[Al has almost entirely no idea what to do in response, other than to attempt to treat him normally through the day. Though he's inclined to be gentle when it comes to chores at first, and Luca will be a big help with that, the frequent crying, the excessive sleeping and his outbursts are probably the hardest to deal with.
Al hadn't slept through most of the night anyway, and he was up before the sun to go for a run. When he came back he felt a touch refreshed, but sweaty, and came in through the kitchen door.
His immediate thought was that one of the dogs had somehow gotten into the chicken coop, but the pattern was unfamiliar. He can hear the guilty party under the kitchen table, and it takes a few seconds for reality to manifest.
Alois had just ripped the head off a live chicken in their kitchen.
Al had never felt so profoundly out of his element. He was upset and outraged, certainly... but he was far more concerned for Alois.
He stops, kneels down by the chair legs, and peers at him, worried.]
