Clap! Clap!
Hash applauded.
"What a heartfelt scene. Perfect for a drama."
None of them knew what drama was but they knew he was mocking Amir.
"Maeline, go pick your baby brother and go play outside."
Isabel handed Hugh back to Maeline. High unwilling clung tighter to her neck. He wanted to be with the grown ups.
"Shoo!"
Aris said rudely to the baby. He was about to cry again when Isabel warn him.
"No crying, you're a good gentleman. Gentlemen don't cry when not needed."
Hugh's cry were suspended and reached out for Maeline.
The girl happily took him and they ran outside.
"What is going on?"
Amon sigh in resignation.
"Things."
Was the only word he could make out.
"No one wants to eat lunch?"
Hash was starving. He was working with the weaponry from six in the morning. It's already one in the afternoon. Everyone was so busy that nobody remembered eating.
"You, come here."
