Laurent most certainly doesn’t agree, not with the dyed purple wool, the letter ‘L’ on the front or the fact that his father is wearing a similar blue one. He looks away and spots Miriel nearby.
“Mother!” Laurent power walks over to her. “Reason with Father! He insists I wear a ridiculous sweater!”
Miriel draws her robes apart, revealing her red sweater underneath.
Laurent stops abruptly. Stares at its ‘M’. “N-Not you too!”
