" mom, i think you should let red have sweets during the holidays. it's only fair. "
perhaps there’s a glimmer of amusement laced within the answering look she casts toward her, though not enough to dispel the general sense of disapproval that accompanies the silent hike of her brow. it’s obvious that she assumes collusion even without physical proof of it ----- he’s not here for her to scour his features in search of said proof, so she’ll settle with the gut suspicion of it and condemn him mentally, anyways. guilty until proven innocent. ❛ anne. ❜ given name is uttered with a chiding fondness only she could perfect, punctuated by a soft tut of tongue against palette. ❛ the two of you act as though i’m starving him. all i ask is for a little restraint. is that so terrible of me ? ❜

A shame, really. Would like some more free time every once in a while. What other herbs do you like?”
