Finn placed a hand over his eyes and sighed at Ajax' shamelessness. Aila rolled her eyes and turned after hearing a low growl, her dad had entered the room, and Ajax backed away, rubbing the back of his head with a smile.
"Well, now Ajax has made his entrance... mum, dad, you remember Finn?"
Aila continued as though nothing happened. Finn came forwards and acted as an appropriate adult and shook both of her parents' hands. Aila glanced around the little bookstore and smiled at how it had not changed. Well, it shouldn't have; she had only been away for over a month, although, to her, it already felt like a year. So much had changed since she last sat in here.
