She looks at him with her mouth hanging open. "Excuse me?" She stood there in shock then hands Ryder to Walle.
"He won't just "piece it together eventually", Cecilia, he's a baby!" Shonen shouted, getting to his feet in anger. "He'll have to be a whole week without me! What if this scars him for life? What if he won't be able to get to sleep? He couldn't even stay in my arms for a full minute without squirming!"
"Shojo, don't yell at her. It's not her fault-"
"I know that! Don't patronize me, Walle. I've had enough of that from you already, don't you think?"
"I was only trying to help. I want to say so much more to you but I don't want to see you upset so I keep my mouth shut."
"Well you know what? I think that's bullshit. You said plenty yesterday and didn't care about upsetting me. I think you're using this magic as an excuse."
"Well I think the same thing!"
Shonen growled and stormed out of the room, running up to his room to cry alone. Ryder cried louder from all the yelling, his little face turning pink from crying so much.
