                               (Alastors pov)

Working on paperwork, Azzie still asleep in my lap, when I hear footsteps approaching.
"Babe?" Lu opens the door, meeting his eyes,
"Whats wrong, dear?"
"Nothing, Anthonys here to see us,"
I look down at Azzie, and then back up at him.
"Wait. Whered sebastian go?"
"What?"
Panic floods in Lus eyes. "Did he come show you his drawings?"
"No..?"
Lu turns, looking down the hall.
"Lu."
He ignores me.
There's a loud crash in the room over, Lu rushing over before he can even process.
"Fuck." I stand up, laying azzie on a sofa chair in the corner of my office.
And then shadowing in, Lu glaring at adam, who had knocked over quite a bit of things.
"What's going on in here."
"This stupid fuckin shelf fell on me. Fuckin hurt dude." Adam replied.
"Adam." I mutter.
"Oh. This shelf fell on me, and it really hurt. Dude."
I sigh.
Close enough.
"Have you seen sebastian?" Lu asks, the worry evident in his eyes.
"Uh-thats the little deaf one right."
He nods.
"No."
I look at Lu, I can tell he's already spiraling in that brain of his.
"Lu, dear, go check the apartment, I'll check the kitchen."
He nods, running off.

"Isn't he like 4?" Adam asks.
"Yes."
"How did he just vanish?"
"I wouldn't know."
Adam rubs his head and looks down at the mess he's made.
And I don't stick around.
I head to the kitchen, opening all the cabinets and  checking under the table too.
Not here.
Maybe he's in the pantry.
I head in looking around, nothing.
Hm.
I hear a small thud, it's not far.
I track down where it came from, opening a door to a small janitorial closet.
He's sitting on the floor curled into a ball.
*sebastian? What are you doing in here?*
He looks down at his feet.
"If I don't look at you, I can't see your signing."
Shock..he's never spoken before, for someone whos deaf he's definitely got some practice in..
I sit down beside him, signing in his vision line.
*you know you can talk to me.*
I open my arms, inviting him in.
He looks at me for a long moment, but eventually climbs up into my lap and lays on my chest.
His little tail wrapping around my arm.
"I just..d-don't want to be the burden..anymore."
*has anyone else heard you speak?*
He shakes his head.
*Dear I can assure you, you are not a burden.*
*but you guys have to accommodate to me, learning to sign and interpreting for everyone..*
*we do it because we love you. You've given your papa quite the scare though..where is this coming from?* I sign.
He cuddles into me, closing his eyes.
"I want to be able to hear you.." he mumbles.
