Sorry this is so short! Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ Dark Brooding Girl ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll Gaston was busy dividing his time between his daughter and the two people (Puck & Zander) who'd engaged him in conversation when he heard someone call his name. His blue eyes darted around the room in search of the voice. Oh, hello, Charles. He waved at his colleague, smiling slightly, but he wasn't about to call back to him. Deciding he should probably go over there and give him a proper hello, he started to excuse himself, but a sudden wail diverted his attention.
He looked back at the two-way mirror in his hand just in time to see his baby daughter burst into loud tears, the most heartbreaking sight for any father. He instantly knew why; she'd been fine until Charles called to him. He knew the other man probably had no idea he was talking to his daughter and hadn't meant to make her cry, but the overprotective dad side of him couldn't help but feel slightly annoyed. "Oh, poor baby Desiree!" he whispered, trying to soothe her. "Shh, shh... Daddy's here. I know... that was loud." He continued comforting her the best he could, wishing he could be there with her... but his presence was expected here.
