[RL: Maraich and Astro]
Maraich was in his apartment, as usual, watching his son. He had Matthias set up in a little chair to play with a variety of colorful toys. Nearby he was resting on the couch.
He expected Astro to show up at his place sometime soon, so he listened for the door. He had only known the little boy for awhile, but it sounded like he had some serious issues to talk about. Maraich couldn't help but be reminded of his own past and some of the difficult decisions he made. There were no easy choices... But people could always be supportive.
Although he expected to be asked some tough questions, he didn't want to turn his back on someone so young who seemed to be running into grave conflicts. It wasn't easy to go it alone.
His eyes glanced over at Matthias as he slowly pushed one of his toys out of his playchair and watched it drop to the ground. The baby leaned forward and watched the fallen toy with interest for several moments before going back to some of his other toys. It probably wouldn't be long before he dropped more toys onto the ground.
