Marcel was having a conversation with Avian because he wanted to know how Liam was doing in school. He was worried that the boy's mood might be low all day or worse, he could be crying.
[Do you want to go to the school to check on him?] Avian asked as if it was an option. What was the point of monitoring the boy if he won't believe what he is reporting back to him?
"Are we done?" Marcel asked with a polite smile. He decided to act like he did not notice the way she had gotten surprised. Anne nodded like a pecking chicken and Marcel stood up from his seat.
His hair had already been fixed so he went to the centre of the floor to wait for instructions from the director.
