Altair is reading a message send from the Acre about the Templar recently activities and the increase of the supply. As he about to reply the message, a soft knock come from the wooden door of his office. He give permission to the person on the other side of the door to enter and return his attention to the important message that must deliver to the Arce. He didn't look up from the paper as the sound of the footstep grew closer and stop in front his table. When he finally finish the letter and look up from it, he look surprise as he see his elder son, Darim is standing there and looking down at his feet. He couldn't read the boy's expression as his chocolate color hair cover his eyes and the shadow cover his upper face. He put down the letter and walk to his son' side. He kneeled to his son eye level and but a hand on his right shoulder. "Darim, what is on your mind mine boy?" He ask with a gentle tone, he feel the boy shoulder sink a little bit and finally look up at him, the first time since he enter the office. "Baba is mama going to die?" He asked and tear began to fall from his grey eyes. Altair was shocked from Darim's question. "Where did she hurt, Darim? Tell baba now, who hurt mama?" Altair asked with a worried tone as the image of Maria is dying forming in his mind. "Just now I am bathing with mama, she has blood coming down her leg." Darim began to cry as he remember the horrible red liquid coming down his mother leg, he hold his father rode tightly. Altair worried has gone and but something call jealous replace it. Then an idea come into his mind and cause him to smile. He gentle pulled the crying boy out his rode and whisper something in the boy's ear and the boy began to smile like he saw a bag of candy.
Later that night.
"Darim is time for bath." Maria called out for her elder son for bath as she place her younger son Sef inside cradle inside she and Altair bedroom. She hear the boy running toward her from behind. She turn just in time and open her arm and the boy run into her embrace. "Ready for the bath, little dirty boy." She laugh soft and touch his nose and the boy smile. "Yes mama! Baba is coming too!" Darim said happily and hug her neck. Maria look confuse at first then understand. Altair appear at the door way wear his grey under shirt and pant, a towel in his hand. He smile at her and began to walk toward the personal bathroom. Maria sign and put Darim down and he chase after his father. Maria sign and began to change into her special bathing clothes.
Altair is already naked in the tube filled with warm soap water and Darim is wearing his short pant and playing the bath water. The door of the bathroom and Altair quickly turn his attention to the doorway as he expecting a naked Maria wearing only a towel and only covering her important part. His hope drop when he saw her wearing a shirt and a short pants like Darim's. He whisper into Darim ear quickly. "Darim did mama wear like this when she bathing with you?" He smile at her when she look at him with a raise eyebrow. "Yes baba, mama wear like this when she is bathing with me." Then he began to play with the bubble. "Altair I am planning to bath with you tonight but since you want to bath with Darim so much, I think that will have to cancel."
