. Adela, I think this is where we should end our work for the day."

"Ian, come over to my place. We'll talk about everything there."
