The eccentric elder looked a little embarrassed and glared irritably, snapping, "Did I say you could speak? Get out!"
Will left sullenly. As he passed Adrian Hawthorne, he added, "Remember to bring her over!"
The eccentric elder's glare was sharper than a knife; he looked as if he wanted to poke a couple of holes in that idiot. 'When did I ever say I missed that chubby girl? I just feel sorry for the little thing, being cooped up in the house. It would be good to bring her out for some fresh air.'
Adrian Hawthorne said, suppressing a laugh, "I'll try next time. The main problem is that her parents watch her so closely and don't let her go out. That girl's a prime target for kidnappers."
The eccentric elder rolled his eyes. "All you have to do is be more careful."
'Only a useless person can't watch over one little girl.'
