"Almost sleeping," he says, taking a peek down at Dane to see that he is, indeed, almost off to sleep. "I have an easier time getting him off to sleep, so once he's out, I'll hand him off to Spencer and we can get going." There's something not quite right about Raleigh's smile and her expression, something he isn't used to seeing in her face, but he doesn't want to push her. Maybe something is going on that he doesn't know about, so all he can really do is that he's promised her he would.

"I'm okay. Tired, but you know, I figure that's expected," he says with a soft laugh as he leads her into the house. That's not only because of the baby, but because he's been poring over this spell, making sure every last detail is right. He's not just duplicating something someone has done before, he's creating an entirely new spell and he needs to be absolutely certain before he performs it on someone he cares about.

"How's your leg feeling?" he asks. "Do you want anything before I pass him off to Spencer and we get started?"
