"The way you put it..." Norbert muttered, raising his hand to rub his chin as he thought. "Yeah, my bad," he admitted. "I didn't consider it from this point of view. But still..." he said only to shake his head.

"Are we seriously going to have this talk again?" Mathew protested, raising his face to the sky to find a recipient of his whining. He then shook his head before closing his eyes and taking a few breaths.
