The door to Sylv's hospital room was open.  It appeared as if there was more than one nurse occupying the room.  Aleksandr tensed, feeling a bit worried that something more may have happened to Sylv while they were gone...  Not that they had a true duty to look over her.  The hospital should be responsible enough for taking care of her, right?

Father Seraphim had assessed the situation more quickly than Aleksandr had.  He picked up his pace and found himself standing in front of Aleksandr, "What seems to be going on here?"  He knew he could trust Nurse Gina, but the other two seemed to be humming and grumbling about something or another--they had a strange vibe.  Father Seraphim knew he had a duty to take care of Sylv and was ready to step in a vouch for her.  Father Seraphim realized that Sylv may not be able to live on her own and was willing to open up their humble home for her.  Aleksandr could sleep on the couch.  He also was aware that she may decline living with two males.  If anything, he would try to suppliment her with some cash.  He hadn't gone over his plan with Aleksandr, but as head of the household, he really did not need to relay everything to Aleksandr.

The hypocrisy of the situation was that he expected to know everything about Aleksandr, but he never expected to tell Aleksandr everything--it was a fear of worrying his son. There needed to be a stable rock in Aleksandr's life.  He took being  a hypocrite instead of a nervous wreck.  However, Father Seraphim's nerves were beginning to burst at the seams with the way that Aleksandr treated him.  It was suspected that Aleksandr already knew that his father was a mess, just waiting for his father to finally break and... go away....

Aleksandr said nothing as he listened to his father speak.  He folded his arms, standing behind his dad, acting as some false reinforcement if needed. [@Arista]
