With an enormous sigh, Gru pads back to Alistair's side and headbutts him in the hip, eliciting a tiny yelp as Alistair almost loses his balance. Alistair sets his tea aside to give him a rub behind the ears. "Yes, hello. Did you have fun?"

To Mia: "I'm going to see if I can lure Cullen out with a bit of that bread. Yell for me if you need any more help?"

Otherwise, Alistair has no idea what he's going to do with the rest of his day.
