"I'm terribly sorry for coming in unannounced, but I can't find Alma and you seem like one to know where he is." He had woken up alone early this morning with a backache and his child positioned weirdly, which he probably should just be resting because of. Curling both of his hands against the underside of his bump, he shifted his foot under him a little as he tried not to slip on the loose pages thrown haphazardly on the floor. He really wished he wasn't such a fall risk.

"Ah, yes, I sent him on a mission early this morning, he should be back later on today or early tomorrow." Deflating a little at the answer he got from the crazed scientist, he sighed softly before looking along the pages littering the floor again.

"Thank you for telling me, I was getting worried that he just disappeared again." Trying to step aside as he heard footsteps coming up behind him, he barely grabbed onto the back of the sofa as he slipped, failing at regaining his footing. He couldn't hear anything happen around him for a few moments, but he was glad when he felt two sets of hands pulling him upright and onto the sofa itself.

"This is why we tell you to clean your office brother! How many more people are going to slip and fall before you actually do something?! Are you alright Allen?" Hearing Lenalee scold her older brother as he tried to catch his breath, he huffed under his breath softly as he felt rough jabs against his spine. At least he could tell his slip didn't hurt the baby too much. Nodding a little at the question he was asked, he was grateful to be helped onto the soft surface by the siblings. Glancing to the pages on the floor, he barely managed to pick a few of them up from how he sat to look them over, barely realizing that he had nothing else to do today.

"I'm alright Lenalee, it just jostled the baby a little. Why don't I help with the paperwork and cleaning in here? I've been told that I'm supposed to be resting, who says that I can't help sort while doing that? At least I'd be able to keep an eye on him while doing this since I have nothing else to do." Giving his friend a smile, he was glad to see her return the expression fully, dragging the eldest adult in the room back to his desk.

"I'll help get you both set up a bit for now. Thank you for this Allen, I know you wouldn't normally offer anything like this, that you'd rather be in your room." Watching as the dark haired girl started gathering partially wrinkled pages off the floor starting from right around the couch so he would have more room to move if he needed it. "I'll be back later on to check on you both and grab you for lunch." Nodding in acknowledgment, he had already begun looking through the pages that were sat beside him, starting smaller stacks and trying to sort the pages by date before going back through them.

It took only about an hour or so for him to get through the few stacks of paperwork, taking a small break before he set about trying to gather more pages off the floor. His lower back really ached, but he just tried to brush it off as his baby's odd position and their squirming. He traced his fingers against his front lightly, smiling at the lighter kicks he received in response. He really would rather be in bed just talking to his unborn baby and waiting for his partner to return from his mission, but he figured that he'd get bored of that, might as well help clean the least safe place for him to be.

"Need help getting more papers off the floor, Allen?" Blinking as he heard his superior's voice, he sat up a bit, moving to push himself up off the sofa to help gather pages from the floor.
