Groans loudly, turning over and covering his head with a pillow. 'That was a yesterday,' he groans, although infact it was two days before...

Groans... That hurt. He rolls over, covering his eyes against what he can only assume is Alfred's 100 watt smile... 'Put the kettle on and I'll get up?'

Does manage his way out of bed and to the bathroom, cleaning himself up and perhaps throwing up a few times for good measure before he joins Alfred down stairs. He looks a little more awake, atleast, as he_

Settles at the kitchen island. Any evidence he has been ill are wiped and brushed away so that he's minty fresh. He didn't want to worry Alfred.

Manages a smile at the present, although he does go for the tea first of all. 'You didn't need to get me anything, but thank you.' He sips his tea, 'I love the tea you make.' He lives the tea all his nephews_

Make. They all have a distinct taste.

Smiles, reaching for the present now that he's feeling a little more human. 'Well I'm looking forward to it now. You're spoiling me.' He opens the card first.

looks at the remote control car and back to Alfred before grinning. 'Wanna go try it out then? You can show the 'auld man' how it's done.' He ruffles Alfred's hair again.

isn't exactly sure how 'she' runs, although he starts with turning the remote on. Looking down at the car and then at the remote, his fingers start to push the lever backwards, causing the car to run into_

Alfred's foot.
