Yes, Kenneth was up in his room with his children, Mithai sleeping in his arms. Don't be mistaken, he had actually been testing out his newly acquired ability to crawl around, now Mithai was mobile. But his adventuring around the room all day had tuckered the infant out and he was once again curled up in his baby blankets, sleeping soundly.
When Sam entered the room, maybe with Kaleb still there, Kenneth looked up and gave a sad smile. "Hello Samuel, are you alright?" Yes, Kenneth had been watching on his bats. No, he didn't really approve of what Sam was doing, especially since Kenneth had seen first hand what Edmund could do, but he would allow Sam to talk to his father, if it made him that happy.
Sam stared down at his feet sadly before he stepped over to the bed Kenneth sat on and he climbed on, going to rest his head in Kenneth's lap. It's okay, Sam and his brothers were privileged enough to do that, especially since Kenneth started to play with Sam's ebony hair, wondering silently why Sam had come to him first, rather than going straight to Scott.

Kaleb was still there, and maybe Aeryn was there too. As soon as Sam came in, she moved to lay beside him and wrap her arms around him, burying her face into him as if she knew he was troubled. Sadness filled Kaleb's gaze and he pulled himself inside, lightly closing the door. Kenneth? He went to you because Scott is the reason why Sam is troubled. Walking forward, Kaleb stopped at the foot of the bed and played with the blankets. A part of him was jealous that he couldn't comfort Sam, after trying so hard to make Sam happy and to only result in this.
But it was also a good thing to see Kenneth pleased with them going to them, but still. A part of Kaleb wished that he could comfort people like his brother could, but apparently... he couldn't. Swallowing away those thoughts, he lifted his eyes to Kenneth then glanced over at Sam. Slowly his eyes traced back up to Kenneth. "Should I take Aeryn and Austin out for a bit to show them the moon or do you think they're fine without seeing it?" Really, Kaleb was just asking if Kenneth wanted Kaleb to leave him alone with Sam.
Sure, Kaleb didn't really approve of the Edmund thing either, but after watching the man through the bat, he had learned a lot about Edmund that the younger (compared to Kaleb) would probably never show in front of everyone else. Swallowing once more, Kaleb continued to fiddle with the blankets. No, he did not climb on the bed. Only would he crawl into Kenneth's lap if it was free, not if someone else was there. Kaleb thought himself dirt and allowed most others to step on him.

Kenneth's eyes lifted for a moment to watch his brother before he looked back down at Sam, though a smirk curled onto his face. "Well, you would have to ask them if you wanted to take them, but for now you are allowed to stay if you want to, Kaleb? Why don't you come over? You're allowed to stay here too, brother."
Austin crawled over to them and laid on Sam's other side. He reached up to lightly pet the younger twin. "It's okay, Sammy, you don't have to be sad." It was all so cute but Sam knew he would have to get back to Scott soon.

A blush passed across Kaleb's cheeks and he nodded solemnly, crawling onto the bed. Slowly, he moved to Kenneth's other side, wrapping his arms around Kenneth's torso then hiding his face into it. "Okay..." He whispered to Kenneth and hid his face into Kenneth's side and mumbled something incoherent like a child. Though, he pulled away and watched Sam sadly. "I was just wondering..."
Aeryn nodded, "It's okay... Sammy," She whispered, a part of her wished that he wouldn't go back to Scott but she knew that he should so she enjoyed his company while she could. Almost, she asked if Sam could bring Scott back up and they could sleep together. Almost. Almost... But no, she would just be quiet.

Kenneth smiled sadly at his brother before he looked back down at Sam, still running his fingers through the second oldest golden brother's hair. "Now, Samuel, what's wrong? Why did you come to me first before going to Scott?"
Sam sniffled quietly and shook his head, muttering something Kenneth couldn't make out.
"Come on, Samuel, please?"
He sniffled again before he finally decided to speak. "I'm sorry...," he muttered. "I'm sorry... I'm doing something no one wants me to do.. And.. I'm betraying Scotty by not telling him, and I'm scared he's going to hate me. I'm scared they will all hate me and send me away...."

Aeryn tilted her head, but she did not know what to say. Kaleb already said what he could, so he glanced up to see Kenneth's reaction. It was tempting to say something, but he would let Kenneth handle this. He already tried what he could, now it was his brother's turn to say it. "Even if Austin did something really bad that no one wanted him to, I would still love him... even if Daddy abandoned us and left us on our own, I would still love him... I would be mad at him, but I would still love him...."

Kenneth winced. "Ah, Aeryn.. You shouldn't use that as an example because now I feel like you will expect me to leave.." Poor Kenneth.
All Austin heard was 'Daddy abandoned us' and 'left us on our own.' He looked up his father, fearful. "Daddy's leaving?" Poor Austin, he started to cry.
It was Sam who answered. He giggled softly and reached up to tousle Austin's hair. "No, silly Austin~ Your daddy's not leaving you~ He'll always be there for you, silly Austin, Aeryn, your daddy wouldn't leave you cause he loves you~" He carefully sat up and went to rub the tears from his eyes. "I should get back to Scotty so he doesn't think I left him.."

Aeryn sat up with a sad expression, "Okay.." But then she leaned forward and wrapped her arms around Austin. "Daddy isn't leaving us, Austin. Don't worry..." She smiled more brightly and glanced up at Sam. "Can you tell Scotty I said hi~?" She giggled softly, crinkling her nose but then pushed her nose into Austin's neck. "Sorry Daddy..." She muttered to him and looked up at him.

"Of course I will tell Scotty~" Sam mused with a smile. He reached over and gave them both a hug if he could, then he went to give Kenneth one, and finally Sam went to give Kaleb a hug. "Thank you for helping me, Kaleb~ Thank you so much." If he had been successful, he tried pulling away and if he had done that then Sam climbed off the bed and went to return to his brothers. Though, before he left, Sam dipped his head as his goodbye before leaving. If Sam left, then this left Kenneth to wrap his arms around his seemingly distressed twins and tried to pull them close.

Aeryn and Kaleb had hugged Sam in return, "There is no problem, Sam. No problem at all." Kaleb said softly to him and watched as Sam left, "Goodbye..." He said softly then glanced back at Kenneth, letting go of him as he pulled Aeryn and Austin closer. "You two..." Kaleb smiled softly then turned to get up so he wouldn't intrude on anything more of Kenneth's. "It's alright."
