"Why are you here?" Edgar asked, not too happy by the sight of Dominic standing outside his door.
"That is not the way to visit your favorite Carson relative. I came to see how Alfred is doing," Dominic said, stepping in the doorway to go inside the home. "And since Tobias is not in the palace I don't want to stay there. Hey! Wait wait wait," he repeated when Edgar started to close the door on him.

"Move your foot or lose it," Edgar said as he tried to shut the door on Dominic.
"This isn't nice of you," Dominic said as he continued to try to force his way inside. "Duchess!" He yelled, happy to see the woman of the hour coming downstairs.
"Why are the two of you fighting by the door? Edgar?" Alessandra looked at her husband for an explanation.
"He wants to stay here," Edgar replied.
