It took him a day to get things under control, but he finally managed to get some things put together in well enough light for him to manage what he wanted.. a look that wouldn't absolutely set the kids ablaze with fear. And while he figured that they would actually only ask a question or two about it, or assume daddy was wearing a costume.. he couldn't face them any better than he could face Jewell with that image.
He mentioned to her about that issue, and that he'd be sure to see them within the next day, or so. Hopefully, she'd understand that it took a little longer. .. he prayed. At least he showed up, this time! That was, to him, the most important part of this. He showed up, showing that he was being honest and true to the promise that he made to her, and the children alike. The only thing that needed to happen now was answer a few questions as to where he's been, and maybe simply enjoy spending time with them as if life itself hadn't go on.
Surely, he'd act as though he hadn't even left, after they got settled. It was the only way to really make it a smooth transaction.
..he also recalled Amanda's issue. He would make certain to talk to her about Skyler. For her, and for Jewell. Maybe for Skyler, too. After all, he seemed to make her happy. And he was alright with it, for as long as someone was able to do it.
Lavender locks were tugged away from his eyes as he approached the home, lifting a hand to the door and quietly providing a knock to the wood. He quickly took a step or two back, adjusting the shirt that he wore, a hand smoothing it over in the off-chance that it had become wrinkled. His hands lifted to part the lavender locks a bit more, before he was looking himself over from his own perspective. "Okay... not bad!" He smiled as he lifted his gaze to the door, tilting his head to one side as he noted no one had come to answer. He bit his lip as he lifted his hand to knock, this time actually doing so. He was sure to not overdo it and bust the door apart, and it came off as what a traditional knock of the door would sound like.
He'd take a breath.. here we go.
